Forget naming the ballroom after Obama. Just start referring to the ballroom as the "Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom" in all of the Democrat discussions and press briefings...

A TPM Reader told me to look at the Department of Labor page on Facebook for something called Project Firewall. It's basically their name for cracking down on highly skilled foreigners on H-1B visas. Here's the Dept's description here. www.dol.gov/newsroom/rel...

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.
The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.
We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

Trump said you can measure a presidency by the wars you avoid, and for once he was right. Saturday's Iran bombing was the exclamation point on his abject failure

A mad king’s pointless war is where Donald Trump was always heading
There is no legal or moral justification for Donald Trump's bomb strike on Iran, just the ego of an increasingly delusional president.

Trump says he cares abt land seizures; but he took land, via eminent domain.
He claims to care abt human rights in South Africa, but just gave a speech to Saudis on how the U.S. won’t "lecture" other countries abt human rights anymore.
If hypocrisy were hair, he'd be a Wookie.
