Michael Fanone: “I saw Senator Cory Booker eulogize Lindsey Graham in his post and talk about how, ‘he was nice to me at one point.’ Keep that experience to yourself, Cory. You’re minimizing all of the harm this man has caused to regular Americans. If you can’t say something honest, shut the fuck up”
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
Trump saying WE in this sentence, "We're trying to have CNN go on a normal path," could not be more damning for David Ellison and alarming for the people who work at CNN
The wildest part about POVERTY is how much time it steals. Waiting for buses. Calling assistance offices. Comparing grocery prices. Fighting insurance. Sitting at laundromats. Being poor is a second job nobody pays you for.
Something remarkable about the Democratic establishment current campaign against the left insurgency is that they aren't just waging a rhetorical fight, they're acting strategically and using all the power they can wield to try to destroy the underlying institutions of the Left insurgency — Leftist consulting firms, Leftist ad-makers, Leftist campaign operatives, Leftist donor networks, Leftist think tanks, etc. — in a way that the Democratic establishment has never acted in their fights with Republicans.

Tubman risked her own life and safety many times to save others from the horrors of slavery. She’s truly one of the greatest Americans who has ever lived. Tubman was everything Trump is not - brave, fearless, intelligent, humble and selfless.
The Chicago Tribune solicited letters about bike lanes, so I decided to tell them how central good bike lanes are to my personal biking experience. https://t.co/TFLPTjM1JW
Since Neera Tanden is going on an ego trip, let me remind you of who this woman is! She was the President for Center for American Progress and pushed cuts to Social Security after the 2010 midterms.
She is an enemy of the American working class. Don’t let her being anti-rape make you forget that.
The one good thing I can say about this entire Platner shitshow is that most Democrats are calling for him to drop out, which is not how Republicans have acted when their favored candidates have faced credible rape allegations. The parties are still different: Democrats see credible rape allegations as disqualifying; Republicans continue to have a nearly unlimited tolerance for abusing women. Call them "Dem HR lady politics" if you want, but I'm actually glad we haven't fully rejected them.
Graham Platner should obviously drop out and I think he will drop out, but jesus christ, men -- if you've raped, abused, or otherwise badly mistreated women or anyone in the past, can you please just sit out running for office? Even if you believe you've changed, maybe work on a campaign or help someone you believe in, but perhaps one cost of your bad behavior is that you don't get to hold a position of extraordinary power.

Texas Attorney General, and now Republican nominee for the Texas Senate Ken Paxton gave his friend 28 days in jail after he repeatedly raped a young boy.
He does not have to register as a sex offender.
He didn’t even lose his license to practice law.
