We need a countdown clock “Number of Days Since Noem Lied” which is reset to 0 after claiming to have “arrested the girlfriend of the founder of Antifa.”🙄 Noem said “Antifa” is as bad as Hamas or ISIS. Trump Cabal is using terrorist language to describe peaceful protesters. youtu.be/9rtewxEKkRI?...

Schatz: They’re stopping wind and solar because this guy has some very strange ideas about the energy mix. And it’s consistent with the rest of his political and economic philosophy — if there’s less of everything, it gives him more authority to dole out favors

Nine years in a row, Chicago’s been named the best city to visit — apparently tourists just love dodging bullets between deep-dish pizza stops.

For no reason or provocation Cook county Sheriff Dept attacked and provoked people who were exactly where they were told to be all day long. As usual, the cops are the provocateurs.

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit.

This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit

A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

No one who pardoned J/6 protesters that beat cops, etc. should ever be forgiven. This was treason and he’s doing worse today.

$47. And that’s if the government isn’t lying about the interest rate. Plus, they will have to prove she intentionally schemed to swindle $47 from the bank - as opposed to just not knowing the difference between a second home and an investment property. Good luck, Lindsay.

The grand jury indictment against New York AG Letitia James accuses her of receiving a lower-cost loan on a home she purchased.

James saved only about $50 a month with lower interest rate, the indictment alleges.

After AIPAC spent millions to defeat her, Cori Bush is running again.

Her voice led movements to stop evictions and demand peace.

Now she’s running again because our future deserves leaders with courage.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

Two dozen kids in frog costumes and fairy wings and chicken suits. This is what Tr*mp is claiming = an insurrection at the ICE facility Portland. The regime are the worst kind of pathetic liars. Portland police, local and state govt all say: nothing is going on here. The only violence is from ICE.
