How not surprising that a president who acts like a petty mob boss is holding one of our nation’s treasured institutions hostage until we meet his conditions—that is, putting his stupid name on the building. I say we just put it in mothballs until he is gone.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

“… #CICTAR notes. “The #Trump administration has not only been granting record amounts in new contracts to Palantir but is running a #global #protectionracket to help it – along with other larger #UStechgiants – avoid paying #tax both in the US & globally,” the report states.

How it's done.

1. Manufacture a threat.
2. Offer protection from it.
3. Make the price a vote for tax cuts for the wealthy, weaker public services and greater private power.

An institution or Party that cannot police its own eventually stops being an institution and becomes a #protectionracket.

Johnson: If we lose the midterms, these Democrats will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. We’ll take care of you.
