MY LATEST: The “60 Minutes” we have known is dead. The fearless program that many of us grew up with was strangled by corporate titans seeking favor with the Trump White House.

This spring, @repdangoldman.bsky.social went to work and “saw a dozen masked ICE agents in the lobby” of his office building.
He has since turned that office into the headquarters for a legal operation that has secured the release of nine ICE detainees.

Yet another great day to wish our fellow Americans a Happy We Re-elected a Criminal Rather Than A Lady Day
Five years ago today, Trump summoned a mob to Washington, DC for a “protest” on Jan. 6, 2021, tweeting: “Be there, will be wild!”

Gentile white Americans simply voted the same way they have since the Voting Rights Act: for the GOP.
January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

Dan Goldman was lead counsel for House Dems during the 1st impeachment inquiry, introduced a bill to place a 20% excise tax on loans & lines of credit backed by capital assets, has secured 160 million to improve NYC’s climate resiliency, & is a great “fighter” & messenger. This is a waste of time.
