This week Trump is going to try to ram through the Senate his bill to take over state elections so he can rig the vote in his favor. As he becomes historically unpopular, he’s getting desperate. We cannot let this bill pass.

CBS is Trump TV. Less than two months after CBS News suddenly pulled a report on the regime’s prison camps, CBS lawyers told Stephen Colbert that he couldn’t air an interview with a Texas Democratic candidate. This is what complicity looks like.

Chris Murphy: "The amount of training that's given to an ICE officer has been cut in half by this administration. The number of days of training they get are 47. You know why they get 47 days? As an homage to the vanity of POTUS. No wonder the number of violent incidents are going through the roof."
