The New York Times did not blink. The Times: โ€œWe wonโ€™t be issuing a retraction." But they didn't stop there. "This is another all too common example of the president lashing out at coverage he doesnโ€™t like and belittling journalists who report the facts.โ€

I am old enough to remember Richard Nixon. What he did was criminal, but basically more stupid than anything. He didn't hurt American citizens. He was just paranoid. Compare to Trumpy who has cost everyone so much, it's not even a fair comparison. Trumpy makes billions while all of us suffer.

Mitch McConnell is dead. Apparently so is investigative journalism.

Even with it being clear for years that SS was running out of money, Congress has been loath to act. Making changes to the program โ€” & potentially cutting benefits โ€” has long been politically unpopular, & lawmakers have repeatedly kicked SS & Medicareโ€™s troubling math to the next generation.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. โ€”Harry Truman, 1952

The 28y/o was among 4 occupants of a vehicle that stopped in the parking lot of a gas station. During an encounter with ICE, the 4 fled on foot, with one darting across a busy road into the path of the semi. It was at least the 10th death involving encounters with immigration agents.

Never in the history of the American Republic has a sitting president put his name & face on government buildings, property, military weapons & instruments. Itโ€™s what kings & autocrats do - no US president ever has until now, enabled by Republican toadies, sycophants & cultists.

AOC on Susan Collins touting the money she got for body cameras and ICE training in the DHS bill. โ€œSenator Collins wrote the blank check to allow these officers to conduct themselves in the way that they have in Maine in the first place, and she's the one who's poured resources into it.โ€

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.

President Obama: โ€œWe pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. Thereโ€™s no dispute that it worked and we didnโ€™t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.โ€
