Donald Trump isn’t an authoritarian. He’s a mobster or, more accurately, he is emulating the mobsters he interacted with in New York. He is using the power of the federal government to extort, pressure and coerce institutions and individuals to do what he wants. It’s governance by threat.

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.

This is a lie. It’s basically a dedicated dormitory at an existing US base for training Qatari pilots. We do it for every country we sell military hardware to.

Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noam, Mumbles Homan will all face trial when this is over. If they think they will all get away with it, they are sadly mistaken.

#PamBondi:
After #Nixon left office, his #AG #JohnMitchell was convicted of crimes relating to the reelection. He was imprisoned and disbarred. Nixon never got in trouble.

You work for a 34 x felon who never spent a day in jail. Ever wonder what’s going to happen you?
