Gutless red-state governors are bending over backwards to do Trump’s bidding – and they’re taking down democracy with them.

California is fighting back! VOTE Yes on Prop 50! #YesOnProp50

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

I’m Gen X. So as a kid, my summers meant getting shoved out of the house. Playing outside until dark. We swam, scraped our knees, fought, made up, and met girls. You had to make friends in the flesh. No choice.

I have a lot more to say, so check my video write-up.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."
