I know the whole “every accusation is a confession” thing but it’s pretty clear this is the most elitist government that’s existed in decades. It’s just 12 billionaires in a group chat sharing banned Reddit memes

One reason this is true is that Americans are so ignorant of current affairs, both at home and abroad. We don't read widely nor think critically about what we've read. Ignorance is hurtling us toward our downfall.

We’ve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?

Could We End Corporate Money In Politics?

Backers of a referendum before Montana voters next year believe they’ve found a vulnerability on Citizen United

None of these young people meet Kegseth's fitness standards. They should be sure they can outrun their intended targets before they go public with their jihad.

Why don't you focus your attention on your own effed-up state and let Mainers decide their own representation?

Someone please tell me why politicians keep getting the Nobel Peace Prize while the angels among us, like Chef Andres, are ignored.

Tom Bowman has held his Pentagon press pass for 28 years. He says the Pentagon's new media policy makes it impossible to be a journalist, which means finding out what's really going on behind the scenes and not accepting wholesale what any government or administration says. n.pr/4q87Jwb

Insanity is seeing how badly the status quo has failed the nation and reelecting those politicians anyway.
We are desperate for new leaders.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm
