One has to ask:

Why are Republicans so desperate to defend Trump's misdeeds while screwing over America?

Our Time Is Now:
“Beyond Congress, there are the unmentioned corridors of power we too often cede: state and local elections [...] These elections matter because the architecture of our rights begins closest to home.”

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

Last year, we wrote about survivor Taylor Cadle. When she was 12, she told police she’d been raped. They said she was lying and charged her with false reporting. She then took the extraordinary measure of recording the next act of abuse.

Now, Taylor has legal counsel and filed a lawsuit.

There is such a thing known as the "Coast Guard" to handle these allegations.

Using air-to-ground missiles against what may well be a fishing boat for all we know, is not the method.
