The United States is contemplating threatening to kill people with HIV in another country as leverage to get that country's minerals.
We have become a sick nation, just as depraved and disgusting as its leader.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) is prepared to cave on negotiations to prevent a government shutdown. This cowardly move would allow Republicans to avoid the shame of a shutdown while ripping healthcare away from millions.
