Fitzgerald retired two years ago and was enjoying spending more time with his family while doing some teaching. He’s entering the national spotlight to be Comey’s attorney out of longtime loyalty to a dear friend, those close to him say.

Interesting that Trump would announce he's sending troops to Portland with authorization for "Full Force" days before the nation's top military brass have been called to Quantico. A test to see who will oppose unlawful orders? Strikes on Venezuelan boats have already met resistance....

You know what treason looks like? A convicted criminal using the White House to send troops as his personal army to peaceful American cities that he hates in order to instill fear and create chaos.

He wants to dictate what the press can say.
What a university can teach.
Whom a company can employ.
And to whom the law shall apply.

He who wants all this is not a president,
But strives to be a dictator.
And all who succumb are not citizens,
But subjects.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

The press is often referred to as the 4th Estate and an additional check on protecting American democratic values. Limitations on the media's ability to report is a direct violation of the 1st Amendment. Limiting what the media can report is a fundamental element of authoritarianism.

"As the most recent U.S. ambassador to Orban’s Hungary, I’m often asked if the Trump administration’s tactics feel familiar. The short answer is yes. But the more important—and unsettling—question is this: Does the way Americans are responding feel familiar, too?"

Yes, the King files are a desperate distraction, but also, this:

"The King files were compiled by the FBI in projects associated with its COINTELPRO...These projects illegally surveilled and worked to discredit Americans that FBI director J. Edgar Hoover thought were a danger to American society."
