Trump admin orders diplomats to rat on colleagues for "anti-Christian bias," according to a leaked cable I published in full: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/crusade-ag...

The Trump administration is quietly drafting a bold new policy for combating terrorism that targets a wide range of perceived foes, from Tesla vandals to protesters, intelligence sources tell me. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trump-team...

Nixon wanted to use the Huston Plan, his secret domestic anti-terrorism scheme, to break into the Brookings Institution, a think tank, and grab a report that would presumably have included evidence that he sabotaged Vietnam peace talks right before the 1968 presidential election.

Asked if Kamala Harris should run for president again, Rep. Jim Clyburn says "I think she ran a great campaign" and "she was ill served in that campaign by people who should have listened to some of us..." "She was a great candidate, and I think she will make a great candidate in the future."

"We had two tragic deaths in the House Democratic Caucus; had those deaths not occurred last month, Republicans could not have even passed the bill today," Hakeem Jeffries says. What he doesn't mention is both deaths were of politicians in their 70s. One had cancer but ran for re-election anyway.

our long national nightmare is over

Ah! Well. Nevertheless

Department of Homeland Security announces plan to screen foreign U.S. residents' social media for antisemitism. "USCIS will consider social media content that indicates an alien endorsing, espousing, promoting, or supporting antisemitic terrorism, antisemitic terrorist organizations"

 "Our adversaries use $10,000 one-way drones that we shoot down with $2 million missiles," SOCOM commander Gen. Bryan Fenton testified to Congress today. "That cost benefit curve is upside down."

From the U.S. creation of AFRICOM to now, terror attacks in Africa have increased from 2% of attacks globally to 43%, general in charge of AFRICOM testified. Take a wild guess how congress responded to this! www.kenklippenstein.com/p/congress-f...

Longing for the economic dynamism of 1913

Hakeem Jeffries thinks the Republicans are in retreat, saying in a press conference yesterday: "The Republicans are on the run on the economy; they're on the run on health care; they're on the run in the courts; they're on the run electorally; and they're on the run legislatively"

Largest deployment of long-range stealth bombers in U.S. history: 6 B-2 “Spirit” aircraft sent to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. "This is a highly visible threat to Tehran, but at least one party isn’t supposed to notice: the American people." #Iran www.kenklippenstein.com/p/pentagon-p...

Both congressmen were in their 70s when they died in office

President Trump announces he'll be requesting a record-breaking $1 trillion Pentagon budget. "$1 trillion, and nobody's seen anything like it. We have to build our military and we're very cost conscious. But the military is something that we have to build, and we have to be strong"

I went to the anti-Trump protest and learned people are angry about way more than just Trump. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/i-went-to-...

I went to the anti-Trump protest. People were united around something I hadn't expected: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/i-went-to-...

"The parasites that are within the society, they are not at the bottom. They are those at the top." www.kenklippenstein.com/p/i-went-to-...

Give it a read. Enjoyed hearing what the protesters were protesting.

There is a clear message here. Not only do we need to get the right-wing crazies out of Congress, but we also need to replace the establishment Dems with ones who will do their damn job.

76 year old congressman John Larson suffered a freezing incident during a press conference today. This was his second incident after freezing during a speech on the floor of Congress in February.
