Don Lemon "ransacked a church". Good and Pretti were "violent domestic terrorists", and somehow Obama joined forces with Cuba, China and Italy to rig the 2020 election.
If only they treated actual problems with the gravity and seriousness they do with their lies...

Even elected Republicans are starting to wake up to the reality that they cannot outrun the will of the people.
Your voice matters, well before Election Day, in more ways than you may realize.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.

America needs an Attorney General who:
1) will read a law,
2) understand what she is reading, and
3) comply with it.
That doesn't seem like too much to ask, does it?

“Quiet! Quiet, piggy,” Trump snapped at a female reporter on Monday when asked about the Epstein files.
His rage, wrapped in characteristic cruelty after failing to convince even his most loyal House supporters not to back the bill, was clear; this was not a man at peace.

Trump and Johnson are still seething over the Epstein vote
"Quiet piggy!" is not the response of a man at peace with defeat.

Happy birthday to the only two women with elements named after them on the periodic table: #MarieCurie & #LiseMeitner.
