After Amazon gave $1M to Trump's inauguration, Trump installed Amazon's former lawyer to head the NLRB. Now the agency has ended a major case investigating Amazon's mistreatment of its contract drivers with a slap-on-the-wrist settlement. This is what a quid pro quo looks like.

What Trump Delivered for Amazon
The feds were pushing a landmark case about Amazon’s control of its contract drivers. Then the president put Amazon’s former lawyer in charge.

NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court. Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

Please read this wonderful essay by my friend Tom Debley about the moral crisis facing our nation, and the recent message from Catholic bishops about the need to protect and value those who have immigrated here.

The blame goes entirely to Trump and the Republicans, who are harming millions of innocent people, many of them their own voters and supporters.

So strange that academic freedom is only important to Republicans, or supposedly so, when it involves lefty professors in the Ivy League. But it's fine to be a right-wing blowhard at Texas A&M. Or a racist cop, apparently.

The USG and everyone involved should be horribly embarrassed for participating in this absurd prosecution. But in the end: Justice was … served.

It's very simple, really. What Trump and the GOP are doing, using starvation as a weapon against 42 million Americans and the Democratic Party, is the equivalent of a war crime.

Good corporate citizens shouldn't be running recruitment ads for ICE, aka Trump's secret police. This seems like a pretty low bar to me, but Spotify can't be bothered to care, apparently.

A policy of hate sounds like a very bad idea. But a policy of telling the blunt truth about how Trump is hurting "his own people," his own voters and supporters, in a way that bites through the haze, that would be very useful and effective.
