Are we doing anything, guys?!?
Trump doesn't have a discreet bone in his body. He's telling us everything he plans to do to try to steal the election in November. We have to use that to our advantage and prepare accordingly.

Not dumb. Ingratiatingly terrified of losing his job. As all the cowardly Republicans are right now. All the quitting MN prosecutors are showing America what integrity looks like.
I found the dumbest most pathetic post on the internet today:

“I couldn’t imagine being the leader of a team where so many of the best players that are just so central to the mission decide they’ve got to walk away because they don’t want their integrity to be compromised,”.

This is the GOP. Destroy it, then say it sucks.

They’re going to keep lying until we get all the unpredicted files, including the follow the money files. People were paying for this trafficking ring- they were hemorrhaging money.

I’d say explain it like I’m five years old but I wouldn’t want a five year old to hear that.
Someone explain to me why the men’s names are redacted?

Well this explains a lot.
Wait! The public face of nationwide immigration enforcement, Gregory Bovino, said in a newly discovered email that his boss wasn’t the head of CBP. He reported to Corey Lewandowski instead.

He’s a political operative with zero law-enforcement background calling the shots on immigration enforcement.

MAGA and its enablers only know how to break things.

America, you need to wake up right now. You’re losing your democracy.
This is what Nicolás Maduro did in Venezuela. Nationalize voting, then clamp down on journalists and appoint only partisan judges. Becoming a dictator one step at a time. 🗽

Get physically involved. Go to indivisible.org and find things to do. Like being home? Write postcards to get Dems who don’t vote regularly off their keesters turnoutpac.org/postcards/
Volunteer at your local Dem office. Send money to a politician you like.
But do something while we still can.

Time to use all the tools in the box while we still can. The only good thing I can say about this regime is that they’re not trying to hide their authoritarian playbook. At all.
🚨 Pritzker: The monsters responsible for unleashing this havoc on American cities, whether they were firing at civilians in the streets or calling the shots from their cushy offices in Washington, need to be investigated and prosecuted.

are considering legislation that would make it easier to sell unpasteurized, raw milk. Research has shown that people who consume raw milk are 840 times more likely to experience an illness and 45 times more likely to be hospitalized than people who drink pasteurized milk.

We really need This Week to be run by the guy who started it. None of the other hosts can grill people like George can. None.
