Yeah, I'm seeing predictions of gasoline being $15/gallon next week, but thanks to Donald Trump remaining laser-focused on what really matters to ordinary Americans, very rich people will soon be able to waltz in this:

wild that this has to be said but it's true, unrepentant puppy-killers should not have the kind of power and discretion now wielded by Kristi Noem

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

I told you they’d come after Veterans’ benefits. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

Late last night, the FAA announced a ban on all air travel over El Paso, Texas for the next ten days. No flights in or out until Feb. 20th. They offered no explanation.

This seems really bad. It hasn't happened since 9/11.

Imagine if four years into our war in Iraq we had only occupied 20 percent of it and lost 1.2 million men. Would anyone say the US is winning?

No? Then how in the hell can you say Russia is winning?!

It really is amazing to listen to a guy who faked bone spurs to avoid serving in the military denigrate combat veterans of our allies while also using β€œwe” when referencing the historical sacrifices and bravery of our own soldiers.

ICE is a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanish in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer means anything. The knock on the door is the sentence.

One thing most people don't understand is that we in the US enjoy greater wealth funded by other countries because they assume we are a stable and relatively friendly hegemon.

Now that we’re all about β€œcomplying with the law” re Minnesota, does that extend to complying with the law re Epstein files?

This is our justice system now: guilt or innocence are determined based on political criteria, no investigation needed. DOJ pursues a former FBI Director, or Chair of the Federal Reserve on trumped up charges, but refuses to investigate a killer.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Yes, it is beyond insanity. Luckily, the American people aren’t buying it.

I’m handing out pro-democracy grades to the media The Guardian gets an A, the NY Times gets a C, CBS gets an F

I'm proud to say that when my Stop the Presses newsletter gave out letter grades to news outlets in October, CBS got an F. Is there such a thing as an F-minus?

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

I would suggest that people go back and read: "They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-1945".

Nazis come across as VERY normal in conversations where their world view is not challenged. Once you touch on Jews or Hitler, though...

Yikes. And also, it sounds so familiar and relevant.
