I was thinking of one journalist in particular when I gave this quote, but there are actually a few in Los Angeles who've gotten very good at this unfortunate skill.
Hats off to all of them. Support your local journalists.

he can't declare war.....only Congress can
Trump just announced he will address the nation tomorrow night from the White House. Probably to declare war on Venezuela. We all knew he was going to pull some last-second shit to distract from the Epstein files.

So the post office is pillaging packages now because it’s in shambles, people went without pay, they’re scared for their jobs, and there is no oversight. United States, welcome to the third world.

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?

Oh, you mean TPUSA’s Andrew Kolvet who was interviewed by the NYTimes’s Ross Douthat THIS WEEK where he talked about how much he cares about fact-based, non-conspiratorial media and Ross didn’t challenge him at all on that assertion?
Brown University released a statement about a Palestinian student that's being smeared online as the shooting suspect.
Not going to share his post because it includes the student's personal info but one of those spreading this harmful rumor was the spokesperson for Turning Point USA, Andrew Kolvet.

Implications of this leak is huge;
Trump knows that Putin want all of #Ukraine, that a "deal" now is only temporary. T has known this even before the Alaska summit.
This means he has been helping Putin all year.
Whatever "guarantees" Trump is offering Ukraine now, is fake.
THIS IS TREASON!

Wouldn't you know it... GOP especially Jim Jordan among others who are so far up Trump's ass they can feel his tonsils... don't want these sessions televised nor heard by the media or public. (they can't spin the scenario if the testimony is actually available for us to hear!)

Not for nothing but federal law contains several statutory provisions that restrict, if not outright prohibit, this unilateral action by the senile dementia patient in the Oval.

It is international law 101 that a military blockade is not just a violation of the UN Charter, but a crime of aggression.
Unless that blockade is in response to an 'armed attack.'
None of President's Trump's list of complaints come close to an armed attack.
