They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

Trump is threatening wars with NATO and Venezuela for the same reason he’s at war with the American people: fascism must always be on the march.

Authoritarians are good at offense, but bad at defense. The only strategy for combating the Epstein crisis is literally going to war.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

President Nixon has been an honored guest of the Lakota Nation. They gifted him a headdress, which he wore in respect.

As a matter of law and principle, he reminds Americans that a Lakota - or any Indian - is a citizen of his Nation and outside certain crimes is subject to only his Nation's laws.

Koh: Trump has now spent $30 billion from the last bill for 10,000 more I.C.E. Agents that are going to be on the streets. That $30 billion would cover all the ACA subsidies for a year. It would eliminate all co-pays for prescription drugs for people from a year, and eliminate all medical debt.
