The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

This wasn’t just a security breach, documents obtained by NPR from a hotel guest who found them on a printer revealed something even more disturbing: a planned luncheon in honor of Vladimir Putin. The menu literally read, β€œIn honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin.”

I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale.

Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

Daily Public Schedule for Secretary Kristi Noem
Tomorrow, Secretary Kristi Neom will visit Springfield.
Despite the Trump Administration being in office for more than 100 days and falsely accusing Illinois of not following federal and state law, Secretary Noem and her team does
not communicate with the State of Illinois and has not asked for support or coordination to enforce immigration laws.
To ensure media can cover this reality television style of governance, the State is advising the following events on her behalf:
Secretary Noem to Arrive in Springfield
Location: Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport, Springfield, IL
Event Time: 7:30 AM CT
What: Secretary Noem has often been spotted on television cosplaying law enforcement officers, so media are invited to capture her latest costume

Location: 3101 Constitution Drive, Springfield, IL

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"

Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

The Democratic Party needs to ban corporate money in the Party primaries.

Doing anything less will not solve the problem.

There are Democratic oligarchs, too.

It absolutely matters, and calling it what it was mattered. Our "experts" being unable to immediately identify it matters. It plays into how we address it now. Get your head on straight.
