Todd Blanche told me privately that he “made a mistake” creating the MAGA slush fund. I asked him about it under oath. And he lied to Congress. His willingness to casually lie under oath shows how far he will go to avoid offending his only boss: Donald Trump.

Neither socialists nor communists destroyed 237 years of Constitutional democracy. In 2010 SCOTUS passed "Citizens United", the most deceptively named Republican ruse since Fox "News" (aka GOP TV), which unleashed unregulated capitalist greed. And the biggest billionaire feeding frenzy in history.

Republicans are so pathetic they're recycling Red Scare dogwhistles as old as Trump: NB reporters: "McCarthy's reckless and unfounded attempt to impugn my loyalty is just one more example of his typical tactic of attempting to tie up to Communism anyone who disagrees with him." --Edward R. Murrow

😳 An officer in the U.S. Central Command’s intelligence branch sent a message Wednesday to military analysts “looking for new creative and unconventional ways to pressure and punish Iran.” It’s an unusual thing to ask over email, and shows that Trump knows his options are limited.
