It’s really interesting to see which government officials and members of Congress are comfortable publicly writing on social media that they’re fine with service members carrying out unlawful orders and abandoning The Constitution. Someone should start a list.

Merrick Garland had a chance to do this with Trump.
But Garland took a process-first, no-vision approach. He followed a set of bad rules often created by Republicans.
We need leaders now and in the next DOJ.

If Donald Trump doesn’t want to be called a Russian asset, perhaps he should stop acting like a Russian asset.

The Trump Admin's assault on working people continues.
They are now trying to restrict student loan assistance for many in critical professions, including nurses.
These Americans provide essential functions for all of us. This attack will make staffing shortages worse & harm everyone.

Full list of degrees not classed as ‘professional’ by Trump admin
Certain students may no longer receive the same loan for their studies as what counts as "professional" will determine how much they get.

I went shopping today and for the first time since Mango came on the scene people were friendly. Downright nice even. People smiling and saying thank you and excuse me. Chatting each other up in the checkout line. It seems that people are tired of being angry. A small dose of hope. #hopeisanaction

BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…
The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

I'm a little freaked out that I've been told I need spinal surgery. That's one of only two medical issues that I fear. That and anything to do with eyes. I'm usually very matter of fact and face the necessary calmly. Now I almost hyperventilated at the doctor's office on Thursday.
