1/ Trump hired his personal pool guy with no-bid contract to renovate Reflecting Pool. Immediately after job was supposedly finished, massive algae blooms appeared. Then, the Trump government officials poured chemicals into pool to control the algae. This didn't work. The algae is still there.

On this day in 1950, Margaret Chase Smith, a new U.S. Senator from Maine, rose on the Senate floor to deliver a “Declaration of Conscience” against McCarthyism. She decried how the Senate’s “deliberative character” was being “debased” to “a forum of hate and character assassination.” #WeTheMen

You think the court won't convict the Minnesota 15 based on these broad catagories Trump has instituted? "Anti-American," “anti-capitalism,” and “extremism on migration” This is McCarthyism AND Fascism. How many people were arrested and had their lives destroyed by McCarthy's Red Scare?
