Our media has been trained to privilege lies, another weakness in our system Trump has hacked (but it’s helping him get impeached). Democrats are being accused of something preposterous — good messaging. NEW: House Democrats are crushing Republicans w/ use of testimony to frame #impeachment of @realDonaldTrump for American voters, weaponizing selective leaks from closed-door depositions to portray commander in […]

Even a Judge and a Republican cannot help be disgusted by DeVos’ passion for loading up Americans with unpayable debt Last Thursday should be remembered as the day the news caught up with the remorseless wretchedness of Betsy DeVos. We can now say with certainty that Donald Trump’s Secretary of Education is illegally ripping off Americans who’ve already been illegally […]
