Democracy flourishes when public healthcare and education thrive. People who trust in the protection of human rights are free to build a great economy. An honest, vigilant, and courageous media is the bedrock. Dogs, especially whippets, rule.

It was only a matter of time before the mom from last week's SNL skit called in to CSPAN
Three-time Trump voter: I'm looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment to our country. He is not worthy of the presidency. He takes bribes blatantly, and now he's being a racist blatantly. He's pathetic as a president, and I want to apologize for supporting this rotten man.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

I was a White House ethics lawyer.
I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.

Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

A County just evicted ICE from their offices. After the agency failed to pay $115,000 in rent, county officials tore up the agreement and refused to take any "blood money." The County Controller didn't mince words, telling the federal agency to "pay your bills, pack your sh*t, and get the hell out."
