2016 happened. Russia did support Trump’s campaign. Good reporters were on it at the time. I wrote it up within the larger context of global oligarchy and neo-fascism in "Road to Unfreedom."
9 years ago,House Speaker Paul Ryan, and Speaker to be Kevin McCarthy had a recorded conversation in which McCarthy says, "There are two people that I think Putin pays, (Representative Dana) Rohrbacher and Trump. Swear to God."

Politicians who make political decisions to deploy the military into situations that get service members killed for no good reason. They need to be held accountable.

My heart breaks for them and their families.
Thank you to the brave first responders who apprehended the suspect.
This gun violence is un-American and unacceptable.

I guess they think that if we ignore HIV/AIDS it will just go away.
It didn’t work for Reagan and it’s not going to work now.
