Bovino is the kind of guy who gets power when people like Obama and Biden try to appeal to Republicans by “getting tough” on immigration, only to have the very weak leash taken off under someone like Trump. Lesson: stop trying to be and appeal to shitty republicans on this core stuff.

If you're going to grovel for money on the back of this horrific recission bill, at least have the decency to blame Republicans instead of "Congress." Democrats didn't vote for this. Democrats aren't taking away your money. Inform the public better if you want donations.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

I rode my bike to my public library several days a week as a kid and read hundreds of books, sometimes one a day. Books help you formulate new ideas, then create worlds in your mind, they expand your thinking at minimal cost. Another sad day for a terrible president.

We don't want, or need, the military in our cities, and we certainly don't need them under the control of the president. Conservatives said for years this is what Obama would do. All they were doing is priming people for this moment when a corrupt authoritarian would actually do it.

Trump keeps spreading lies about Social Security.

What he isn't telling you is that he's actively trying to dismantle it — firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering regional offices.

Why? To pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.

Creating a national reserve of crypto currency is basically a pump and dump handout to Russia and North Korea. They've been mining and stealing crypto for years. Putting a trillion $ into any of them will pump them up, and then these regimes will simply sell them. Your tax dollars at work.
