New in PN: Trump is the insurrection

"It’s a wild assault on state sovereignty, bringing us ever closer to the brink of civil war. This is despotism, & whatever chaos & violence is about to be unleashed lies squarely on the robed shoulders of Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, & Barrett."

Trump is the insurrection

And the Supreme Court's conservatives are his shock troops.

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Q: How did the White House decide it was appropriate for Jared Kushner to be working on matters that involve Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia -- 3 countries combined that have given him more than $2.5b

LEAVITT: It's frankly despicable that you're trying to suggest that it's inappropriate

Health care premiums going up, billionaire taxes going down

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 10d

Here's where we are:

Republicans have shut down the government.

Why?

They won't negotiate. They want to pass a bill that will allow the Trump administration to throw 15 million Americans off their health care & double premiums for 20 million Americans.

We won't let them.

So, Tom Homan, the Border Czar was caught by undercover FBI agents, accepting $50,000 for political favors? Interesting. Ok, ICE, when are you dragging him off to one of your lovely detention centers? Isn't the whole point of this to, you know, round up the criminals?

This is quite the post.

1. He unambiguously directs his AG to go after those who investigated him for his crimes

2. He admits being influenced by online chatter

He is mob bossing out in the open, because he knows he has corrupted every federal law enforcement agency into submission.
