Just a reminder that Trump’s DOJ just dropped a criminal fraud investigation into Ogles, including allegations that he used a photo of his stillborn child to raise tens of thousands of dollars for a burial garden for children that was never built. He has never accounted for that money.

a side issue that struck me while reporting on Indiana banning student IDs for voting: how freaking strict Indiana is in tossing ballots when you make an error! at the sole polling place on campus at IU Bloomington, 300 people cast provisional ballots in November... & every single one was rejected!

I never want a single media outlet to ever take seriously a single current Republican politician claiming to be serious about national security or the challenge of a rising China ever again.

It's absolutely insane that Elon Musk and his wrecking crew are saying they're firing entire swaths of our government infrastructure and the press are just like "oh that's sad but what are you gonna do, guess they're fired." It is batshit crazypants, and it's being covered like normal policy choices

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this. The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

Without billions and billions of dollars of taxpayer subsidies there would be no such thing as Elon Musk. Taxpayers created his wealth, not free market capitalism. He has no idea what goes into building profitable companies, let alone how government works or can run efficiently.

Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power. Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.
