Imagine if we changed Trumps name to Obama in the Epstein files. How would people on the right react?
That's the outrage we need to have

Sir Ian McKellen. Timely and brilliantly delivered. Please listen.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Imagine if four years into our war in Iraq we had only occupied 20 percent of it and lost 1.2 million men. Would anyone say the US is winning?
No? Then how in the hell can you say Russia is winning?!

The morning after mass layoffs, The Washington Post publishes this as their lead editorial. The owner and publisher clearly have no idea why they are losing subscribers. Meanwhile they have destroyed a storied brand.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

Let’s take bets that blue states suffering from the same storm Do not get the same support from Trump.
President Donald Trump's emergency declarations allow hard-hit states like Mississippi to tap into federal resources as state and local governments work to restore power, clear roads and lessen the disaster's overall impact.
States Reeling From Winter Storm Encounter a Smaller FEMA
The Trump administration was quick to mobilize initial aid, but it’s not clear how a shrunken agency will handle the long-term recovery costs.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

Welfare fraud should always be taken seriously, but the right’s characterization of it as an immigrant problem is completely off-base — US citizens account for 95% of fraud losses.

Stand up, Dems. This is the way.
Dems might also want to introduce a bill that separates out funding for the rest of the year for FEMA, the Coast Guard, and the other less problematic parts of DHS, and say they'll vote for that -- but no $ for ICE or Border Patrol.

Stand up, Dems. This is the way.
Democrats should defund and restrain ICE to the degree possible. And they should insist on this condition at least: No ICE (or Border Patrol) anywhere near the polls or early voting election locations this fall.
Steve Bannon,
"We're gonna have ICE surround the polls...We'll never again allow an election to be stolen."
