Donald Trump is a very ugly man. Inside and out. He's the ugliest leader America has ever had.

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Kamala Harris: "Here in Chicago I'm told the helicopters that were descending on an American city were Black Hawks. Do you know what Black Hawks were designed to do? War. So I think everyone can draw their conclusions just based on the facts."

Elizabeth Warren @warren.senate.gov · 8d

Trump’s nominee to be the Army’s lawyer is confused about the First Amendment.

Independent journalists must be free to report the facts without fear of retaliation.

If we're sending troops to war under false pretenses, Americans have a right to know.

Graphic with Senator Warren asking: Is it consistent with the First Amendment for DOD to revoke a reporter’s press credentials for publishing a story that’s critical of President Trump?

DoD official responds: Yes... If the basis was that the person published information that was not otherwise approved for release by the Department.

Senator Warren Responds: Whoa.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

📣 It is ALWAYS the Republicans! They are the masters of the party who create nothing but chaos, confusion and division!

When will Americans finally wake up and stop voting for them?

You can say one thing about Democrats’ underlying claims that you definitely can’t say about the Republican counterpart: They are telling the truth. www.thebulwark.com/p/republican...

The Republican Shutdown Argument is a Giant Lie

No, Democrats aren’t trying to fund health care for “illegal aliens.”
