People are joking about the war on Ikea but what I'm REALLY worried about is how the prices for prescription medication, already too damn high, are about to spike and you can bet insurers don't want to pick up that tab.

The overall takeaway from the Epstein survivors’ press conference is that they are united and are no longer going to allow rich and powerful men to victimize, silence and intimidate them.

Netanyahu is going to prolong the wars and chaos in his country to avoid criminal prosecution for all his crimes.
Rep. Mark Pocan on my show Wednesday made it clear that Benjamin Netanyahu “is a war criminal. There's a warrant for his arrest by the International Court and he should be treated as such." He’s 100% correct!

A long time ago I spoke an attorney in the Dakota Access Pipeline case, and the GOP has been trying since at least then to implicate EVERYONE in a protest based on the behavior of one person under RICO. It's how they intend to jail dissidents. Keep an eye on this shit.
