When Trump says "we want our FBI back" what he really means is, he wants to make sure they can never investigate or prosecute him again. This is not democracy. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Wray stepping down before his 10-year term expires undermines the Congressional determination that an FBI Director shd serve 10 years and that the position is supposed to be above politics. It is abnormal - and antithetical to that goal - for a new Director to be appointed by an incoming President.

“Trump lied about an election being stolen and then sicked a mob on the Capitol. It's funny that you roll your eyes at this, Kevin, because you're the one who went down and resurrected him...We elected the most dangerous....human being that America has ever elected. And Kevin, you helped him."

Republicans have used public concern about Social Security’s future solvency as a cynical excuse to demand cuts in benefits. But Social Security could easily pay everything it will owe to everyone for the next 75 years if the cap on income subject to SS taxes were eliminated. Let me explain...

Every autocratic strongman needs his oligarchs. They've held Putin up for a long time, and they've become exponentially wealthier.

This is all playbook stuff, every bit of it, and it's all happening right in front of us.

Tell little Robert that if the cap is eliminated, the higher payments result in higher benefits.
