The Republican chairs of both the House and Senate Armed Services committees signed a letter yesterday stating that they requested specific info many weeks ago on these strikes and the WH & Pentagon have refused to provide it. If the story is fake news, then turn everything over.

SCOTUS’s awful 2010 Citizens United decision defined corporations as "people", with 1A Speech protection like the rest of us. Before, it was illegal for corps & unions to use their general funds as political donations. Here's a possible solution.

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

🚨I think it’s important to remember that the guy now verbally abusing female reporters and calling them “stupid “ among other names, when they ask perfectly valid questions, is the same guy who asked his advisors if they could “ look into “ human injections of disinfectant. 😳

Reporter: You have made so clear how you want to keep drugs out of the US—
Trump: Right
Reporter: Can you explain why you would pardon a notorious drug trafficker?
Trump: If somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president

No offense to any of you who want to talk about this, but enough: It's not going anywhere. This is the system in which you must win. Wishcasting won't solve it.
The winner-take-all nature of the electoral college is ridiculous. The sensible answer is a proportional distribution of electoral votes based on a candidate’s votes in that state, but that is essentially the same as direct vote so why have an electoral college?
