I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic.

It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

Elizabeth Warren went to CNBC today and destroyed Donald Trump on the economy. Trump is trying to bury this appearance with a tantrum on his failing media site.

Make sure this goes viral instead.

Gabbard is planning on delivering the Daily Presidential Brief as a Fox-style television show to keep Trump’s attention. Now tell me more about how he carefully weighed the intelligence on Iran’s nuclear program.

I know this can sound kind of silly at a time like this, but doing a war without congressional authorization is ample grounds for impeachment

Trump claimed after the attack, “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.”

But today, Joint Chiefs Chair Dan Caine said Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities were “severely damaged.”

Damaged isn’t obliterated. So which is it?

The Iranian parliament voted to close the Strait of Hormuz.

Bravo, Donald Trump.

Kaine: "America was lied into a war in 2002 against Iraq with a Republican administration giving us false information about Iraq's weapons program. I have grave concern that we're going down the same path ... there was no imminent threat to the United States ... it was an offensive war of choice."

It’s baffling that Trump can justify tariffs against Mexico by citing the cartels while simultaneously cutting a deal with Sinaloa allowing 17 cartel family members safe harbor in the United States.

This is quite the read, from beginning to end. When 700 year-old documents are popping up to remind us of our rights, perhaps we ought to listen.

It’s pretty fucked up that Trump knows he can lie and take bribes because he knows the press won’t use the words “lie” or “bribes.”

I, for one, am glad that the ‘national security’ threat used to justify US tariffs on China has clearly been resolved so quickly.

One reason that none of the scandals have ever *quite* stuck to Trump is that media companies have largely not chosen to make them stick. They drop a carefully reported story under an anodyne headline, nobody reads it, everyone shrugs and moves on
"foreign influence opportunity" is like "officer-involved shooting." A cop shot someone. Foreign interests bribed the president. Just say what happened!!!

Breaking News: President Trump plans to accept a luxury Boeing 747 from Qatar that he will use as Air Force One and will keep using after he leaves office. The plan — involving possibly the biggest foreign gift ever received by the U.S. government — raises substantial ethical issues.

Let's be clear: Republicans don't want more 'parents' at home. They want more *women* at home.

If you think this isn't about eradicating women from the public sphere, you haven't been paying attention
