The Weaponization of the Justice Department

When I was sworn into the bars of Florida and Washington, D.C., I took an oath, a solemn promise to uphold the law, to act with integrity, and to never pursue frivolous claims or charges.

Are we on the brink of another catastrophic financial crisis? Quite possibly. In 2010, Maureen Tkacik combed through more than a dozen studies of the Great Recession, most of which read like the memoirs of people trying to make themselves feel less stupid.

There is irony left in our world. Congratulations to María Corina Machado of Venezuela for winning the Nobel Peace Prize. As the Trump regime is doing its best to start a war in the Caribbean Ms Machado is leading a resistance. She stands for the antithesis of Felon Trump - democracy over fascism.
