They need their participation trophies and to be cheered. Anything less means something was taken from them that they were owed.

DEMOCRACY

Congress, DOJ, and Judges who

IT WAS NEVER A LANDSLIDE

The networks took the much smaller Tea Party movement so seriously they broadcast a Tea Party rebuttal to Obama’s 2011 SOTU on top of the normal GOP one.

They had told Newsom to keep I-5 open during this stunt.

I’m willing to bet that Comey and Fitzgerald are smarter than the DoJ lawyers about what constitutes a conflict of interest, and I’m willing to bet they’ve already contemplated this and have a response prepared.

A critical premise of the work of the 14th Amendment Center is that we are all founders & framers of the future of democracy in this country.

Jeffries gets it: “Trump and his Republican cronies have officially shut down the government.”

I have always thought that Brian Mast cosplaying as an Israeli soldier was disgusting.

Seeing as how he is likely drawing VA benefits, it was particularly irksome to me.

Not sure it’s illegal (our laws always seem to bend to the will of Israel), but it sure is unseemly.

Are we winning yet?

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries.

When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom.

I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

"Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay? Let's see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face."

It’s remarkable how few white people understand how their recent comments on Charlie Kirk look to their Black & brown friends.

Five years ago, y’all told us you were listening & learning only to humanize evil in a way we’ve had to beg to experience from you.

Black square energy is alive & well.

Remember "Don't Be Evil"?

Pepperidge Farm remembers!

alot of violent extremists out there. It's almost like unfettered misinformation and right wing propaganda has created a fertile ground for home grown terrorism and we should start looking into actually managing toxic information networks. 1

Black Student Punched by Florida Cop During Traffic Stop Files Federal Lawsuit “I feared for my life,” said William McNeil Jr., whose video of Jacksonville police attacking him went viral.

College student William McNeil Jr. sued the Florida sheriff’s deputies who attacked him. Video shows the officer breaking the window of McNeil’s car as McNeil sits and looks straight ahead. Bowers then punches him, drags him from the car, and punches him again.

ICE Gives No-Bid SUV Contract to Republican Donor with a History of Fraud The $2.25M award for ICE recruitment vehicles seemed to go around normal contracting procedures.

It's not a coincidence that a GOP donor effectively gave Republicans hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions and got a $2.25M no-bid contract from ICE in return.

This is textbook pay-to-play corruption.

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. 

Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around.
