Is America great yet?

Wow Iran activating terror cells in the U.S., I’m really scared. Could do mass shootings, kill our elected leaders, kidnap people on our soil in unmarked vans. The possibilities are terrifying.

Horrifying news out of Minnesota this morning as political violence takes the lives of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. @Chasten and I are holding their loved ones in our hearts and praying for State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette as they recover.

This is bureaucratized, institutionalized psychopathy.

USAGM today urgently called back to work the staff of the Voice of America's Farsi language service. All had been on paid admin leave for the past three months with the rest of VOA's silenced journalists.

Trump has ordered Medicaid to share data of suspected undocumented immigrants, the NY Daily News reports. Your data is not safe with a surveillance state.
