Amplify the good stuff. Bring attention to topics in danger of falling off the radar. Focus on legit news in need of amplification. Remember: Carl Bernstein says, "Truth is not neutral." Christiane Amanpour, says be "truthful, not neutral."

"The American people believed Donald Trump when he promised on the campaign trail that he would get our nation out of foreign wars, but this morning we awoke to another stark reminder that he is—and has always been—a liar who has never cared about keeping his promises."

If Donald Trump wanted these records reviewed and released quickly, they would be. Lawyers from other government agencies could be deployed to assist with the review. Nonlawyers could handle many of the administrative tasks. Trump could pressure compliant private law firms to contribute resources.

Trump on why he pardoned notorious drug trafficker Juan Hernandez: “It was a Biden set up. Take any country you want. If someone sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life.”

This is an illegal intervention in a country that poses no threat to the United States. Trump is trying to distract from the fact that he tanked our economy and kicked millions off their health care. Congressional Republicans need to rein Trump in before he gets American troops killed.

The chief requirement to be a Republican lawmaker is a willingness to deny reality. Here's Rep. Darrell Issa saying Trump won't run Venezuela a couple hours after Trump explicitly said he would run Venezuela.
Rep. Darrell Issa: "I'm sure President Trump having learned the lesson of Afghanistan and Iraq has no intention to tell them how to run their country. He has simply liberated them from a strongman."

Last year, Trump promised American oil executives “a great deal” if they donated $1 billion to his campaign.
Today, he gave them Venezuela — home to the largest oil reserves in the world.
This new war is not only illegal and reckless; it is deeply corrupt.
