The prosecution of Tish James is the product of a broken system that allows lawless billionaires to rule alongside corrupt politicians.

It’s as much a story of New York City as Washington, D.C.

But it's here in New York where a new era of politics will be born.

There is no leader of Antifa.
There is no girlfriend of the leader of Antifa.

They are creating imaginary people so they can justify going after real people.

Good morning resisters 🌅🎃
Already the Republicans are painting the No Kings protests an ANTIFA event , they are calling it a hate Amercia event. But the truth be told it's an I love my Amercia event. It's a protest that says we reject your fascism and want our country back.

Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"

Stephen Miller is a weak lying douchebag Nat-C authoritarian who despises the US Constitution, and his dangerous statement that a POTUS has “plenary authority” tells any constitutionally-bound American he is just that. Our Constitution clearly defines the powers of the President.

Federal employees across the government are now receiving layoff notices, a devastating outcome of Trump’s political games. It’s outrageous that he would use people’s livelihoods as pawns to “score political points”.
