Retired old guy worried about losing our democracy. Overturn Citizens United. Tax the churches. Get rid of the electoral college. Ending a pregnancy is a woman’s choice.

What a disgrace. Volodymyr Zelensky is a heroic defender of democracy. The Trump regime is a poisonous blight on our nation’s history.
Zelensky lands in Miami. Not a single US official is on hand to greet him. In the language of diplomacy this send an unequivocal message of coldness and hostility. Compare it with the lavish pomp and red carpet shown to Putin when he landed in Alaska a few weeks ago.

The tiny nation of Palau, where two seasons of Survivor were filmed, has agreed to take 75 migrants for $7.5 million. They have not been charged with crimes and will be put to work filling labor shortages. Now you really are on Survivor.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

And detainees are held for much long periods of time than needed so that these companies can charge more and make billions extra. It’s state sanctioned human trafficking.

None of this would be happening if Republicans had held Trump accountable after his January 6 insurrection.

Remember that.

Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:

Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

She chose to stand in front of these prisoners because she (or someone involved in the production of the propaganda video she was shooting) thought they looked more dangerous than the non-criminals DHS sent to CECOT.

It’s all a cruel, grotesque show

But real people suffer

On our dime.
From 60 Minutes bootleg video on CECOT (prison in El Salvador) these men behind Noem weren’t “terrorists” removed from our country as she said. The men pictured are Salvadoran gang members who were not in the U.S.

3% of Venezuelans sent there were criminals. Almost all were sexually assaulted.

Hours before 60 Minutes was set to air a story on deportees who were sent by the Trump administration to prison in El Salvador, describing “brutal and torturous conditions,” 60 Minutes announced that it has pulled the segment and will air it in the future.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

The cost of Trump's White House ballroom has doubled over the past five months:

In late July, the White House said the vanity project would cost $200 million. Now, it's $400 million.
