Leavitt: "You always want to be the most well-read person in the room, and I try to be every day. But Donald Trump always is."

Blasphemous. It’s stunning to see a US Bishop standing right there on the stage while Paula White compares Trump to Jesus Christ.

Rubio: "Let me explain to you guys, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics" MAGA church 👇

@BrandonStraka We do - it’s already against the law

JD VANCE: "ICE arrested an illegal immigrant from Mauritania who's voted in 7 federal elections since 2008!" "Even if you take the Democrats at their word, even if illegal aliens voting is very rare, then why don't we ban it anyway?"

@atrupar 🤮

Paula White compares Trump to Jesus during event with faith leaders: "You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It's a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us. Because of His resurrection, you rose up."

NEW: The Buffalo Medical Examiner rules that the death of a legally blind elderly Burmese refugee dropped off by Border Patrol at a closed shop late at night in winter was a homicide. He died of a burst ulcer caused by severe stress brought on by dehydration and hypothermia.

@DrNeilStone Yes - no regrets

Anyone here completely happy with their decision to take an mRNA Covid vaccine? ✋

ICE guards are betting on which detainee will kill themselves next. The AP just exposed the savage conditions of a detention camp in El Paso. The Associated Press got inside Camp East Montana. What they found should be on the front page of every newspaper in this country until it closes. About 3,000 people packed in per day. Loud, unsanitary quarters crawling with insects. Food so scarce that detainees steal from each other just to eat. Disease spreading through filthy rooms, showers, and restrooms that go uncleaned. People losing weight. People unable to see a doctor. People losing their minds. Staff made nearly one 911 call per day in the camp's first five months. One call captures a man sobbing after being assaulted by another detainee. Another has a doctor describing a man banging his head against a wall while expressing suicidal thoughts. A nurse calls about a pregnant woman in severe pain with coronavirus. Detainees suffering seizures, some resulting in serious head trauma. Ages ranged from a 19-year-old who fell from a bunk to a 79-year-old who couldn't breathe. And then there's the detail that should haunt this administration for the rest of its existence. Owen Ramsingh, a former property manager from Columbia, Missouri, who spent weeks in the camp before being deported to the Netherlands, told the AP he overheard a security guard talking about a betting pool among the staff. They were wagering on which detainee would be next to die by suicide. The guard said he had put $500 in. The total pot rode on the outcome. Ramsingh said the talk was particularly devastating because he had contemplated suicide himself. Guards are gambling on the deaths of people in their custody. People who are hungry. People who are sick. People who are begging for help through 911 calls that come in every single day. And the staff turned it into a game. This is not some rogue facility. This is the system working exactly as this administration designed it. Overcrowded by policy. Underfed by neglect. Understaffed by choice. They built a place where human beings deteriorate and then the people paid to watch over them place bets on who breaks first. The AP has the data. The recordings. The interviews. The court filings. This is documented. This is real. This is happening right now in El Paso, Texas, in the United States of America. Share this. Do not let them bury it under another news cycle.

@RightWingWatch wtf

Right-wing commentators James Kunstler and Eric Metaxas suggest that Trump needs to declare a national emergency and outlaw the Democratic Party: "I think it would probably look something like a civil war." peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch…

New: Under AG Pam Bondi, the DOJ has dropped 23,000 criminal cases — including hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime and drugs — while prosecuting 32,000 new immigration cases in just the first six months of Trump’s second term. propub.li/4m4Vzmf

A single dose of a new cancer drug made a brain tumor almost disappear – in just five days. Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital reported “dramatic and rapid” tumor regression in the first patients treated with a next-generation form of CAR T-cell therapy for glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive brain cancers known. The therapy, called CARv3-TEAM-E, was developed to overcome a major hurdle in treating solid tumors: their ability to hide from the immune system. The personalized treatment reprograms a patient’s immune cells to attack the tumor, and in one extraordinary case, nearly eliminated the cancer within just five days. This novel therapy is designed to target multiple features of the tumor at once, a strategy that may help overcome the common challenge of treatment resistance in solid tumors like glioblastoma. Although the tumors eventually returned, the early outcomes were described as unprecedented. One patient saw a 60% reduction in tumor size that lasted for half a year—an impressive result in a cancer known for its aggressiveness. The trial’s success marks a major step forward for immunotherapy in brain cancer and raises new hopes for long-term control or even a cure. Researchers are now working to refine the treatment and extend its effects, with the ultimate goal of turning a once-terminal diagnosis into a survivable condition.

@etanthomas36 lol - I had the same thought

OK, not gonna lie, I thought this was another #Druski skit. This is Rep. Kat Cammack (FL) at the Young Republicans Convention in Dallas, TX. But this goes to show you he didn’t directly attack or even name #ErikaKirk he said “Conservative Women” and his depiction was spot on lol

every day this administration is involved in the most corrupt scandal in American history but none of it matters because tomorrow they'll be involved in another one they're effectively DDoSing the American people's ability to give a shit

If you truly care about fraud, repeatedly pardoning fraudsters and screwing over their victims isn’t how you fix it, and it undercuts your messaging. Get mad, but you know I’m right.

From a NYT article earlier in March explaining the MAGA influencer/lobbyist effort to convince Trump to pardon Schwartz, I can’t get this detail about the kind of abuse patients at Skyline were subjected to out of my head

This is tough to defend Joseph Schwartz was convicted of a $39M healthcare fraud and sentenced to 36-months in prison His nursing home empire collapsed and he didn't pay over 15,000 employees After serving 3 months in prison, Schwartz was pardon by President Trump and his obligation to pay $5 million in restitution to the government was erased It's reported that Schwartz paid $1M to lobby the White House to influence their decision

Out of the Top 9 best Democratic candidates in remotely competitive 2024 U.S. House races, NONE of them were White men. We need to put to bed the idea that only White men can win elections for Democrats, the data just doesn’t support it at all.

What is happening….

The sheer scale of the corruption boggles the mind.

Ken Paxton's impeachment trial revealed he used his office to help a developer under FBI investigation, who in return hired Paxton's mistress & set up a fake Uber account named "Dave P" so Paxton could sneak to her apartment. Rich that a "family values" group would promote him.
