Great read from Dan Rather:
"...The very existence of a free press is a threat to this president’s modus operandi, which is to govern by lying. Why would he want people around him who ask for facts and truthful answers?..."

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

It feels like it, but the issue with Nixon is that the GOP actually gave a shit about their oaths of office back then.
That’s not the case now. They’ve completely abdicated their duty.
If the rumors of a mass-GOP defection on the files come to fruition, we might be closer to a real Nixon moment.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC
I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.
