@DavidAFrench Dr. King pointed out that the comfortable white moderate was the greatest obstacle to the moral growth that our society needed. He's still right.

The faster the center-right and the center-left realize that they have more in common with each other than with the extremists on their own "sides," the better off we'll be.

“Rather, it’s the hard left that is taking advantage of the Democratic Party’s current weakened state to advance all-out factional warfare as their top priority, above fighting Trump.”

Brian Tyler Cohen: "James Comer suggesting that all of this corruption and self-dealing is okay because [the Trump family] admit it is just so backwards. Being forthright about the fact that you are engaging in corruption does not absolve the fact that you are engaging in corruption."

Grief Is a Form of Patriotism, Too.
This 4th of July, many of us won't be waving flags or watching fireworks.
Not because we hate our country, but because we love it too much to pretend everything is fine.🧵

“Loitering is not permitted in this area. Please proceed to a designated location. Thank you for your cooperation,” a surveillance machine tells a small cluster of National Guard troops as they patrol the fenced off Reflecting Pool in the rain.

The reason why Watergate would be a 12 hour news story today is that Trump is so corrupt that Nixon seems almost quaint by comparison. Heck, the Guilded Age guys are kicking themselves for being born in the wrong century. There's much more dirty money to be made now.

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis.
Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention.
So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption.

The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while
bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...
but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”

WATCH: @BillMaher calls out Ken Paxton for deceptively editing @JamesTalarico’s southern border remarks.
“He cut off the part where he went ‘there should be a giant welcome mat out front AND A LOCK ON THE DOOR’…That’s how you run a dirty campaign.”

Talarico fires back at Ken Paxton and Ted Cruz for questioning his masculinity: Real men don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves.
More of this please!!

Since taking office, Ken Paxton has become a multi-millionaire while our pay has stagnated.
He owns 11 homes while most Texans can’t afford one.
He trades favors with rich donors while blocking overtime pay for workers.
Paxton doesn’t serve us — he serves himself.

Christian 'Just War' principles aren’t designed to maximize efficiency or security. They're designed to restrain evil. The whole point is to make war slower, harder, and morally costlier.
Approaching war this way makes absolutely no sense unless you believe the Christian story, where our ultimate hope is not in the victories war promises here and now, but in the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.

@SaltyBahstin @JoJoFromJerz Some people are still fighting against Emancipation. The idea that we should be one homogeneous group is just as wrong today as it always has been, even if you guys manage to scrub away the writing on the Statue of Liberty. The truth will remain.

United States is a nation. A nation of a people with a heritage and a history. A nation of borders, where no third worlder can just come over here and become an American. They're not raised with a knowledge of the Constitution, the history, and the sacrifices that have been made to continually improve this nation and build upon its founding values. We're not a fwcking economic zone.

@SaltyBahstin @JoJoFromJerz There was a time when the only people born here were Native Americans. Later, the Italians and the Irish weren't good enough for the other European groups that had also settled here, and persons from Africa were enslaved in half of our country. 1/x

And another thing ... when establishment Republicans shrug their shoulders and campaign for corrupt politicians immediately after calling them out for their corruption, they demonstrate how few principles they have. If corruption is only a dealbreaker in the primary, then it's no dealbreaker at all.
David French@DavidAFrench
Can we be done with the pretense that Republican primary voters vote for MAGA candidates in spite of their apostasy and corruption? The transgression is a feature, not a bug. It tells voters they don't care about law or morality. Only power.

And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
