“His life is in danger,” Rep. Joaquin Castro said Tuesday about Juan Nicolás, the 2-month-old baby who was hospitalized with bronchitis overnight — and is being held at Dilley Family Detention Center, which reported a measles outbreak earlier this month.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

Good morning, coach. Took longer than I wanted but the “Woke Loves Me, Fish Fear Me” hat is live. Proceeds go to a rent-relief and eviction-prevention org in SE Minnesota, Hope At Home Fund.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Obama asked by Reggie Miller favorite moment in the 90's with Michael Jordan and Bulls?
"I always enjoyed watching us beat Indiana"
Also mentions the Reggie Miller push off.

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

If someone actually believed this shit they should either begin collecting munitions to blow bridges or end it all.

This may be the most dangerous development of all. It will give Trump fake legal pretext to reject Nov election results. American democracy has like 9 months left.

These are called honor killings 👍
A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump.

A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.

Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

either we’re bringing back nuclear testing or we’re pulling a sicario from the movie, “Don’t Do Sicario”

or it could mean nothing!
