Klobuchar: “For a US senator to have false information and imply, based on a confusion about the name of a team … and imply that you were in another city, that you were somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia, and then call you a dirtbag, is something that deserves an apology.”

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

The Week Republicans Finally Panicked About Trump
President Trump is deeply unpopular and trapped in an unwon war of his own choosing. A reckoning—one far harsher than was expected, even a few months ago—seems imminent, Susan B. Glasser writes.

This, this list is great evidence against horserace coverage of the midterms. We have not a typical administration for the last 21 months. When @npr.org & other news outlets continue to just shrug at a list like this it allows more cruelties, corruptions & crimes to continue.

Elizabeth Warren: "It's gonna look like whatever Xi Jinping wants it to look like. Donald Trump loves to bully when he's talking to the press. He loves to bully when he's front of a big crowd. But face to face is there any evidence that he has ever been tough with another dictator?"

I know we live in a world where facts don’t matter and where way way too many people are utterly untethered to truth, but the fact is the 28yr old Venezuelan man who was shot in the back by ICE in Austin came into this country legally and was in this country legally.
