- Reposted by Matt RadcliffWhy is Trump threatening to bomb Iran while demanding a deal that restricts Iran’s nuclear program when Trump “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program by bombing last year?

- Reposted by Matt RadcliffLook, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over. In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

- Reposted by Matt RadcliffOperation PARRIS is one of the most heinous things this administration has done yet. Trump’s people ordered ICE to round up 5,600 legally present refugees, people who have done NOTHING wrong, with no warning, and jailed them in Texas to be interrogated about their status.
- Another ruling just yesterday in Minnesota: A federal judge calls it "particularly craven" that ICE transfered "a nursing refugee mother" out of state.

- Reposted by Matt RadcliffTrump sold the oil from a seized Venezuelan tanker for $500,000,000.. Where is the money? He deposited it in a bank in Qatar where Congress can't get to it. He stole the oil from Venezuela, but he stole the money from America. Why has Congress not impeached and imprisoned him for his crimes?

According to Danish officials & defense histories, dozens of U.S. military installations & bases in Greenland are closed, leaving only 1 active base.
