Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s β€œsick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.”

This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

NEW: A data broker owned by the country’s major airlines, including Delta, American Airlines, and United, collected US travelers’ domestic flight records, sold access to them to Customs and Border Protection (CBP). www.wired.com/story/airlin...

ActBlue fires back at GOP investigation, saying it appears unconstitutional and partisan In a new letter obtained by POLITICO, the Democratic fundraising platform says committees investigating it may be improperly collaborating with the Justice Department.

EXCLUSIVE: ActBlue is firing back at a House GOP investigation into its workings.

The Dem online fundraising platform says the probe appears to be an unconstitutional abuse of power to help the White House.

And racism. I factored in the attitudes and opinions of the different people I'm among (in a solid blue state) on the regular and predicted (for myself) that Harris would lose due to racism and misogyny. I get zero satisfaction from that.

Everyone should say it:

The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism.

Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy.

But that's not what's interesting about Miller.

It's not brains. It's bile.

Our National Guard troops are sleeping in squalor in Los Angeles. This is how Donald Trump treats the people who serve us. No respect. No dignity. Just exploitation for his political gain. Call them back. Let local leaders lead. Stop the abuse.

Respect to the woman cop. She took a roundhouse to the face, then immediately recovered and grabbed her radio to call it in. The two male cops lost all composure - one lost his radio and the other wandered off. And she got punched just as hard as they did, if not harder.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs.
