Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

I really do think we’re well beyond this point. If you pretend that your differences with friends and coworkers and family are about “politics” when in fact they’re about right versus wrong and fascism versus the rule of law, you’re doing your country a grave disservice.

A local judge in Boston has filed contempt charges against an ICE agent for seizing someone in the midst of a trial (masked men without ID grabbed the defendant during a break, and sped off with him in a van--revolting behavior). We need more of this, esp from Fed judges.
