Federal prosecutors on Friday said that contractors hired by the Trump administration had botched the renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, leaving behind “widespread damage” in the pool’s new blue lining, and that the Interior Department had then falsely blamed that damage on vandals.

Bad jokes about Jeanine Pirro aside, this reflecting pool prosecution was despicable They claimed they had witnesses. They berated journalists who questioned them. They threatened to put an Olympian in jail-for ten years Now they admit what we knew all along. It was an incompetent Trump contractor

I have been called an alarmist and worse by well meaning people who want to think it will just all be ok. The truth is it doesn't always end up ok and we can't pretend it will. Donald Trump is targeting Black voters and women to rig this election. We need to stand up, call it out and take action.

Not only is ICE back at airports, they are making workers help them, even tricking them into helping. The unions need to take action and support their members. Posted this a week ago.
Gillian Brockell @gillianbrockell.com
I saw video this week from another major airport of a woman being taken by plainclothes ICE after an airline worker paged them to the ticket counter.
Worker clearly didn't know it was ICE asking them to page and was upset. They follow, asking ICE for a warrant & woman who they can call for her.Gillian Brockell @gillianbrockell.com
I have permission from the person who took the video to talk about it, but I can't share it, because they are afraid it will make them identifiable and they'll be retaliated against.

Trump’s promises are the needle in America’s collective vein.
What Trump offers is an easy escape from the pain. To every complex problem, he promises a simple solution. He can bring jobs back simply by punishing offshoring companies into submission. As he told a New Hampshire crowd—folks all too familiar with the opioid scourge—he can cure the addiction epidemic by building a Mexican wall and keeping the cartels out. He will spare the United States from humiliation and military defeat with indiscriminate bombing. It doesn’t matter that no credible military leader has endorsed his plan. He never offers details for how these plans will work, because he can’t. Trump’s promises are the needle in America’s collective vein.
