Ginni Thomas and Christofascist authoritarians (thread) --

It reveals what a lot of us have been trying to tell people. The antidemocratic authoritarianism wasn’t just Trump or a passing flirtation. The GOP and the Right Wing are riddled with it.
The Ginni Thomas texts with Meadows also rip the lid off another big story: The hidden role of Christian nationalism in Trump's coup effort. Their talk about Jesus delivering the election for Trump invoked right wing tropes that deserve way more attention:https://t.co/mYkxSRcvTf

Ridin' with Biden --
If you're (rightly) concerned with supporting Ukraine without unwisely blundering into a broader war, you couldn't have asked for a better president than Biden. He feels no need to prove himself and no need to kowtow to media or public pressure to performatively escalate.

New: Biden will attend a meeting today with Ukranian officials as he completes his visit to Poland. The White House said Biden would drop by a meeting between Blinken, Austin and their Ukrainian counterparts, Ukrainian FM Kuleba and Ukrainian Defense Minister Reznikov.

Meanwhile, we have our puerile, Republican-wired media --
It’s wild to me that one political party has all but abandoned democracy and been overtaken by wild conspiracy theories and the media is still covering the fall midterm elections like, “LOL. The GOP will win in a landslide because gas prices are up and there are CRT kids books.”

A reminder that, no matter how the media defines him, Nebraska Republican Sen. Ben "Rhymes with ass" Sasse is still a spineless partisan hack --
Sasse is an unextraordinary person with a wide streak of compliance and partisan hackery that does his country no service at all. And he yet again proves it. https://t.co/UYXJzI2fKR

Wait for it --
• Do the Russian people know what's really going on in Ukraine?

• Do they talk to their neighbors about it?
• What's something that doesn't fit in your ass and doesn't buzz?
