No love for John Bolton. But the FBI is raiding him for criticizing Trump’s foreign policy. The government’s being weaponized to silence opposition—and it’s only going to get worse.

Powell is all of us…🤦🏻
Powell called out Trump for making stuff up to smear him
"I'm not aware of that, Mr President. I haven't heard that from anybody at the Fed. You just added in a third building is what that is. No, it was built five years ago. We finished it five years ago. It's not new."

I love an Irish General election. You can keep Jake Tapper striding through a VR map like a Colossus. I don't want Wolf Blitzer using a touchscreen to show voter turnout.
Give me a frazzled RTE reporter coming live from a playschool in Offaly watching votes being added with a pencil for two weeks.
