The “Fighting Oligarchy: Where We Go From Here” rally with Bernie and AOC (Built to Spill opening) drew a capacity crowd in Nampa, ID. It was ELECTRIC in Red-ass Idaho, of all places.

"Bending over backwards to appease Trump for any reason — to protect yourself or your institution, to demonstrate your bipartisan apolitical bona fides, to secure a government deal — absolutely never ends well."
Comey and the lesson of pre-capitulation

can never forget that Fred Trump spent his later years totally gaga but surrounded by a gaggle of senility-denial-enablers who drove him to a make believe office where a make believe secretary had him sign make believe papers—which sounds cute til you see the sequel & the secretary is Stephen Miller
Trump’s increasingly bizarre behavior can no longer be attributed to a calculated “strategy.”
Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia?

It’s mind-blowing to me that there’s not a single corporate news outlet with an update about Dems walking out of a hearing over republicans not following the rules to advance the judicial nomination of a guy who told the courts to fuck off. Nothing on WaPo or NYT yet. Just wild.
