- Reposted by ShawneenIt's a fantastic book - download it - buy it - or just borrow it and read it. The Dust Bowl Triolgy are worth the effort.
- Reposted by ShawneenTrump just fired the three Democratic members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The CPSC regulates the safety of everyday consumer products. Guess who recently sued the agency and claimed that it's "unconstitutional"? Amazon. Connect the dots.

- Reposted by Shawneen52 years ago tonight, April 30, 1973. Woodward & Bernstein watch Nixon announce the resignations of Ehrlichman, Haldeman, AG Dick Kleindienst & the firing of WH Counsel John Dean. 7 weeks later Dean’s incredibly accurate testimony destroys & imperils Nixon’s Presidency.
- Reposted by ShawneenIs this the most insane thing Trump has ever said? My reaction to his ABC News interview and his demented MS13 tattoo claims - "this is worse than anything Joe Biden ever said."
- Reposted by ShawneenThis is from The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson aired on May 20th, 1977. Carl Sagan says something very important, a strong message that didn't lose any validity since then.

- Congress has, to put it mildly, not been a focus in this Trump term. But that ends today, as markups of the most consequential bill in years begin this week, which would transform the tax system, the social safety net, the military, and more. I break it all down here: prospect.org/politics/202...

- Reposted by ShawneenWe have arrived in El Salvador. Trump is illegally arresting, jailing, & deporting people with no due process.

- Reposted by ShawneenNo, the President actually does not decide how tax dollars are spent. Congress does. It would be good if we had an Attorney General who focused on understanding the law rather than groveling and reciting lies to score points with the President. What an embarrassing spectacle.

Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"
- Reposted by ShawneenGood morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
