Earlier today, on Deadline White House, a reporter (I think it was Mike Schmitt) said "Trump wants to go after Comey, James, others because he wants them to go through what he went through."

No. That is twisting facts. Trump committed ACTUAL CRIMES. He deserved to be indicted. These ppl do not.

It'd be a real shame if this photo of President Obama receiving his Nobel peace prize went viral today, for no particular reason

I had a quip about Anne Frank begun... but we are really well past that aren't we. Here hoping that all appropriate action and plans can be taken to keep ALL Americans safe from the quasi government thugs among us. HEY YOU IN POWERFUL OFFICES--WE NEED YOUR HELP ASAP.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Insane that the Supreme Court didn't immediately stop the tariffs and let this drag on for 6 months. Even the most sacrosanct, load bearing pillar of this country-the interests of capital-must submit to the whims of one old doofus. And we love to see it

I get why they eventually blocked out some nudity due to the arrest violence I assume. But now her face is gone too? WHY? who asked for this? She identifies herself in the video--asks others to alert her employer... She did not seem to want any anonymity.

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

First, you can’t fire altCDC and our #altgovs so we gonna be here. Pissing you all off by sharing the tea, giving real info and supporting our government employees.

The government is only as strong as its employees.
And you’ve pissed off a lot of super smart and super skilled employees.

Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50.

This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.
