"Nazi theory indeed specifically denies that such a thing as the truth' exists. There is, for instance, no such thing as Science' ... If the Leader says of such and such an event, It never happened'-well, it never happened. If he says that two and two are five-well, two and two are five. This prospect frightens me much more than bombs."

This describes the relationship between Trump and MAGA perfectly.

This is already known, and ignored, by Republicans.

Nothing a Sharpie and a Heritage Foundation drone can't fix.

I'm sure Rep Comer will call that FEMA leader before his committee to answer questions.
