I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.

The Trump administration will begin garnishing wages of student loan borrowers in default starting in January, the Education Department told CNN. https://cnn.it/3MSjMyz

I can’t get over the 36%.
20 State AGs have sued Russell Vought for trying to starve the CFPB of funding.

Since 2011, the CFPB has returned over $20B to consumers.

Without the Bureau, financial predators and scammers will have an easier time picking your pocket.

I do hope someone is doing all the formatting work to share

“Clinton is in the Epstein files!”

Great. Next time I come across a Clinton rally, someone wearing a Clinton hat, or flying a Clinton flag on their truck, I’ll be sure to let them know.

The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.

Not the punishment part (misunderstands the virulent racism of the North -i live here and know it well) but inadequate Reconstruction , absolutely.

Not an admirer but good for him. Chapeau

From your mouth to God’s ear. Perhaps Russia or Saudi

So much fear. Many people will speak privately when silent in public. Lots of reasons, it’s not irrational.

Being an incorrigible skirt-chaser even when married and possible low-grade sexual harasser? Bad! Not the same as being a pedophile!

Being close with industry lobbyists? Bad! Not the same as taking bribes!

The flattening of grey areas with outright evil is unironically part of why we got Trump.
DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

Remarkable how ignorant of the Constitution these people are. I used to think it was defiance.

Thanks! Lovely cat

Happy to hear what you’ve to stay

There must be some anti-Trump anti-capitalist thing we can do with these. Hurl them of course but I think there must be a better idea

At least. She’s horrible

We are all that someone. It’s hard to know what to do, but do what you can.

I’d prefer it. Most fantasy is awfully heteronormative.

Do you know the song “All you Fascists Gonna Lose?It’s very heartening. Right up there with Linton Kwesi Johnson

A word from the guy this Administration has thrown out as red meat.

FYI, Dems also don't GAF what happens to Bill Clinton. If he's a pedophile, lock him up with the rest.

If he isn't, and he knew, as this statement suggests, he needs to start talking.

A day late but it's time to come clean.
CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.
