I dunno what #history you’ve been reading, but if it makes you feel warm and fuzzy, I’ve got bad news.

Your Cherokee words for today.

Alexander Vindman spewed this unhinged hate about Muslims. Zero outlets other than mine have covered it:
“There is an inherent trained racism against the Jewish people in the Muslim communities. It is encouraged. It is nurtured. It is something that is not discussed… This hatred & anti-Semitism is not something I’ve seen addressed in any significant way.”

If he said this about any other group he’d be condemned. So why silence now?

Alexander Vindman Is Not the Hero Florida Needs. He Is the Problem Florida Has.

Genocide denial. Anti-Muslim bigotry. A twin brother voting to the right of nearly 75 Republicans. Florida deserves better. Fortunately, we have Angie Nixon.

Scott MacFarlane took a call on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal asking when investigative journalists and Congress would begin seriously probing the “Trump crime family.”

MacFarlane explained that Democrats are already preparing investigations into Trump family business dealings if they retake control of the House in January.
