'What Can I Do To Defend Democracy?' Here’s Your Answer

What a conversation with Miles Taylor. Miles blew the whistle on Trump from inside his own administration as “Anonymous,” with a New York Times op-ed--and whose reward when Trump got back into power was an executive order investigating him Miles treason. Treason. For criticizing the president.

Most people would have taken the hint and gone quiet. When the executive order targeting him was issued, everyone in his life said the same thing: please don’t poke the bear. His wife said the opposite. Defy it, she said, because if Trump can sign one order that blows up a family’s life, he’ll sign a hundred more. She was right—a Reuters investigation counted 430 acts of revenge in his first nine months back in office. This is what authoritarians do. They lie. They demagogue. They target.

OG Anunoby Wins ESPY For Best Play

As a lifelong N.Y. Knicks fan, this moment was insane.

In their conference final game one series against Cleveland, the Knicks pulled off a remarkable 22-point comeback with less than 9 minutes remaining, but being down by 29 to Wemby and the Hawks' defense of San Antonio, I thought there was no chance that would happen again.

Was I wrong.

The tip-in was more exciting than seeing Oz's routine at the ESPYs.

Blackburn Pretends Trump's Fixer At DOJ Is Mr. Law And Order

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, who's also running for Governor of Tennessee, heaped praise on Todd Blanche during an appearance on Fox this Wednesday as Blanche was being grilled by Senators in the Judiciary Committee over his nomination for Attorney General.

Never mind Blanche's plot to help Trump retaliate against those he considered his enemies in Minnesota, or the fact that 100+ judges were recently seeking his disbarment, and for good reason, or his attempts to aid and abet Trump with election interference, or his attempts to help bury the Epstein files, and on and on with the reasons this man has absolutely no business running the Department of Justice.
