Just realized the president implied yesterday that fishermen should stay out of the water because the U.S. may think you have drugs and kill you, and it's just a blip that barely warrants coverage.
Trump: "We're seeing that there are no ships in the ocean anymore ... no there are no boats. I wonder why? Meaning, no drugs are coming across. Probably stopping some fishermen too. To be honest, if I were a fisherman, I wouldn't want to go fishing either. 'Maybe they think I have drugs downstairs'"

Nancy Mace: "We're not dealing with sane people. They need to be dealt with boldly, strongly. I support everything Trump is saying and wanting to do ... that's why I'm working to root out the teachers and healthcare workers in South Carolina who celebrate murder. I don't want them around our kids."

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.

But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.

That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

Imagine what happens when the next Dem President declares White Nationalists a terror organization.

They’ll be able to deport every one of those fuckers under the current Executive Orders.

Thanks for the precedent. ClownShoes.
The Supreme Court's decision sets a dangerous precedent.

REPORTER: Yesterday you said you were not sure who ordered the munitions ordered to Ukraine. Have you figured it out?

TRUMP: I haven't though about it

REPORTER: What does it say that such a decision could be made without you knowing?

TRUMP: I would know. If a decision was made I will know.

David Hogg has been forced out of his role as vice chair of the DNC.

His departure follows months of intense infighting, and as Hogg told us, anger with his plan to oust what he called "asleep at the wheel" incumbents in primaries around the US.

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons.

Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.
