Sunday is a good time to re-share this: Alaska officials gave false info to American Samoans, telling them they can vote. (They can’t, due to a unique status.) Now, the state is threatening them with years in prison, part of GOP’s voting fraud panic. An important story that's worth your time.

Relabeling a war as an “excursion” and declaring it over at six weeks while the fighting continues is called propaganda.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they're going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can't think of anything that's more un-American."

OBAMA: A good policy that I'd like to see followed is that the president shouldn't have a bunch of side hustles that companies and foreign entities can invest in COLBERT: How much of that is just jealousy that you didn't think of selling sneakers?
