CNBC: Colbert is a comedian. You keep talking about journalism and fairness in news, but we all remember Carson and Jay Leno giving Reagan the business. Where does that fit in?

Goodwill Stores have been fantastic for those on tight budgets. Suddenly, they're requiring you to provide your phone number (‼️) in order to continue to receive the weekly discounts you've always enjoyed.
STOP with this BS. Consumers deserve privacy and dignity.

It is SO complicated……..
This is as good an example of our new reality as you can find. We now live in a "heads we win and tails you lose political reality. Also white is now black, left is right and down is up.
Thank you Fox News, Newt and Mitch McConnell.

Texas gerrymandering is about racism.
Fewer districts for Black and Brown communities. More power for white Texans. It’s voter suppression by design, and it fuels voter apathy by making people feel like their voices don’t matter. That’s the point.

Local police don’t hide their faces. State troopers don’t. Sheriffs don’t. Even the FBI, unless it's a special tactical operation, and even then... they wear uniforms and ID. Why should ICE be the exception?
