This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

Listening to the Attorney General of our country sitting as a witness in an Oversight hearing screech, scream and call sitting Representatives “that woman,” and refer to a Representative who is questioning her as “she” is truly a testament to how low Trump has brought all our institutions.

Genuine checking-my-own-biases question:

Feel like elite-school prof op-eds are always “here’s why this far right winger is good for liberals” or “Trump actually is a king.”

Don’t look away:

Outside Oakland, CA, a peacefully protesting pastor was shot in the face with a tear gas projectile.

In Chicago, IL, a peacefully protesting pastor was also shot in the head with a projectile.

Resist. Before it's too late.

It's amazing how a single last-minute spite vote switch by a dying senator convinced many swing voters and most of the political press that everything Republicans had ever said or done about the ACA could be safely ignored in perpetuity
He’s just a young lad of 65 how could he possibly be expected to know anything about the Republican Party’s views on healthcare

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

So I promise you—we will remind you every day.

You say you stand with veterans—then how can you justify the cuts you’ve made at the VA?
