Trump’s “Complete and Total Endorsement” just lost to a guy who dropped out of the race weeks ago. Amir Hassan fell by 10,000+ votes to a candidate who wasn’t even campaigning. Some kingmaker! Outright embarrassing! #USDemocracy #RisingBlue newrepublic.com/post/214002/... via @newrepublic.com

Schiff: "The president is entitled to his own views about me or anybody else. He is not entitled, however, to use the DOJ to go after his political opponents. The day we say that's ok and the day we confirm an AG who says that's ok is the day the rule of law becomes merely an unenforceable idea."
Story of many many Americans lives.. the medical stuff shouldn’t be political But somehow that has become Toxic too????

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
In the 1950s we had 700 different chemicals in our food Today we have over 10,000 in our food In Europe, they only have 700 still today. Kelloggs makes the safer Canadian version and the American version. Two different options, same manufacturer. Americans have been sold out sadly.

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

It was over for Max Miller politically when he said his wife couldn’t have been abused because she offered to make him dinner 6 days later. He may not have known it when he said it, but that was the end. You have to be a sick bastard to come up with that as your defense.
What a jerk… $5M to gold plate beautiful bronze statues! He funneled all the money from our National Parks… estimated at up to $90M for all his projects & the excessive fireworks. Meanwhile there’s no money to help families with healthcare & kids cut off from SNAP are hungry! #Blues

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
Republican Senators are voting to confirm Trump’s lawyer to be AG when it just came out that Capital One shut down Trump’s accounts under suspicion of money laundering and Trump wants exemption from being investigated for tax fraud. THESE PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS.
More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.
