Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

This question just gets harder and harder to answer. Are the GOP that weak, corrupt, or both??? How can he be allowed to continue with a past that gets darker and darker...and on top of that, he is seems proud of it. What an evil "fill in the blank" (I just can't use the word human)....
I was confused by those that voted for Trump in 2016. He lost in 2020 and then led an insurrection. He became a convicted felon and rapist. Then 70+ million people still elected him to destroy our country. WTF??

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Philidelphia DA Larry Krasner warns ICE: If an agent commits crimes in Philly, I will charge you. You will be arrested. You will stand trial, and you will be convicted in state or federal court and you will do your time. Donald Trump can't pardon you for a state court conviction.

Don't forget: the largest funding spree for ICE in American history was paid for with the largest cut to health care in American history.
This terror in our streets was no accident. It was in the Republican budget.

I'll take it. Thank you Rand Paul. Can you go convince a few of your GOP friends? We gotta get this insane person and all of his crazy supporters in his cabinet out??? Jailed.
Rand Paul: "After seeing this, if you call this a good shooting you aren't watching the video. This was a real tragedy and a mistake. The man had been disarmed and then shot 10 times ... if we say things that are obviously not true, the situation is going to get worse."

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I agree. Working on a new report on this right now. What happened in Atlanta today is significantly worse than it even appears on the surface. I daresay I no longer hold out much hope that this fall will be anything but utter—and scary—chaos.
A free and fair election increasingly feels unthinkable.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."
