Europe is the last major outpost for a free and democratic world. Let's get USA off the authoritarian cleptocrazy track.
SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know

Speaking publicly for the first time in an interview, Sophie Dennison-Gibby said shortly after she plucked peeling liner from the Reflecting Pool’s water, an officer approached: “I wish you hadn’t done that. Now I’m going to arrest you.”

This will be needed for the American people to regain freedom. You should not be able to buy policies.

Don't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.
The World Crossed a Major Solar Milestone. No One Noticed
The next phase of the boom may reveal a shift in who is gaining access to the technology.

The scary part is that journalism does not matter anymore. As a true dictator, Trump has managed to make the free press irrelevant. Actually, one of the few things he is doing like a pro. Other autocrats need 10 years to achieve a position where full-blown corruption is accepted.

Reporter: Mr. President, this is at least the 5th time you’ve called off airstrikes against Iran since April. Why should it be any different? Trump: Well, you don’t know. I don’t know. I think we’re maybe going to get something, but I want to give them every last chance before decapitation.
Remember Trump's disastrous Great American State Fair? He's now asking Congress for an additional $10M to reimburse costs for his July 4th "Freedom 250" flop. That's on top of the $100M+ in taxpayer funds that's already been funneled into his MAGA party planning committee.

The tricky part for a future Dem Admin is going to be finding a way to divest the US govt from these companies without tanking their stock price & hurting them over the long term. What Trump is doing is a fundamental tenet of communism while he distracts by claiming Dems are.
What a surprise. The “peace deal negotiations” Trump talked about yesterday and Republicans saying on Fox that something is “very close” was just more blather and drivel.
Hey, get in line behind *millions* of people, including Native Americans driven from their land and slaughtered, kidnapped Africans who were enslaved and lynched, women treated like property, LGBTQ people demeaned and treated like they didn’t matter, you crybaby, self-indulgent loser.

This is insane. If Joe Biden had done this, Republicans would have a complete meltdown for 4 years.
It's interesting how they literally tell us what they do.
"With his Middle East crisis spiraling out of control and popularity in the sewer, Trump is keeping his eye on the prize. 'Almost every night...Trump calls for an update. Trump asks which companies and donors have cut checks and which haven’t, and for how much.'” www.thebulwark.com/p/a-portrait...

Meanwhile we’re cutting kids’ cancer research, millions have lost nutritional assistance, millions more have been kicked off of Medicaid, and Medicare part D subsidies are gone, too. WHO THE HELL STILL VOTES FOR THIS?
