I haven’t heard any Democratic Party politicians talk of expanding OUR Supreme Court to (at least) 13 members - in addition to a 20 year term limit.

This needs to be talked about. It needs to become a campaign promise - so that there’s a mandate.

This needs to happen now.

If you live in a red state, you may not notice ICE raids, that's because local police depts signed up to help ICE and are doing the work for and with them. Are they getting warrants? Are they profiling you bet.

What's the use of democracy if the media is allowed to lie to the public and therefore influence their voting? We have churches that do not pay taxes directly influencing people's votes. And this is what democracy is. It's bullshit. It doesn't work like we're supposed to believe.

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

I told you they’d come after Veterans’ benefits. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

Seems to be uptick in speculation on what Putin/Russian Government is going to do next.

My personal advice: Don’t automatically assume what is being said will happen, instead pay attention to who is saying what and that they’re saying it at all.

So, we are just going to *allow* Kushner to serve in this administration though no one voted for him. Not us.
Not the Senate.
No one.
And we’re not protesting this.
This sends a confirmation to the world of our weakness on the world stage.

Two ICE-Gestapo killers have been placed on leave after lying under oath about a violent encounter they supposedly faced during their seige in Minneapolis. They face termination and criminal charges.

Good, they aren’t agents, they are terrorists. They should all be sent to jail.
