Schiff on the SAVE Act: "Jonathan, what you've just asked is essentially, Republicans have created distrust in the elections by making claims of nonexistent fraud, and shouldn't we use the distrust they've created in order to enact a voter suppression law?"

Booooohhh...

🇲🇩🇺🇦 Moldovan President Sandu said that she is against her nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, because there are more worthy candidates - Ukrainian prisoners of war. Sandu emphasized that it is Ukrainians who are truly sacrificing themselves for the sake of peace and security in Ukraine and the EU.

Incredible work here by local Chicago journalists investigating two of the especially violent DHS agents terrorizing people in Chicago & MSP. Using body cam footage, after-action reports, social media videos & much more, @unraveledpress.com tells a jarring and must read story:

Wat een uitstekende journalistiek. Drie keer hetzelfde antwoord. CDA, D66 en VVD zeggen alledrie - op de vraag waarom inkomen wordt belast en niet vermogen - dat je nou eenmaal niet alles geregeld krijgt zoals je dat zou willen. Iemand liegt.

10 years of this and most of the mainstream media have learned nothing about Trump.

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

Option 1: Mike Johnson doesn't understand how counting works. Option 2: Mike Johnson is a POS who's happy to use the "election was rigged" lie to justify his party's longtime policy goal of rigging elections.

Democratic forces in the USA, be warned!

I was a White House ethics lawyer. I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules. I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

Meeting in solidarity with Haitians in Springfield, Ohio now - over 600 people and still growing.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is two or three days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

“Intensive care nurses immediately doubted the word of federal immigration officers when they arrived at a Minneapolis hospital with a Mexican immigrant who had broken bones in his face and skull.” apnews.com/article/immi...

Seems like it should be a bigger story that a witness swore under penalty of perjury that Donald Trump threatened a young girl, saying she would “disappear like another 12-year-old.” The media is basically ignoring that and, if the witness is lying, why isn't the DOJ prosecuting them?
