β€˜I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

That anyone would arrogantly feel comfortable enough to put comments like these online in a message forum is disgusting. It is their misfortune that karma strikes quickly. But where is the reaction from GOP leadership...or the President for that matter?

As the W.N.B.A.’s profile has grown, so has the gap between the athletes driving that value and the league in which they play. Louisa Thomas writes about how players are fighting for the future of women’s basketball.

GOV. WALZ: "The biggest myth is that this guy understands business. He's an absolute abject failure at business β€” the irony is calling Democrats socialists when I am begging for free markets here to allow capitalism to work. Trump’s the one with government interference." (From @atrupar.com )

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

We need to stop wringing our hands and bathing in our woes for our nation.
What we need is an uprising of voters at EVERY election, no matter how big or small. We must overwhelm the polls locally, regionally and nationwide and win back our future and our democracy.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do β€” hold power to account, not capitulate to it.
