I grew up with this asshole's statue:

General Sheridan when offered a hand in friendship by a Native American who said in broken English "Me good Indian" replied so infamously, "The only good Indian I ever met was a dead Indian."

So here is General Sheridan's statue in a park named for him in Greenwich Village. General Sheridan when offered a hand in friendship by a Indian who said in broken English "me good Indian" replied so infamously, "The only good Indian I ever met was a dead Indian". Under the leadership of President Grant those peoples that Sheridan did not exterminate were forced onto the worst land that there was no use for and called them reservations. In the 20th century by any other name would be called concentration camps.

Former congressman George Santos was sentenced to more than seven years in prison for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, and NOT lying about where he went to university!

Trump on George Santos: "We have a young congressman that's right now in jail for lying about where he went to college and other things. It was frankly not good. It was pretty bad. But it was nothing compared to Blumenthal."

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

Sen. PADILLA: This Justice Department fired a 15-year career prosecutor who put away sex traffickers and transnational terrorists. She was marched out of her office. Why? Because she had the audacity to remind Border Patrol that it should follow court orders.

CUOMO: Why would you put yourself in a situation where you get involved with crypto and have the UAE as one of your big customers, and then they get AI clearance for chips from the US government? You know how that's gonna look

Donald Trump is calling for the jailing of his political opponents in Chicago. His DOJ lackeys have already indicted a NJ Congresswoman for conducting ICE facility oversight and James Comey. John Bolton's house was raided.

We must treat these latest threats seriously and all stand up against them.

The subhed here is a master class in corporate journalism rewarding malfeasance via semantics

Bondi didn't valiantly fend something off, she refused to answer legitimate questions before Congress because the answers would be horrifying and politically inconvenient

And that's a profile in cowardice
