ABC News' lawyer told a judge the network is tempering its election coverage because of government threats. The Trump Censorship Industrial Complex is real...and expanding.

Short answer (for those outside of the PNW) is No. This will in the end be much farther apart than current polling once folks actually have to vote.

And there it is: "I should have won 8 Nobel Peace Prizes, not just 1." What a sadly predictable narcissistic creature Trump is. Sad, predictable, and loathsome.

Trump seems angry about not getting the Nobel Peace Prize again this year. A former ICC judge, Navi Pillay of South Africa, was this year's winner. Shortly after this was announced, the US imposed new sanctions the ICC. Cue Trump ragepost about stopping 8 wars in 3..2..1..

Documents released by a watchdog group suggest that despite Trump's promise to fund Freedom 250 events through private donations, taxpayers largely footed the bill. The budget estimates leave open questions about where tens of millions in private donations ended up.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Crisis PR, man. This summer I got a pitch from a firm asking if I wanted to interview a crisis PR person on how he’d handle Balogun red card fallout Sold it with “he managed crises for Penn State after Sandusky scandal.” Like no I don’t want to talk to the fucking guy who spun the Sandusky scandal

Samuel Alito just said he decides every year if he will retire. If he goes next summer, the Senate elected this November will confirm his replacement. Vote to flip the Senate and block Trump from appointing another enabler to the Court.
