VAN HOLLEN: An individual who was pardoned by Trump went on to molest 2 children, & he tried to buy their silence by saying he would give them funds from your slush fund. Can you commit to not making that person eligible for a payout? BLANCHE: You're obviously lying V: I am reporting what he said

NEW EPISODE: An anti-voting group recently released its playbook to severely restrict mail-in voting, eliminate same-day voter registration, and impose rigorous ID requirements. I break down the provisions that will make it harder for you to cast a ballot. youtu.be/3y0OtyVuc2Y?...

You only think that this is the “saddest time in American history” because it’s finally affecting you. I think Black, Brown, and Indigenous people might disagree. But I’m happy that you’re taking notice!

The few hundred years of genocide and slavery weren’t so good either

The term is FUBAR. There is no road back. The USA is a house divided. And to add insult to injury the insurrectionists that were pardoned might just get a windfall payment for their actions. AND, and no one stops the insanity. No one.

Yeah it’s bad, but as slavery and trail of tears were legal in their time I can’t call it the absolute worst🤷🏻‍♀️

This! Yes, it's a hard time for the USA, but it seems, it's mainly seen as a catastrophe because this time white people and especially white men are suffering, too. I'm convinced that this collective denial of the genocide on the First Nations and slavery had a big part in why the USA fails now.

“Saddest” is doing a lot of work. This country survived enslavement, Indigenous dispossession, civil war, Jim Crow, internment, COINTELPRO, and open apartheid. What makes this moment uniquely dangerous is that the anti-democratic project is being televised, normalized, and cheered.

This is nowhere close to being the saddest time in American history. Remember slavery and all its horrors? Remember the Trail of Tears? So many other times were infinitely sadder. Though maybe you meant the saddest for white people?

Not to get picky but I’d say the US Civil War was a pretty bad time. Probably worse than now. And if you’re African American then the last 250 years have been a been a pretty bad time, particularly the first 200. And if you’re an Indigenous person then it’s 250’years for sure. First 150 esp.

I mean - white people could always have stood up and said, absolutely not. at like, any time. or white men. or or - we let this happen. b/c it served us. this has been going on for so many communities THE WHOLE TIME.

I mostly agree, with one caveat: Nothing “went wrong” in 2015 as though this arrived from nowhere. Trump didn’t invent xenophobia, racial resentment, authoritarian longing, or political grievance. He marketed them. Those voters were already here.

America has a fatal birth defect which ensured that—eventually—we were always doomed to end up right here. Racism. At nearly every inflection point, where America could have become the nation it purported to be, racism prevented it from doing so. Voters could save us. But won't. Because racism.

This is easily the saddest time in American history. The absolute worst people are systematically destroying the country, and our system is completely failing to stop them.

They’re going to compensate people for breaking the law and lying for the president. Will there be more coverage than hunter’s laptop?

The guys with the “don’t tread on me” stickers on their cars are really just looking for government hand outs.

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

This should be the headline story on every news publication and telecast including local news every day for several days. But it won’t. It will be shrugged off like so much else by so much of media. The most corrupt thing that has ever come out of the US govt.

Two decades of one-party GOP rule in Florida leads to collapse of the state's primary and secondary education system. But that's okay. Because educated voters don't vote Republican. www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/f...

HUGE NEWS: ICE’s courthouse arrests have been STAYED by a New York district judge. That means that ICE will have to stop arresting our immigrant neighbors on the spot when they show up to court at places like 26 Federal Plaza, 290 Broadway, and 201 Varick. (1/2)

Apparently you believe that racism and misogyny can be overridden with reason? This is why we are in the mess we are in.. white people constantly give other white people the benefit of the doubt 🙄

It’s pretty simple really, what part of racism and misogyny do you not understand?

I will never understand why Jan 6, 2021 wasn't sufficient for people to vote for Kamala Harris. Never.

I’m at Oakhill Correctional Institution today, celebrating the hard work and perseverance that these men put into earning their degrees from UW-Green Bay to change their lives and their futures for the better. Grateful to have the opportunity to celebrate them and their good work.

What happened on the National Mall — a day-long prayer rally billed as a “rededication of our country as One Nation under God” — was a constitutional abomination in layers of blasphemy and demagoguery. It was grotesque. It was appalling and profoundly un-American. open.substack.com/pub/stevesch...

When did INSIDER TRADING become legal? It used to be a Federal crime with up to 25 years in prison. Mike Johnson said he needs to trade on inside information to pay his bills, like every other person in Congress. Law breaking Speaker of the House, third in line for the Presidency. CREEPY.

We must squash hate wherever it exists! Hate = violence!

My thoughts are with the loved ones of the victims and the entire Islamic Center of San Diego community.

Every American deserves to feel safe at their place of worship. We must end this violence.

More money for the Russians, so they can go on killing Ukrainian civilians.

This may make me sound old as dust or too young depending on your perspective, but whatever: we are all so damn lucky that Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong recorded music together so frequently, like how insanely fantastic is that power combo? What a generous gift.

Dear Decent Americans, please listen up. IF YOUR VOTES WERE NOT IMPORTANT , YOUR PRESENT GOVERNMENT WOULD NOT TRY TO STOP YOU FROM VOTING. Please tell your non voting friends and family that it is their civic duty to vote, people have died so that you could all vote.
