The chaos at the CDC should alarm everyone. One former staffer said it's become a “death cult.” They’re purging health experts, undermining public trust, and jeopardizing our preparedness for future pandemics. The damage they’re doing will cause immeasurable suffering. We can’t let that happen.

News Analysis: It is not clear what evidence the authorities have that John Bolton mishandled classified information, but President Trump’s efforts to punish rivals immediately stoked questions about the investigation.

Inviting the former head of the KGB into your presidential limo smacks of sloppy security. It's not as if Putin is a stranger to bugging devices. And what if Trump gets an emergency military/intelligence call? Does he ask his boss, Putin, to stick his fingers in his ears?

When Trump seized D.C., he said these forces could do “whatever the hell they want.” They took the directive seriously. According to residents, a gaggle of federal agents took a photo around a pro-immigration banner, before tearing it down and leaving a dildo in its place. trib.al/1cnDqLN

FEC records show Elizabeth Fago donated $1M to Trump's super PAC in April. What happened next? Three weeks later Trump pardoned her son, a nursing home executive who pleaded guilty to withholding millions from his workers' paychecks (while buying a luxury yacht). Everything is for sale.

Much of Trump's authoritarian power grab has been green-lit (at least temporarily) by the Supreme Court's "shadow docket." This allows justices to effectively make rulings in secret without explaining their decisions. Is it any wonder why so many do not trust the Roberts court?

There is likely no trade deal with Japan. There's no agreement to review. No text. Even in this article, the author notes that Japan hasn't even confirmed the existence of an agreement. So why report that there's a trade deal if we know Trump lies and there's no agreement?
