The real garbage is on the right side of the screen.
BERMAN: How many of the 40,000 people born in Somalia living in Minnesota do you consider to be garbage?

McLAUGHLIN: We're really looking at the data

BERMAN: All of them?

McLAUGHLIN: This is not about politics. This is about public safety. We saw the terrorist attack against us last week.

Kennedy is now using his post as the highest-ranking US health official to spread the claim that psychiatric drugs are a key cause of mass shootings at the nation’s schools and beyond.

There is no scientific evidence to support that theory—and extensive research indicates it is untrue.
RFK Jr. blames pills—not guns—for school shootings
There is no credible evidence that antidepressants cause violence, but Kennedy now vows a “massive” effort to prove the failed theory.

The U.S. is the only democracy in the world with:

- Lifetime terms for high court judges
- An electoral college for choosing an executive
- A legislative chamber where legislative minorities routinely and permanently thwart legislative majorities
- 75% requirements for constitutional amendments

"There’s no need for dog whistles anymore. The government of the United States now openly stands for bigotry. It’s not just closing our borders; it’s targeting Americans."

Now Trump Is Threatening Naturalized Americans
He’s not just bashing refugees and illegal immigrants. He’s going after U.S. citizens born in other countries.

Everybody else, leave your donation with the thugs at the gate.
HAPPENING NOW IN FRANKLIN: Republican #TN7 nominee Matt Van Epps has moved his event from Puckett’s to the gated mansion estate of a right wing billionaire. Police are outside and told us it’s a closed door event.

Seems to say a lot about who Matt plans to represent.

He commuted his sentence because Gentile is his kinda guy that’s why.
Next question.
Leavitt tries to explain why President Trump commuted the sentence of former GPB Capital Holdings CEO David Gentile, who was convicted of fraud last year

Remember to shop small on Cyber Monday and during the holidays. You'll be supporting your communities and your neighbors, not just padding the profits of some massive corporation or funding the next yacht purchase by a billionaire CEO.

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping at Target, Amazon, and Home Depot during the holiday weekend over their support for Trump's authoritarian policies.

I encourage you to join — and shop small. https://weaintbuyingit.com/

Nurse Ratched, please proceed to the Oval Office immediately.
The Trump admin now says nursing isn't a professional degree.

The admin plan to redefine what constitutes a professional degree to exclude nursing and limit access to student loans — outraging national health care groups and leaving nursing students questioning how they'll pay for graduate degrees.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.
