It’s pretty simple.

When you do a huge armed midnight raid on an apartment building rounding up and terrorizing children and later find out there were no criminals there everyone involved resigns in shame and we have loud showy Congressional hearings.

I’m going to be real. I don’t think a system where progress is painfully, fatally slow and can be devastated at any time, setting society back for generations, is something worth fighting to maintain. I think we’re capable of coming up with something else.

Why would I work my ass off to provide valuable goods and services to my community when I can become a trillionaire by scamming rubes

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

White House Border Czar Tom Homan, "I don't think the UK is a friend of this country, a friend of the President"

Just to add, dear America, we're still friends. You're just going through a bit of a bad spell. Hope you recover at the next election, and we can be even better friends again

MO is ground zero for Trump and the Republicans attempts to cheat to stay in power. But we have a secret weapon. Our Constitution lets the people veto laws passed by the legislature and we are fighting back. ED Richard von Glahn of People NOT Politicians joined me on

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Here's the thing about Sunday's DVOA Bowl: The difference between Seattle and the Rams is all special teams. Offense/defense, they're basically equal. Seattle has been stellar especially on kickoff coverage. But the Rams' weakness was mostly FG/XP and they've changed kickers.

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.

She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet
