Please, for the love of whatever you hold holy, STOP calling it a peace deal.

It’s a ceasefire. Nothing more. Nothing less. A ceasefire held together with spit and gum at that.

@abcnews, @nbcnews, @cbsnews, @cnn, et. al, here’s a suggestion: why not cover the UPCOMINNG #NOKINGS marches on OCT. 18th the way you cover the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade? After all, there will undoubtedly be various characters and this would make it less threatening to you…

"There is a cult of ignorance in the U.S. & there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding it's way through our political & cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is as good as your knowledge."

Rick Scott lecturing anyone on healthcare is pure comedy.

The man oversaw the largest Medicare fraud in U.S. history.

$1.7 billion in fines should disqualify you from ever using the words ‘fix the system.’

If the system’s broken, maybe don’t take advice from the guy who helped break it.👇

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”
