My dad was a small-town doctor who made late-night house calls on most nights I can remember growing up—and to my personal knowledge forgave (or delayed) payments from people who were on hard times. This story makes me want to move to Kansas and spend next 5+ weeks canvassing.

The Russian oligarch who helped pay for Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding celebration is under Ukrainian sanctions for his alleged role in the forced relocation of Ukrainian children, a program tied to an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 kids taken from their families.

Just a reminder that unless you are carrying a passport or a notarized birth certificate, you don't have proof of citizenship. The new driver's licenses are not proof. Non-citizens can get a driver's license, That means any ICE agent can detain you at will. Enjoy your flight.

Trump just put in charge of Iran a guy considered to be a hardliner *before* we killed his father, mother, and wife. We helped cement his rule by blowing up a girls elementary school, scorching their skies, and cutting off their water. We should expect retaliation—and blame Republicans for it.

In the way Charlie Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate fell in love on a murder spree, Lewandowski and Kristi Noem were fated for one another. Which may be unfair. Starkweather and Fugate killed two dogs, while Kristi Noem has only copped to murdering one.

This isn’t complicated. If local law enforcement saw a TSA agent exposing himself in front of passengers, he’d be arrested and prosecuted. When ICE thugs break the law, they have no more protected status than the TSA agent. Arrest and prosecute ICE agents who break the law.
