Todd Blanche said the quiet part out loud about his relationship with Donald Trump: “I'm his lawyer – was his lawyer.” That tells you exactly how he views the job. Blanche won’t be your Attorney Gene...

James Taylor honored Carole King at the Kennedy Center by performing “Up on the Roof,” a song written in 1962 by Carole King and Gerry Goffin. King also wrote “You’ve Got a Friend,” which became Taylor’s only No. 1 single and earned Grammy Awards for both of them.

Trump's ever-expanding list of taxpayer grifts: -$1.8B slush fund for political allies -$1B for ballroom "security" -$1B for Qatar jet refurbishments -$230M in DOJ "compensation" -$100M+ for golf outings When he says he "doesn't think about Americans' financial situation," I believe him.

Jonathan Ross—the ICE fascist who killed Renee Good—is an 18-year ICE veteran, firearms instructor, & active shooter trainer. The people claiming "ICE needs more training" are missing the point. Ross's 2 DECADES of training IS what led him to execute Good. ICE Training IS the problem. Abolish ICE.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

Republicans have been out to gut Social Security for years because it’s one of the most popular and successful programs ever created.   Those who claim to care about the debt while pushing for trillions in tax cuts for the rich and corporations don't really care about the debt.

I’m fairly convinced there will not be many deportations, but folks taken to prisons and camps. We are still going to need undocumented labor, and the only way you can legally enslave someone in the US is to incarcerate them and force their labor.
