Seeing this news is so weird for me because in 1989 when I was a baby 25-year-old corporate litigator in Manhattan, one of the first things I worked on was Warner Communications Inc.'s defense against a hostile takeover bid from Paramount Communications Inc.

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?
A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

Five days ago: Trump says “no problem,” he’ll certainly release whatever video they have of the September 2 boat strikes
Today: Trump says he never said he had no problem releasing the full video, launches a personal attack against a reporter who reminded him of his prior comment.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.
Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.
When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

ICE fired a munition at Rep. Adelita Grijalva as she demanded answers during a raid in her own community. No warning, no transparency, just armored agents turning Tucson into a war zone. If they’ll fire at a Congresswoman on camera, imagine what they do off-camera.

Pushing propaganda and inflicting religion on the young to indoctrinate them is VILE!
Teaching a course on religion is fine; pushing a right-wing agenda is NOT!
Get the right-wing losers and nuts out of our schools and away from your kids. They will only do harm!

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.
Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

NEW: Carol Loennig tells Nicoll Wallace on MSNOW that the DOJ intends to try and indict Letitia James a THIRD time.
The trouble with that is these multiple tries help James prove her vindictive and selective prosecution bid, and bolster a case to get the grand jury materials.

Our government is murdering people, not to protect our country, but to create cool videos and to try and effect regime change in Venezuela.
This is like Bush 2.0 but this time, the people in charge are much crazier and much, much dumber.
