“We believe it’s our duty to sound the alarm about this administration’s degradation of DoJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it,” according to an open letter signed by 282 former officials.

It will take years to rebuild our Justice Dept.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

It appears that NYC itself turned out more than the entire state of Noem's South Dakota.

How are you going to overturn all of this, Madame Secretary?

Surprise!

Trump appointee Bill Pulte threw ethics out the window so he could weaponize the Justice Department against Trump’s foes.

Exclusive: Trump official bypassed ethics rules in criminal referrals of Fed governor and other foes, sources say

The Trump appointee accusing the president’s political foes of mortgage fraud skipped over his agency’s inspector general when making criminal referrals, according to seven people familiar with the matter, bypassing rules meant to ensure that federal officials don’t abuse their power for partisan purposes.

Don't let anyone tell you tax cuts for the rich cost nothing.

The less revenue we collect, the more the deficit runs up.

The more the deficit we run up, the more Republicans will threaten Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security

Tax cuts for the rich are the real Ponzi scheme.

They Came Before Dawn

What happened in South Shore was not law enforcement. It was intimidation, disguised as justice.

1. Yesterday Jared Kushner partnered with the Saudis on the $55 billion purchase of Electronic Arts AND attended the White House meeting between Bibi and Trump as a foreign policy advisor

It's an insane conflict of interest

Jared Kushner’s double life

Kushner has resumed his role as a top Trump foreign policy advisor while expanding his business partnership with the Saudi government.

There's no reason to treat this president, validly elected or not, as legitimate. Not when he's having states whose politics he likes invade states with politics he doesn't.

This is a though provoking video on why racism is so bad in the US. The psychological wage of being white explains why so many poor white folks vote against their interests. I may pin this video.

Izzy is a fierce self-advocate & advocate for Medicaid. Living with autism, Medicaid gives him the care to thrive, go to school, and live his best life.
It is wrong for families like Izzy’s to have to fight for care, & wrong for Trump’s cuts to put kids at risk. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown
