When powerful interests try to control what Americans can see and hear, every elected official should speak up.

@MaElviraSalazar is quick to condemn attacks on free speech in Cuba, but where is her voice when press freedom is threatened here at home?

Jon Stewart on Trump’s corrupt slush find: “This is fuckin’ our money! Do we even have a Congress? It’s all Orwell, it’s all a fuck you troll. His entire career is a troll. They’re gonna give it to people that sprayed mace at police officers and pretend they’re rewarding patriotism”
