To be clear, fascist republicans didn’t confirm an Attorney General, they pushed through a deranged pedophile convicted felon’s personal crook lawyer who has been covering up his crimes into the office of Attorney General at 4:30 am in the cover of darkness whilst most Americans slept.

Donald Trump telling people not to “feel sorry” for a sick Joe Biden because he’s “vicious” isn't strength—it's pure cruelty. Nothing says "Christian values" quite like Donald Trump mocking an ill man and demanding an end to basic empathy. Absolute trash behavior from a small, weak man.

I don’t agree with all Abdul El-Sayed’s views, but GOP “othering” is a disgrace. He was born in US, educated at Bloomfield Hills Andover, where he captained football team; Univ of Mich; Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar; Columbia, where he earned an MD. Debate his views, not whether he’s a “real” American.

When the banks needed help, they called it “stabilizing the economy.” When airlines needed help, they called it “protecting jobs.” When corporations got tax breaks, they called it “pro-growth.” When working people need health care? “SOCIALISM.”

Blanche was confirmed as AG. Just a reminder: The last time a president appointed an attorney he had personal ties to, was when Nixon appointed his law partner and campaign manager John Mitchell. Mitchell ended up disbarred and spent 2 yrs in prison for his role as AG protecting Nixon.

This has been a problem from the beginning. Dismantle ICE… Native Americans are U.S. citizens. Reports of ICE questioning and detaining Native Americans, including challenges to tribal IDs, should concern every American. Don’t tell me this is only about immigration status anymore.

Earth is now warming faster than at any point in recorded geological history - around 10 times faster than the extreme warming event 56 million years ago and 20 times faster than at the end of the last ice age. We are almost certainly in a new extinction event.
