Have you guys noticed that Republicans who were a rubber stamp for Trump for the last decade are now suddenly pretending to be defenders of democracy? Amazingly, Senator Thom Tillis is finding his courage right around the time his book tour is launched. How brave! Read my take at the link below ⬇️

The Trump regime wants to dismantle the International Criminal Court because it plans to continue committing war crimes. The Trump regime is refusing to allow international election monitors because it plans to continue committing election fraud. They are not being subtle.

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.

The Trump administration says none of this is happening.

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children."

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.

The president of the United States says that "the New York Times, and many other Artificial Media Outlets, should be arrested" for denying that the arena in which he spoke had empty seats. It's really bad! www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

The Ohio Arena was already full to the brim — And yet these people were still trying to get in. The New York Times said, “There were empty seats” when, in fact, there were none, and thousands of people had to be turned away. The New York Times, and many other Artificial Media Outlets, should be arrested for their dishonesty and disservice to our Country. When Bernie Sanders has 500 to 1,000 people, they make it sound like it’s the biggest event that ever took place. When PRESIDENT DONALD J.
