Trump and his cronies have the BBC in their sights. Leaders can’t stay silent while one of our great institutions is attacked.
We must defend its independence, end political appointments, and remove Robbie Gibb from the Board.

(3 of 3) ...we even have the video of the moment they realized they'd been betrayed. They fled the scene immediately to an overwatch position.
Trump, Alexander and Jones knew their plot to trespass on federal grounds on such a critical day to democracy would lead to violence.
The BBC had it right.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.
He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

Aspirin can be lethal to babies and young children.
There’s a reason they’re giving them Tylenol.
I worry that the more Trump says “don’t give your babies Tylenol!” The more we’re going to see babies succumbing to Reye’s Syndrome & other aspirin related complications.
