An incredibly bleak night for democracy. One of the nation's top journalists was fired for standing up for journalism. Then SCOTUS decided: Hey, it's OK, Alabama. Be racist as you want to be. We won't stop your efforts to disenfranchise people. November's a start but it's going to be just the start

more than a year ago I said Ken Paxton would beat Cornyn badly in the GOP run-off and that Mike Duggan couldn't win Michigan as an Independent and would end up dropping out. both came true this past week. just basic analysis of voters and environment. something media misses often.

This is criminal insider trading. Full stop.

Trump building a UFC stadium at the White House, painting the reflecting pool blue, and erecting a billion dollar ballroom while Americans are struggling to pay for groceries, health care, and gas is exactly what you’d expect for a rich old white guy who’s out of touch with reality.

The treatment of detainees inside Delaney Hall is appalling. Lack of medical care. Insufficient and sometimes infested food. Overflowing sewage, overcrowding, no outdoor time, and blatant retaliation.

The Lebanese Health Ministry reports that Israeli attacks have killed 3,269 people since March 2.
