Two years ago, we invited all 100 senators to work in the fields. Only two of them accepted: Alex Padilla and Cory Booker.

Congress eliminated public media funding, and the president signed it into law. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

This explanation by @velshi.com of what Trump is doing with ICE, while hollowing out the FBI, is dead on the money. We need to pay attention now, before it's too late. I had the good fortune to join him for this segment. Do not miss this. www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...
'Blatantly unconstitutional’: Democracy professor on ICE tactics
ICE targeting students who have criticized the Trump administration is “blatantly unconstitutional,” warns professor of democracy Lucan Ahmad Way. “You can't simply racially profile or profile people based on their national origin and start pulling them off the streets,” says Joyce Vance. “That, by definition, is a police state.” With an explosion of new funding for ICE, as part of the GOP’s megabill, there’s yet more reason to be alarmed. With a rapid expansion of ICE, the danger, says Vance, “is that the people in charge are no longer the career officials with training who understand loyalty to the Constitution. These are quite literally people who understand loyalty to Donald Trump.”

Hey, remember when the Panama Papers were released and they showed how basically every wealthy person on the planet was avoiding taxes by offshoring their money and nothing was done about it except the reporter who broke the story was murdered with a car bomb?

Bass: I just signed an executive directive that puts all city departments and leadership on notice to protect Angelenos—essentially from the federal government.
We’re also filing a FOIA request because we want to know: Who are these masked men, and why are they masked in the first place?

If today’s New York Times editors had been working in London in 1888, they would’ve said Jack the Ripper was “testing societal norms“ and “straining the bounds of propriety.”

Did you watch the Texas press conference? We did and that was odd. The national press was largely kept out, while multiple pro-Trump influencers were the only ones allowed to attend and ask questions.
