I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

This is the fourth shutdown that has occurred when Donald Trump was President - the most of any President in U.S. history.
And the amazing thing is that all four shutdowns have occurred when Trumpβs Republican Party had total control of the government.
These are, again, not law enforcement. They are armed, masked thugs. Approaching her with guns drawn, weβve already seen they will kill people at the slightest provocation, or no provocation at all. This woman was very fortunate.
