"Some people are born Americans, just in other parts of the globe." 👏👏👏👏👏
My people have been in America before there was a republic. A 1st-generation American born in Brazil, joined the Navy, became a SARC, and saved my WASP ass from bleeding out. Some people are born Americans, just in other parts of the globe

Yes, it’s a coverup by Pam Bondi. But it’s really a coverup by Donald Trump. Bondi is his agent.

When Trump visited Mount Vernon in 2018, he couldn't understand why George Washington didn't name it after himself. “You’ve got to put your name on stuff or no one remembers you.” Reupping this prescient piece from @elianayjohnson and @dlippman

The 45th president — no student of history — marveled at the first president's failure to name his historic compound after himself.

So petty. So embarrassing. Next president - no matter who - should quietly chisel that stuff off the buildings and remove the Walmart Liberace decorations in the White House.

Only a man who doesn't actually believe in God, or the salvation that Christ offers, or in the promise of eternal life, would stand there and say something as repugnant and repulsive as this.
Franklin Graham's message at the Department of War's Christmas worship service at the Pentagon yesterday: "But did you know that God also hates? Do you know that God also is a God of war? Many people don't want to think about that or forget that."

My father came on a Pan Am flight in 1964. I’m just as American as you are. That’s the entire point of the United States.

For 20 minutes, Americans watched Donald Trump address the nation, “drenched in pure panic as he tried to bully an entire nation into admitting he’s doing a great job,” @RadioFreeTom argues: https://t.co/bQqHezypMW

Lee was a traitor, a secessionist, a slaver, and a loser. "Historically significant" doesn't get you a statue, but it can get you infamy.
It’s a disgrace that Republicans participated in this. Robert E. Lee was a greater American and more significant historical figure than whoever this is.
