Trump considering deploying up to 1,000 National Guard to D.C. The number of Guard who would be assigned is still in flux, the officials say, and most of the troops would likely be pulled from the D.C. National Guard.

Trump’s move to mobilize the National Guard against Americans in DC is another telltale sign of his authoritarian ambitions. But at some point signs of authoritarianism stop being signs and become symptoms of an autocratic regime. We’re far past that point now. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/t...

Reality: that “extra revenue” is higher costs paid by regular American consumers & businesses, and the “tax relief” is going to the rich not you.

JD is pissing 💦 on your head and telling you it’s raining — and @marshablackburn is using this line also as she runs for governor.

When are Texans going to Jan 6th the Govenor's Mansion & Capitol

Remember the Republicans called Jan 6th "legitimate political discourse"

Now that we know what behavior is acceptable for "legitimate political discourse" The Govenor shouldn't have any problem with it

So ridiculous. (And so familiar)

Measles was eradicated with the vaccine, which is 97% effective at preventing measles.

Antivaxxers are the ones keeping people sick for profit.

This really is a nightmare

I can't wait to read the revised report about how our efforts in Southeast Asia stopped communism in its tracks with no American casualties...

In 1946 there were people in Germany and Poland who said "we didn't know". Today no one can say they didn't know, you can only say you didn t care.

💯💯💯💯💯

But every American will suffer in the meantime. Personally, I think every GOP Trumper should be tarred and feathered for defrauding their voters.

When George Will is saying something…this gives me a bit of hope

Shooter who attacked the CDC headquarters was a 30-year-old man from suburban Atlanta The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has identified the man who opened fire at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as 30-year-old Patrick Joseph White of Kennesaw, Georgia.

Ugh. What is in such a person’s brain?? So much ignorance and hate.

Also, while we're bringing back the "dignity of work" let's also bring back the dignity of fair wages? If school teachers and people of all occupations have had to utilize the gig economy to make ends meet, there has been no dignity for anyone. We need fair wages which mean we need unions.

Glad you said that-I went back and looked!
