This is the type of letter you write and make public when you’ve discovered that the CIA is up to no good and can’t be trusted—and you have no confidence the people in charge care.

But, somehow, Jeff Bezos had $75 million to squander/bribe for his useless, money-losing Melania vanity movie. Who needs accurate, smart reporting when you can have shameless, stupid propaganda?

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

A central reason we're in this mess is that the final GOP budget is going to be full of ugly, deeply unpopular stuff - exploding deficits, destructive tariffs, cuts to health care/clear energy/food, supersizing ICE, tax cuts for billionaires - that Rs simply don't want to take responsibility for. 1/

This week, @realDonaldTrump referred to Alaska being Russian, twice. Today, he called St. Petersburg Leningrad. If this were the “Manchurian Candidate”, the President would be exposed as a Russian agent.

They’re not saying it because msm has refused to report on the truth about racism & white supremacy in this country in any sustained manner. They will say “Democratic cities” over and over. But what of Portland, Seattle, Nashville, Jacksonville, Miami?

Tim Miller: “There's not any other sex offender in a low security prison like [Ghislaine Maxwell]. Not that you want to rank the different types of sex crimes, but Ghislaine's is about the worst. It's about as bad as you can do—recruiting dozens of girls into quasi-sex slavery.”

Men who fetishize having a "traditional woman" and obsess over women being modest, obedient, quiet, submissive and homemakers are walking red flags. What they mean is they want a slave, a free SW, and someone to baby them. They want free labor.
