"Power concedes nothing without a demand." #Sessions #legalweed teapawt.net/CoryBooker/status/9489…
Sessions' determination to revive the failed War on Drugs is fiscally wasteful, morally bankrupt, unjust—and won't make us safer. This backwards policy is wrong for America, and on the wrong side of history. wapo.st/2E5uGby

"when I remember that with the waters of her noblest rivers, the tears of my brethren are borne to the ocean, disregarded and forgotten, and that her most fertile fields drink daily of the warm blood of my outraged sisters, I am filled with unutterable loathing." #PuertoRico teapawt.net/chrislhayes/status/947…
Half of Puerto Rico still has no power and ***a thousand people died*** there largely, it appears, because of insufficient storm response.

April Ryan reports #Omarosa was fired by CoS Kelly, at which point she cursed & asked if Trump knew. After being told he signed off on it she tried to enter WH residence to see him & Kelly had Secret Service remove her from prem. Trump's WH is the set of a trashy reality show.
