Kristi Noem claimed a few months ago that they arrested the girlfriend of the leader of Antifa and that was going to lead to the prosecution of the entire “organization.” What happened with that? Any updates?

Q: Is an (ACA)extension with abortion restrictions better than no extension at all
#AOC: “An extension with abortion
restrictions kills women — I will not
accept women & the lives of women as
some political cost for them being able
to extend these things — Reproductive
care is health care — Period”

Congressional Republicans have been largely supportive of the Trump administration’s strikes on boats in the Caribbean Sea.

How authoritarian states get private citizens to be ‘complicit in their crimes’
By asking people to submit tips about their fellow citizens and instances that are not in line with its ideology or agenda, the Trump administration is creating a permission structure for the public to monitor and report one another – and there’s a reason for that. “Authoritarianism is a mafia state,” University of Toronto Philosophy Professor Jason Stanley tells Ali Velshi. “And how does the mafia operate? The mafia operates by getting you to be complicit in their crimes.”
