I live and work in Stratford upon Avon, observing the human condition as I go. At the moment I have to say, I am not impressed.

Absolutely despicable. 
There seemingly is no limit to the depths of depravity the administration will go to cover for their propaganda machine. 

We need to arrest and prosecute the federal agent that murdered Renee Nicole Good. And we need trials for those involved.

Trump is a Russian asset.
Over the past year, President Trump has pushed NATO to make divisive changes. Now he is threatening to seize control of Greenland, which has heightened concerns that he will destroy the trans-Atlantic security alliance.

Here's what to know.
Trump’s Threats to Greenland Raise Serious Questions for NATO
The treaty that created NATO did not contemplate an attack by one ally on another. A seizure of Greenland by President Trump would test the endurance of the mutual-defense pact.

I am The Post’s ‘federal government whisperer.’ It’s been brutal.
One reporter’s effort to show how Trump was transforming government brought her 1,168 new sources — and nearly broke her.

Early this week (I think, I can’t keep track), ICE Nazis grabbed two teens out of a Target at which they both work. Both are citizens. It turns out that ICE threw one of the two teens out onto the road some blocks away. This is the video of this poor kid.
