Hundreds of people who were once detained at "Alligator Alcatraz" have disappeared.

Lawyers and family members have been unable to reach them.

It’s as if they never existed.

What did the government do to them?

ICYMI — Trump lied that Chicago had “4000” murders, when it’s projected to have 380 this year (way down from last year)

If it’s so bad there why does he have to keep lying about it?

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

DOJ’s indictments against Trump were built on months of investigation and pages of hard evidence.

Trump’s new indictments against Comey and Tish James? Six pages. Contrived counts. No case.

Justice must come from the facts and the evidence — not Trump’s feelings.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Shrub was “elected” by the corrupt SCOTUS when VP Al Gore should have been. We would not be in this horrible place now, if so.

Oh, looky, Prez. Shrub seems to be concerned after being interrupted in his reading of a children’s book aloud! 😡

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

The Trump administration is using our military to silence dissent and crush opposition.

We won't be silenced - we'll keep protesting and fighting for our rights!
