My song about the odd persistence of low interest rates. From 2016. Prophetic, or just lucky? You be the judge. youtu.be/Nt_zVk8j4wY

I’ve already responded to a few folks, but I’d like to boost this as much as I can: She was part of the protest *opposing* Trump’s July 4th event, and she saw this sign as a way to oppose his border policies. You can see an interview with her here: nitter.cf/realalexrubi/status/11… – at Washington, DC

This woman's sign has generated a bit of controversy on the internet today, so I decided to post my interview with her from earlier. She tells the story of the father and his 2-year-old from El Salvador who drowned trying to make it to the U.S. "It makes me really sad," she said.

If "Indepence Day" happened today Pres. Trump would tweets empty threats at the aliens, only to back down, shake their hands for a photo op and hand over California, claiming "a great deal." Also, Jeff Goldblum uploading a virus to an alien computer still wouldn't make sense.

I am profoundly sad to hear that after 67 years, MAD Magazine is ceasing publication. I can’t begin to describe the impact it had on me as a young kid – it’s pretty much the reason I turned out weird. Goodbye to one of the all-time greatest American institutions. #ThanksMAD

Let this sink in: There are tanks in the nation’s capital and concentration camps at its border. The drift to toward the unimaginable is unmistakable.

A new poll shows only 45% of men and women in the U.S. are 'extremely proud' to be American. That is the lowest amount ever recorded by this poll. What do you think is causing the decline?

It’s not only the Speaker. 156 House Dems & most Senate Dems remain silent. Not undecided. Silent. As for Nancy Pelosi: If you want her gone, I’m not with you. She‘s the fiercestsmartesttougheststeelieststeadiestst Speaker ever. I want THAT Nancy Pelosi to end him.

@Chucktodd -- Just to be clear, these DEFINITELY aren't like concentration camps, right?

And yes, I know the ultimate finger should be pointed at @realDonaldTrump but there's plenty of anger to go around. This is unconscionable.

Can someone please answer this question. Why isn't it just as important for Trump/Republicans to "win over" those classes of voters who don't vote for them, instead of trying to limit their franchises under color of law? BEGIN.

The details in this story are stomach-churning. How can we still be treating children like this? Imagine if it were your two year old locked in a cage begging to be held by someone. apnews.com/46da2dbe04f54adbb…

This captures what I’m talking about in that latest post. The “establishment” is defined as people not currently supporting Bernie. Warren is not rising because she’s getting buy in from corporate Dems. This is transparently absurd.

The cat is out of the bag. The corporate wing of the Democratic Party is publicly "anybody but Bernie." They know our progressive agenda of Medicare for All, breaking up big banks, taking on drug companies and raising wages is the real threat to the billionaire class.
