AND IMPEACH AND REMOVE. We need to clamor for that even if the votes aren't there—yet.

Love how the president of the United States, who historically couldn’t manipulate the stock market, is tanking our economy and whatever retirement funds millions of us have. As always, thank you John Roberts and Mitch McConnell.

How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

I had the opportunity to review the work experience and skills of numerous people who were laid off or fired from public health jobs by Donald Trump. I want every taxpayer to know that the US has lost an immeasurable number of the smartest, most experienced, and hardworking people on the planet.

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

A friend of mine, who had been raised in a polygamist Mormon spinoff sect, and I once commiserated about the popularity of MLMs in both the cults of our respective upbringings.

After the Paramount-Skydance merger, CBS will now officially become state media for the Trump regime. Brendan Carr, Chairman of the FCC, said the government is placing “an ombudsman in place for two years,” which he described as “basically a bias monitor that will report directly to the President.”
