I increasingly think Stephen Miller is seeking out cases that he knows are illegal but which he can get political mileage out of.

I've noticed some sanewashing of Donald's re-troth of the Biden clones conspiracy theory, saying he re-trothed it because of the allegedly flattering pic of himself. Stop it. Donald is out of his gourd and he's getting worse. He's a geyser of disinformation, conspiracies, and lies. Always has been.

Remember when Donald Trump got caught with all sorts of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after saying he didn't have anything, and then he got indicted but the judge slow walked the case to death? Yup. He did that.

I recently ran across a Q&A that NYU journalism professor Jay Rosen did with me three years ago. I think it holds up as far as the failings of the news media and the right-wing threat to our freedom.

@danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co responds to Joni Ernst's "we are all going to die" claim: "Millions of Americans not getting health care, not getting food assistance... is going to result in people dying because of Republican policies. And you see how much they care from Joni Ernst, which is not at all."

I worked in the service industry from the age of 14 until about 6 months ago. Many of us knew Trump’s policies would endanger workers & tear communities apart. Glad they’re fighting for Carol, but do they now see how Trump’s cruel policies harms all immigrant workers, or just the one(s) they know?

Investigators believe the man may have been framed to get him arrested & deported before he could testify in a case where he was a victim of assault. The person who spoke to the AP did so on condition of anonymity, because they couldn't speak publicly. apnews.com/article/ice-...

Trump lied about the number of undocumented immigrants, so now he has to create them by stripping LEGAL immigrants of their status so he has someone to disappear. And the oligarchs on the Supreme Court are helping him.

Given the disgraceful treatment of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa by President Trump in the WH, it is only appropriate that we take 3 mins to listen to an excerpt of Pres Ramaphosa’s recent remarks to his Natl Assembly explaining the country’s Black Economic Empowerment Program. Brilliant.
