CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it. Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

I am always surprised at how little US politicians sell out for. For a few million in bribes, they are giving billions in favors from taxpayers. We must stop the incredible rate of return of venture politics if we hope to survive.

Tom Emmer is a disgrace to himself and the State of Minnesota as he wipes his ass with the Constitution in front of the entire nation.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:

Maduro is still in place, but a pro-democracy movement is transforming the beleaguered country.

Why isn't the House in session? There are now the votes to release the Epstein files. Republican leaders are protecting their rape-y leader.

You know who is really happy about the current state of US affairs? Billionaires and autocrats. A weak US makes the country easy for corrupt billionaires to plunder. A weak US can not meaningfully support democracy anywhere in the world, making life easy for autocrats.

The Supreme Court is a completely failed institution: - Blatantly corrupt - Incompetent judges - Unapologetically political - Bad law - No meaningful oversight or accountability We have to start over to fix this mess.

Nothing meaningful will be accomplished in this country until Republicans are out of office. We will continue to be forced to pay taxes the entire time though. The lives of millions are on hold because of the power held by an evil few. Laws won't save us, they mean nothing unless enforced.

People ask me all the time what they can do and broadly: 1) Organize and join protests 2) Support media that isn't backing down 3) Give to ACLU and others taking on the illegal actions in court 4) Give to food banks :(

The US Government is shut down because we elected a petulant child as president who has neither the ability or inclination to compromise due to his ego and ignorance.

Maybe our approach to vaccines should be: "I've been a nurse for 16 years. I'm not supposed to tell you this this one little trick that almost no one knows about that will protect your kids from a spreading secret disease the government won't talk about. It is an all-natural formula called MMR"

Trump trying to distract from the latest Epstein files release has authorized regime ICE troops to "use full force" (i.e. harm or murder) US citizens "if necessary".

Awarding Medals of Honor for killing babies, children and unarmed pregnant women. Seems to be about spot on for the cruelty of the Republican regime. So gross. All of it.

Believe the Epstein victims who have credibly accused rich and powerful guys of raping children. It is a national disgrace that there is any reluctance to prosecute any of these alleged criminals.

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

Republicans only support free speech when it refers to their hate speech. They are silencing critics like Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, NYT and WSJ with regulatory threats and frivolous lawsuits.
