Dear Director Ratcliffe, I write to alert you to a classified letter I sent you earlier today in which I express deep concerns about CIA activities. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Ron Wyden, U.S. Senator

Sitting U.S. senators don't make letters such as this one public unless they feel a paper trail is needed to inform the public.

Not great. Really not great.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

That’s an πŸ«πŸ•³οΈ response. We are in an abusive relationship. It’s not that our party didn’t win, it’s because our country is being blown up and the things we can do at our level ISN’T FUCKING WORKING!!! The amount of enabling is even more enfuriating!

We can build walls or we can be more ambitious β€” and build something better, stronger, and more just.

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to β€œrun” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

After reports exposed that the Trump administration (Ed Martin) is using bot accounts to manipulate social media comments, we recommend ignoring the trolls entirely. Operation Whirlwind’s tactics keep escalating from online disinformation,

In a non leader’s typical nonsensical monologue, we have a counterbalanced honest and expressive reaction from a true leader
