NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Here’s a view of the Persian Guif from my favorite Abu Dhabi beach. Iran is on the other side of this water.

Today, I’m praying for peace for this region and the world.

LMAOOOO

Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn ... Tom, arrest me. Let's go."

"If you don't stand up and fight now, if you don't take a position now, it's going to be too late," Eric Holder tells Rachel Maddow. "The time is now to stand up and do all that we can to fight this administration."

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

“We must dissent because America can do better.” Good to hear Wisconsin Judge Susan Crawford quote Justice Thurgood Marshall in her victory speech tonight.

Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice-elect Susan Crawford wins BIG, and receives a massive round of applause at her victory rally.

Great congratulations, and gratitude beyond all measure.

The men disappeared to El Salvador because of their tattoos The Trump administration sent Venezuelans to El Salvador’s most infamous prison. Their families are looking for answers.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Donald Trump promised he wouldn't cut Medicaid.

This week, his friends in DC voted for a bill that would leave 3.4 million Illinoisans, including 1.4 million children, in the dust.

Another middle finger to working families and the most vulnerable in our state.

Fuck Trump from an American in Abu Dhabi!!

Watching my favorite Gene Hackman movie. What a wonderful actor he was. RIP Gene.

Five Failures in the Oval Office (video) America hurt itself badly today.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.
