Incredible. Trump drags the reputation of a highly regarded economist, first Black woman to be a Fed gov, thru the mud claiming she committed mortgage fraud. But the documents his appointee to run Fannie & Freddie got for him & that he said showed fraud don’t actually say that.

We are not our grandparents.

I’ve spent my entire life watching Israel oppress and murder Palestinians.

But that carries no weight with me.
