Let me use MAGA logic & agree with them for a thought experiment.

The National Guard shooter is an Afghan national, so we must deport all Afghans & Muslims & stop immigration.

OK.

Trump's failed assassins were 2 white men. White men are the #1 domestic shooters in America.

So, deport all whites?

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Trump's crypto company promoted a coin called ‘Shit Piss Skin Can’ this week.

The name comes from one of the company's founders, who said you could sell “shit in a can, wrapped in piss, covered in human skin” for a billion dollars.

Jeffries: This is only going to end in one of two ways. Either Republicans are going to agree to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits before December 31st of this year, or the American people are going to throw Republicans out of office because of their failure to make life better.

"State Comptroller" is a weird name & most folks don't know what Walsh does. Take it from me, I've focused on NJ corruption for the last 6 yrs: He investigates waste (of our taxpayer $), fraud (corruption that also wastes our taxpayer $) and abuse (i.e., corporate nursing homes). The AG agrees.
This Thanksgiving, the NJ Senate is killing a gov’t watchdog that stops wasteful spending, giving politically powerful individuals broad powers to intimidate law enforcement fighting corruption & even letting them tap phones. Outrageous. 
 
I’ll be testifying against it on Mon.

I am thankful I didn't break my hip when I fell down the steps, and every day it's a little easier to get out of bed. I am thankful I could afford to replace my cane after someone stole it in the hospital waiting room. Grateful for Aleve and muscle relaxers!

Trump is gutting the bank regs set up after the ’08 Great Recession. The Fed governor in charge of bank regs is gutting regs and laying off 30% of staff. She weakened measures to detect possible failures, watered down bank supervision at the FDIC and gutted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
