I was getting dressed this morning when I heard Trump’s ad on MS NOW.
Initially I thought they were covering it, followed by the usual commentary. Then I realized it was a commercial.
Taxpayer-funded Trump propaganda on MSNOW. We’re funding it and MSNOW is profiting from it.

This is just despicable by MS NOW, which has accepted stolen taxpayers dollars for 38 illegal ads. Give me a break with this bullshit statement too. So your hosts are on air all day saying this is illegal while you are taking the money and running the ads? Just gross.

New: USPS is to put cameras in its trucks that continuously record. This is to gather data on roads, signage, and to improve "community safety," the agency tells me. The cameras are marketed to capture passing license plates too, but don't run ALPR software

This morning, the Justice Department went after nearly an entire state's federal bench, all at once.
The judges had said the government wasn't following court orders.
The response was to try to remove the judges.
Here's why every American should be paying attention.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.
