On the eve of the nation’s 250th anniversary, which the administration has commemorated through sanitized displays seemingly designed to paper over the country’s complex past, the lessons of Keys Evans’ fight for justice and equality feel especially pertinent.

I want you to hear straight from me about what happened at Delaney Hall on Monday and what I saw inside the facility. ICE out of control. GEO Group profiting off of human misery. People living in inhumane conditions. Let me walk you through it.

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

Prof. Justin Wolfers warns: a US president has never before threatened a Fed Chair with jail. It has happened in Argentina, Russia, Turkey and Venezuela. That's how strongmen crush institutions, torch currencies and trigger hyperinflation. This path ends badly.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

The KKK is America’s oldest white terror network built on lynching murder and bombings. They fueled decades of racial terror and remain a symbol of hate. Their history is drenched in blood and intimidation. They are not designated a terrorist organization.

Honestly folks. The bluster & bullying & “how dare they say that?,” & silencing, & censoring? It’s weakness x 10. If you’re really strong, jokes don’t matter. Only if you’re banking on fear to give you power do jokes matter. That’s why authoritarians HATE being poked fun at. No fear=no power.

The White House was forced to react to South Park as Trump completely loses it with rage, calling the show “not relevant” and "hanging on by a thread," despite the show recently securing a $1.5 billion deal. Trump is considering suing over ‘tiny penis’ allegations.

Amazingly, we are still forced to listen to Republicans say with a straight face that cutting taxes for the wealthy will create such an explosion of economic growth that the tax cut will pay for itself. This is what they always say to justify upper-income tax cuts, and they’re always wrong.

Everywhere you look, it delivers blows to America's economic future.
