Let's discuss the *actual* charges against Judge Hannah Dugan using the Complaint against her.
tl;dr - she sent the man in question into the public hallway where agents there to arrest him watched him walk by and did nothing. 1/

Read this keeping in mind he intends to cut veterans benefits for millions. “Earned” means “not all of you deserve benefits and we’re going to take them away while privatizing the rest.” Bank on it.

I know there were a lot of early takes last week that the Dem base stayed home. But as the votes continue to be counted, we now know that Harris won more votes than Biden in 4 of 7 battlegrounds and ran almost exactly even with him across the 7 states.

We must review all information necessary to consider former Rep. Matt Gaetz’s nomination for Attorney General.

A lot of pissed off people are joining us at Today’s Big Stuff, the newsletter that uses the exact right amount of profanity for these fucked up times.
We share important stories, we make fun of people like Doodie Pooliani and we cuss out fascist assholes. If that sounds like your jam, join us.

Where did Trump voters get their news? 📰
Yes, there's social and partisan sites, but there is another influential strategy that isn't getting enough attention: Manipulated, pay-to-play and all out fake news sites
