Some basic facts: Real wages were going UP under Biden. They're going down under Trump. Inflation was coming down under Biden. It's going up under Trump. Biden supported our allies. Trump betrays them. And yet there are still people that think Biden was worse than Trump. It's mind-boggling.

I did a long interview about the proliferation of police drones, what they're using them for--and importantly, what's keeping them from being armed. The answer? In most places, not much. Companies are noticing this lack of regulation and are starting to roll out plans for selling weaponized drones.

By this logic, Jim Crow in the American South was no big deal, because in other parts of the US at the time, Black Americans could vote. I don’t think someone this well educated and intelligent really believes that.

Trump had people arrested to cover up his incompetence. An impeachable offense for any other president. For Trump, probably just about the 17th worst thing he did that week.

🚨 Sen. Angus King to Jason Kander on Trump's Russian diesel deal: “This is Trump's Munich.” He says the deal won't meaningfully lower diesel prices, amounts to just 3.5 HOURS of global consumption, and benefits Putin. “It's literally a drop in the bucket.” “The whole thing stinks.”

UPDATE: Turns out this study was rushed for approval because of the fiscal year ending. Congress designated the $1.6M for global health security, so instead of combating Ebola, it's being wasted on this. Denmark continues to stand by the study, despite what WHO or the Helsinki declaration says.

NAZA: Netanyahu orders identification and prosecution of film’s interviewees
