Did anyone else have weird dreams last night?
I dreamed I was mugged. Then, gardening w/ my mom and plucking thorns from my fingers, the SAME thief ran off w/ mom’s purse. We yelled “thief!” gave chase, got him to the ground but, he got away *again* bcuz no one helped.
What could THAT be about?

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Patel, and Trump, love the confrontation; but they don't begin to understand the consequence for our safety and security -- yours and mine -- of dropping a bomb on FBI headquarters. Their agenda couldn't be more destructive if the blueprint was devised in the Kremlin.
