Believe it or not, even the ultra free market economist Milton Friedman wanted to give people a universal basic income. Because, at that time, greed wasn’t paramount. There was actually a belief by both the right and left that Americans have to take care of each other.

If the US produces more oil than any country—ever—why are we still dependent on foreign oil? (Including 200,000 - 300,000 barrels a day from Russia!!!)

3 GREAT QUESTIONS:

1. Why don’t challenged voters sue for libel?

2. Why aren’t the #SCOTUS judges paying tax on the gifts they receive?

3. Why aren’t Harlan Crow and Leonard Leo in jail for ignoring subpoenas?

Don't be fooled by Charlie Koch's "opposition" to Trump. When Trump wins, Koch will control judicial appointments through his Federalist Society and executive policy through the Heritage Foundation. #KochBrothers | #Koch | #KochNetwork

In a recent article, the New York Times reports on what they say is an “all but unnoticed effort” by Trump’s allies to challenge voters in critical battleground states. But it's only “unnoticed” because they've previously refused to cover it.

Alexei Navalny’s death requires me to remind Putin apologists that the ultimate form of vote suppression is assassinating your opponents. Navalny's sacrifice follows in the footsteps of Boris Nemtsov whom Putin assassinated in 2015 after he called for a protest against the first invasion of Ukraine.

We need to return to the swing state of Georgia where they've removed 75% of the ballot dropboxes in the Black-majority counties, while increasing the number of dropboxes in white counties.

I can’t make this up.

But I can expose it. With your help.

Indiana has not had A SINGLE CASE OF VOTER IMPERSONATION FRAUD IN 100 YEARS OF RECORD-KEEPING. This is a law not to prevent a crime — which doesn’t exist — but to prevent voting by people whom the GOP guardians of the ballot box would keep away….

A federal court in Georgia ruled that a challenge to 360,000 Georgians’ right to vote—suspiciously targeting Black voters—does not violate the Voting Rights Act. The judge cited “lack of evidentiary support”—but he refused to hear the evidence featured in our film Vigilante.
