Why does Trump think he's going to get away with jacking up health premiums on families by 75% in order to fund a giant tax cut for his billionaire pals? Because he thinks his campaign to repress free speech will keep us quiet. But he's wrong. We are fighting back.

The Trump administration pardons hundreds of cop beaters who wanted to overturn an election and then it wants to stage this sort of arrest of a former the FBI director investigated Trump’s campaign. Sums it up. No law, no order.

This move is laughable if it were not so dangerous, as these value-free plutocrats eat up media the same way they have eaten all else in order to rid themselves of critics and those they target as a nuisance. But there is a fatal flaw in their plan: People like Karen win history every single time.

In a normal America, we can all agree that a major threat to our national security is the radicalization of young men and conspiracies that drive them to violence. But that would mean acknowledging the threats and also talking about right-wing extremism, which is the #1 domestic terror threat.
