Stephanopoulos should have cut him off at the first lie. Allowing them a platform and they use it to lie, is just helping them. CUT THEM OFF when they lie! Then after you cut their mic, present the facts

Album cover

I’ve admired Jason Moran for a long time, but this record is on another plane. Some of the wildest, most visionary music I’ve heard in a while. Equal parts brain-tickling, ear-cleaning, and heart-squeezing.

10/10 no notes.

This is a Russian newspaper, the Communist Parties main media vehicle. Take it with a big grain of salt. They are speaking to their populace and that means it's probably propaganda.

Our IMPEACH TRUMP billboards have one small problem: Trump's LONG list of impeachable offenses won't fit on them. Our Impeach Trump newspaper ad campaign started today with a 1/2 page ad in the Santa Fe New Mexican, with more cities to come. Impeach. Take back Congress. Defend our nation!

@maddow.msnbc.com DO you realize that MSNBC is silencing your show from last night that criticized their firing of Joy Reid? You cannot watch it on their site. You can watch your show from the day before though. Thought your should know if you don't already!

Trump funding freeze a blatant violation of Constitution, federal law: Legal experts The Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear: President Donald Trump's order to pause federal funding is against the law, legal experts tell ABC News.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

Democracy no longer means what it was meant to. It has been taken back into the workshop. Each of its institutions has been hollowed out, and it has been returned to us as a vehicle for the free market, of the corporations. For the corporations, by the corporations.
