In this clip Leavitt also complains that "67% of all of the injunctions in this century have come against which President? Donald J. Trump."
Someone should explain selection to her
LEAVITT: This judge is a Democrat activist. He was appointed by Barack Obama.

NBC: He was originally appointed by George W Bush.

The ol "I can't be misogynist because I employ women" defense. The Nazis employed women too, rubes. If they buy into the status quo of patriarchy (and antisemitic, anti-queer, ableist ideals) they're good to go.

A rare statement from Justice Roberts in response to Trump's post this morning:

“For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”

NEW: On paper, Salvador Cavazos earns less than $300,000 to run Valere Public Schools, a small Texas charter network. But taxpayers likely aren’t aware that in reality, his total pay makes him one of the country’s highest-earning superintendents.

In football we tell our guys "go find work." If you're not blocking or covering someone, go find something to do to help. We have Democratic senators in 25 states who could go and make local news. Go talk to your constituents. Don't sit and wait for messaging. Just go tell people. Go find work.

FUN FACTS: If the federal gov't –
> Fired all its civilian employees, it'd cut the deficit by an est. $271B.
> Collected all taxes it's owed, it'd cut the deficit by an est. $711B.

So why is Elon focused on firing people rather than on tax cheats?

Measles outbreak among the unvaccinated communities of west Texas?

It’s a highly contagious virus.

What did they expect? No help from the Republican Administration can be expected. They just confirmed a vaccine denier as Secretary of DHHS. Sad for the children who may not survive. No surprise.

More money would not have won us the game. We could have doubled what was spent, and I'm confident the results would have still seen a similar number of independent voters voting for Trump and a similar number of Democrats...not voting at all. Sadly.

This is one of those things that lies at the heart of the contradiction that is modern America

We want to go back to when we were a manufacturing powerhouse

But none of us would want to live in the America that is a manufacturing powerhouse

I know because I'm from a place it poisoned
It's not just fdr. One of the things the epa did not long after it was formed was document the nation's pollution via photography. That can seem frivolous, but generations of Americans have no idea why the EPA was necessary. This broke a million views when we published it in 2017
This is what America looked like before the EPA cleaned it up

This is sick.
5 people are being charged in the torture and murder of Sam Nordquist. It’s horrific what they did to him.

This is on Republicans. Hate speech does this. No one deserves this.
