God is begging you to send these National Guard troops home to be with their families. Stop ruining their lives so that Donald can cosplay fascism.

Judgment against Trump for $1,000,000 in legal fees to Hillary Clinton and others for a frivolous meritless lawsuit is upheld by appeals court. This should be a lesson to any person or business Trump threatens with a lawsuit. Fight the SOB and win. Never surrender to a tyrant. #ProudBlue

2016 happened. Russia did support Trump’s campaign. Good reporters were on it at the time. I wrote it up within the larger context of global oligarchy and neo-fascism in "Road to Unfreedom."
9 years ago,House Speaker Paul Ryan, and Speaker to be Kevin McCarthy had a recorded conversation in which McCarthy says, "There are two people that I think Putin pays, (Representative Dana) Rohrbacher and Trump. Swear to God."

Gov. Kathy Hochul justified a $1 billion natural gas project by appealing to affordability. But the main reason the state needs the energy is because data centers are hogging it.
