George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

"Stupid and dangerous" is a profound understatement.

The problem with Hanlon's Razor ("never ascribe to malice...") is that it lets malice get away with disguising itself as stupidity.

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

US bank regulator’s email system breached The agency that regulates all US national banks alerted Congress on Tuesday that hackers had access to staff emails.

"It’s stunning, and this is coming at a time when the good work done to improve cybersecurity in the United States is under extraordinary pressures, both to limit the regulatory gains and insight, and also just the resources to go after this."

A weaker US allows more Trump grift & corruption.

So the stock market has lost over $9 TRILLION in value since the Jan 20 inauguration. How's your 401k and your IRA doing?

Ya know what hasn't lost ANY value since then?

Your SOCIAL SECURITY account.

Don't let them gut it. Don't let them claim privatizing it will somehow improve it.
