Lawless White House reassured by democratically elected mayor of the largest city in America keeping a competent chief law enforcement officer. Got it.

Another day, another MAGA outrage. Just one of many, including trying to force Ukraine to surrender. And tomorrow is another day.

Trump piles pressure on Ukraine to accept Russia peace deal by Thanksgiving The disputed 28-point proposal has put Kyiv on the verge of a โ€œvery difficult choiceโ€ as a brutal winter looms, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Putinโ€™s fool tool is browbeating Ukraine to surrender. Wrong message to send to aggressors.

Why not just announce that the regimeโ€™s policy is fascism & white supremacy, & be done with it? This is crazy, & despicable.

Federal prosecutors dismiss charges against woman shot by Border Patrol agent in Chicago Federal prosecutors have moved to dismiss charges they brought against a woman shot by a Border Patrol agent last month amid a federal immigration crackdown in the Chicago area.

Good, but these people should not have had to spend money &!time defending these bogus charges in the first place.

DOJ, Halligan slam judge in Comey case following hearing A day after a hearing in the DOJ's case against James Comey, U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan and other DOJ officials are leveling public attacks at the judge in the case.

Yeah, I always tried to attack judges publicly, & lie, while they were deliberating. Thought it might help.

These people are incompetent & downright stupid.

US and Russian officials draft plan to end Ukraine war based on capitulation from Kyiv It is unclear if Trump administration backs deal that would mean Kyiv giving up territory and slashing size of military

Trump is still conspiring with Russia to force Ukraine to surrender. What Ukrainians in their right mind would trust โ€œsecurity guaranteesโ€ from the Trump regime?

Orban likes it, of course.

We've Got the Epstein Story All Wrong In the midst of our national Epstein-mania are we missing what's really important?

David Rothkopf

Itโ€™s about the victims.

And this:
โ€œThe Epstein case resonates with and should be seen as yet another item in the growing list of outrages associated with the excesses of the oligarchs who have hijacked and perverted our democracy.โ€

Too much is never enough.

I Have No Time For "democracy hipsters"

Dr. Dan Barkhuff, former Navy Seal, always a voice of reason:

โ€œHereโ€™s where the big-tent, small-d democratic reflex matters: anyone who starts walking away from the authoritarian edge should be received with open armsโ€ฆ.With the grace that makes a constitutional democracy different from a cult.โ€
