COMMENTARY: Gov. Jared Polis (D) removed a standard line from Tina Peters' clemency letter which reads: "I believe you will be successful upon your release." If Peters is successful in helping President Trump overthrow American elections, that will be Polis' legacy.

Appalling: ICE and CBP contracted for $144 million in weaponry and accessories in Trump's first year, per data obtained by Sen Adam Schiff. For ICE it's a fourfold increase, much of it for military-style weapons. A heavily armed secret police force. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2069...

Trump’s ICE Is Quietly Stockpiling Weaponry—and It Should Alarm Us All
In addition to staffing up at a furious rate, ICE and CPB are acquiring a vast cache of weapons from private contractors, new data reveals. This will not end well—or anytime soon.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends. It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Neither Netflix nor the Paramount/Trump/Saudi Arabia group should own Warner Bros. Both deals are absurd - terrible for consumers and democracy. This is a story about corruption - Trump using government power to screw consumers and gain control of the media. A red alert moment.

You need to understand that he actually believes it is illegal to criticize him. Why? Because Trump believes he - not the people - decides the law. This is why we are in the middle of, not on the verge of, a totalitarian takeover.

Quick point. Trump cannot silence you, period. He doesn’t have the means or the tools, and if he did he would be too weak to use them. This is a bluff. It only works if you let it.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.
