'A Presidential Daily Brief item on Aug. 6, 2001, titled “Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US” became infamous in 9/11 lore, yet the commission report notes that it was the 36th PDB relating to bin Laden or al-Qaeda that year alone.'

9/11/01 "was an emergency, yes, that’s understood. But that state of exception became our new American exceptionalism." washingtonpost.com/outlook/intera…



Yeah, but I lifted this quote from the queen of the MSM, the NYT.

Where in the hell is our Democrats in the Senate?? We needed voting reforms months ago! Where is the MSM reporting on this subversion of our Democracy? Oh yeah, bitching about inflation and empty shelves bullshi*.

Idiocy.

Did Dershowitz make this absurd remark after or before an almost all-white jury convicted Potter of first and second degree manslaughter? Just curious.  breitbart.com/radio/2021/12/…



I just wrote a letter telling Columbia to agree to a fair contract now and end the strike! Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/columb…

One down, 146 to go.

NEWS: GOP Rep. Tom Rice tells me he regrets his vote against certifying President Joe Biden's electoral wins in the hours after the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. He appears to be the 1st R in Congress to publicly say so. (He later voted to impeach Trump.) politico.com/minutes/congre…

“Hey, Republicans who supported this president — esp the ones in the joint session of Congress today — have you had enough?” Colbert sd. “After 5 years of coddling this president’s fascist rhetoric, guess whose followers want to burn down the Reichstag?” nyti.ms/3pedH0Z


Read this. Then read it again.

At this point, it seems like we can credibly say that out of sheer self-interest, Trump likely caused the unnecessary deaths of at least a couple hundred thousand people. slate.com/news-and-polit…


The disgrace of Joe Manchin. The fact that his coal holdings are in a blind trust is irrelevant, and a joke--he knows, and we all know, he profits from coal. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…

For some time I’ve been a target of political harassment & intimidation coordinated by extreme right wing actors. I’m not alone. Many women in politics here and abroad are experiencing this. Political violence against women is used to intimidate & silence our voices. 1/3
