It seems Mahmoud Khalil was arrested for being pro-Palestinian (which apparently also makes you a terrorist). Another great piece by Parker Malloy highlighting Michel Martin’s dogged interview with a weasely Trump official.

Tucker Carlson is a complete fucking lunatic. He claims that a literal demon attacked him in his bed while sleeping last year. Left claw marks from which he still has scars. Just batshit insane. Explains a lot actually.

Trump secretly sent covid tests to Putin during 2020 shortage, new book says https://wapo.st/4gVDLqy
“Putin, according to the book, told Trump, ‘I don’t want you to tell anybody because people will get mad at you, not me.’”
I love that Putin thought so little of Trump that he felt he had to warn him not to tell anyone about it.

This is a terrific interview in Politico with one of #TimWalz 's students, who's now a teacher himself. Pretty consistent with everything we already know about Gov. Walz, but nice to get the specific details and perspective.

It's seem lately that for every good thing that comes our way, two bad things happen, one of which undoes the good thing that happened for us.
The only positive I can take from today is that no U.S. vice president with a beard has been elected since Charles W. Fairbanks in 1904. So, if being an adjudged rapist, convicted felon and all-around piece of shit isn't enough to bring down #Trump then #JDVance and his fuckin' beard might be.

The fact that WaPo/NYT are more interested in stirring shit up than in reporting actual news is not great.
Democracy isn't going to die in darkness, it'll be in broad daylight thanks to these feckless hacks. Were there no other famous Georges questioning Biden's ability to beat Trump today?
Biden's not dropping out, despite the constant drumbeat. No one is riding in to save us but ourselves.

We need to stop being "shocked" at this behavior. This is who Republicans are, either open insurrectionists or insurrectionists who lie about the rioters being Antifa or claim that Democrats provoked them into booing and hissing at capital police who acted heroically on Jan. 6.
