18 Hours ago the White House Press Secretary, Sarah Sanders released a photo of Trump being briefed on Syria...

The Problem is that Mike Pence was in the room.

Mike Pence was in Peru during this time.

In any other administration this would be a major controversy.

Not this one

Black infants in America are now more than twice as likely to die as white infants — a racial disparity that is actually wider than in 1850, 15 years before the end of slavery https://t.co/6t3p1EJcuY

Here is the difference being able to afford to pay makes. Let's restore the idea of "presumption of innocence" & return thousands of people back home to their friends and families where they belong. In short, we'd like to put ourselves out of business. #AudaciousProject #TED2018

Notice that when the Israeli army kills people, U.S. corporate media lose their action verbs. It's always "__ Palestinians were killed."

"There was unrest."

"There were clashes."

No. The Israeli army fired live ammunition into a crowd. There was murder.

If owning a gun was an effective means of self-defense, your insurance rates would go down when you bought one. But they go up, because actuaries have proven that you’re far, far more likely to shoot yourself or a family member than someone attacking you.

[Franklin Leonard @franklinleonard]

All this talk of arming teachers is a reminder of what happened to one employee of the Saint Paul (MN) Public School System who had a concealed carry permit.

I swear some of us have been yelling about voter suppression and gerrymandering while certain democrats on a certain commission try to figure out if we need more caucuses or need to reach white voters.

This is NOT OKAY. You don’t detain dads dropping their kids off at school. I repeat, this is NOT OKAY. https://t.co/l1is1lPfdR

Three months ago, you walked out of an event in disgust because of a non-violent protest by black athletes.

So long a we're talking about celebrities getting into politics: Bruce Springsteen should primary Menendez in New Jersey and Dolly Parton should run for governor of Tennessee.
