Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard (Gift Article) An official on the administration’s antisemitism task force told the university that a letter of demands had been sent without authorization.

So many mistakes. Not great. This latest one re: Harvard is nothing short of comical.

How is it even possible to spend $112M playing golf on 8 of the 10 weekends since his inauguration? That alone is obscene. At this rate, we’re looking at $560M (1/2 Billion) each year. Factor in all the simultaneous cuts to veterans and the poor, and it is much worse than obscene.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Wise man in a sweater in his home library πŸ“š contemplating: 

I don't know what word in the English language --I can't find one-- applies to people who are willing to sacrifice the literal existence of organized human life so they can put a few more dollars into highly stuffed pockets.

The word 'evil' doesn't even begin to approach it.

1/2: It was a very large gathering of citizens at the Not My President rally in Fort Bragg. Some said it was the largest they could remember, by a long shot… 10x the usual suspects.

It’s cruel. Unwarranted. Morally bankrupt. There’s no excuse, especially from these narcissistic, sociopathic jerks who don’t pay their fair share of taxes.

This week, we’re asking you to plan a visit to your closest US Senate office to push senators to stand up against Trump’s lawless overreach.
