This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200.

The kicker: She was never charged with a crime—and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money.

Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

ICYMI, today the WH Press Secretary announced she and her cronies will pick the WH Press Pool from now on. She assured major media it would still be allowed to participate—the "for now" was implicit—but said New Media will also be chosen.

I will be astonished if a single left-winger is ever tapped.
