The left should be ecstatic about this. This means we can focus on winning the Senate. Oppressed communities and causes need us fighting fascists in AL, CO, AZ, NC, ME, IA, MT, TX, GA.
New York's attorney general's office doesn't intend to simply slap the NRA on the wrist. It hopes to "dissolve the organization in its entirety."
According to NBC News' report, the Democratic AG accused the organization of engaging in illegal conduct by diverting "millions of dollars away from the charitable mission of the organization for personal use by senior leadership, awarding contracts to the financial gain of close associates and family, and appearing to dole out lucrative no-show contracts to former employees in order to buy their silence and continued loyalty."
Rachel Maddow reviews the details of a New York Times report that U.S. intelligence told Donald Trump in March that Russia was paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill coalition troops, including U.S. troops. Trump has yet to respond and instead has advocated for Russia's return to the G8.
If the Left fails to take security seriously, we don't deserve to govern. Fascists take power over oppressed communities, in great part, because they we let them lie with little consequence on security issues. This is the issue that delivers more votes for them than almost any other. Fascists are incompetent on security, but they govern over us because we fail to hold them accountable for it.
If hatred of the military industrial complex neither helps us win power of government to reduce its size, and only makes us ineffective at security, maybe we should pay attention to our own warnings about how harmful hatred is.
"I have never been in a courtroom where the accused can unilaterally block witnesses from testifying or prohibit prosecutors from asking witnesses questions. No court would allow a trial to proceed this way, and neither should any member of the Senate."
Every one of my colleagues has an obligation to pursue the truth, regardless of the politics.
In Facebook political messaging is prioritized by who can afford to pay for greater reach without concern for getting paid to push lies. In Twitter the more people post and retweet political messages, the greater the reach. Facebook sides with lying oligarchs while Twitter sides with users and equality by democracy.
The leader of the Arab Joint List explains why it will use its power to help make Benny Gantz prime minister of Israel.
Why are oppressed people strengthening centrism here? In a healthy democracy centrism is strong enough to arbitrate between opposing political forces. This is a vital reminder to Leftists that our primary fight is with autocracy.
The measure ensures that "no one is above the law," the governor said in a statement.
If we had listened to the Impeach Now crowd, the Congressional hearing would have been made into a Trump reality show and quickly bumped to the Senate for acquittal. Here is another sign that Pelosi deserves much higher approval ratings than Trump.
Why Doesn't D.C. Have a Military Parade on the Fourth of July? | History News
Network
The people who support Trump's military parade don't seem to know what the American Revolution was about.
David Waldstreicher, a professor of history at Temple University, speculates that a major reason is that the American Revolution was itself a revolt against a standing army occupying a major city. Military demonstrations in small towns were common in the early Republic (and remain so), but “American national liberty, at home at least, is associated with freedom from men in arms marching through the streets.”
During an appearance in Leesburg, Virginia, former President Jimmy Carter says President Trump 'didn't actually win the election in 2016' an
President Carter saying President Trump was illegitimate and only elected with interference from Russia, and Vice President Mondale saying President Trump had psychiatric issues.
The state intrusion on women's bodies for political power is another in the avalanche of examples since Trump's election of the fascism that has long been taking over the Republican Party. Sadly, it is also a reminder of how foolish and dangerous it is for us to allow some on the Left to push the idea that centrism is as great a threat to oppressed communities when what is going on in the Republican Party it is so much worse.
Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers talks with Rachel Maddow about why the law is clear that the IRS commissioner is obligated to res
Will it take the arming of militias and civil war to force Republicans to respect the rule of law? Are the accusations true that Republican calls for Law and Order are a farce? Republicans seem eager to break laws that limit their profiteering or misconduct, but then pretend they care about rule of law if doing so can oppress minorities; like the War on Drugs did.
Why bother with degrees like History or English? Here’s why the liberal arts could leave you better prepared for employment than you think
Community organizing not only belongs in the humanities, we depend on interdisciplinary work with others who specialize in the humanities for our success. As resources and mind space are being pulled from the humanities and toward STEM, how are we explaining the value of our area of study?
Here's one example from two top executives at tech giant Microsoft: "As computers behave more like humans, the social sciences and humanities will become even more important. Languages, art, history, economics, ethics, philosophy, psychology and human development courses can teach critical, philosophical and ethics-based skills that will be instrumental in the development and management of AI solutions.
Predictions for when special counsel Robert Mueller will deliver his much-anticipated report to the attorney general have yo-yoed between da
No one is going to save us from our own nation's politics, and a Messiah complex around Mueller or anyone else undermines the reality that we must save ourselves. Thankfully in 2018 we took a strong step toward building a majority capable of not just of winning the U.S. House majority, but also of governing. Now we need to unite behind them again as they push for the entire report to be released.
Nancy Pelosi will need to launch investigation into the gaps in the report and what needs further examination. She will need our support; we cannot remain so divided on the Left that she has to do this work from a position of lower approval ratings than the worst President in US history.
We must hold congressional republicans accountable for aiding and abetting in the obstruction of justice. Trump and Pensé must answer for treason, if they helped a foreign power attack the most valuable and essential institution we have; the democracy so many have died and suffered so we the people, not foreign powers, decide who governs us. And if Republicans refuse to publically call for removal, then we must hold those in elected office (and their enablers in business, religious, civic, media and other space of influence) accountable.

Former solicitor general Neal Katyal, who drafted the special counsel regulations, said in a New York Times op-ed published Thursday that "a short Mueller report would mark the end of the beginning, not the beginning of the end.
Salt Lake City (AP) -- Former President Barack Obama said Wednesday that he tried to build a culture centered around problem-solving and not
Fascism organizes people to reject facts and logic for followership. Participating not only makes you a fascist it also makes you responsible for every wrong by fascism you enable. Everyone enabling Trump is responsible for what he does and is underserving of any position of trust in the religious, business, civic, media, academic and other spaces of influence in this republic.
