Donald Trump is obsessively claiming that Kamala Harris never worked at McDonald's. He is saying it over and over and over again at his rallies. “It was a lie,” Trump told a rally in Mint Hill, North Carolina. “It was a fake story. It was a fake story; the press now refuses to write it because it's so, you know, this is a simple one. She said she worked at McDonald's and she didn't. It was a lie.

The state of Missouri killed an apparently innocent man on Tuesday. His name was Marcellus Williams. He was put to death by lethal injection even though the prosecutors who handled his case and the family of the woman he was accused of killing thought him innocent and asked that he be spared the death penalty.

Now ...

I’ve been trying to figure out what’s going on with Donald Trump’s recent use of profane language and the new level of personal attacks he’s hitting on the campaign trail. Listen to how he described Kamala Harris in Detroit last Friday: “She’s a shit vice president. The worst. You’re the worst vice ...

It crept in overnight, while we were sleeping. Fascism showed its face not with jackboots and concentration camps…not yet, anyway…but rather as just another day in Capitalist America. Two major media companies, The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times, made decisions to capitulate to the man th...

I assume that Donald Trump is keeping a list, so I want to make sure that my name is on it as one of those he calls the “enemy within.”

In the context of calling Liz Cheney a “war hawk,” Trump says she should be given “a rifle” and face what amounts to a firing squad of “nine barrels.”
