Just sat down on the Capitol Steps with my good friend @booker.senate.gov to have a real conversation about the dangerous situation we confront in America.
And what we can all do to stop it.

JUST NOW: House Rep. Maxwell Frost: “We can’t let these billionaires and corporations gaslight us. You know what the largest kind of theft is in this country? Wage theft.”
I've just come back from the Cambridge Disinformation Summit where I gave the opening keynote, titled "Demanufacturing Consent - How Disordered Discourse is Destroying Democracy", featuring everything from Fake Hooves to Jackson Hinkle being the worst.

So painful yet so powerful:
“Ma’am, would it truly bring you peace and comfort if you were to hug him?”
Tinajero embraced him and whispered something in his ear.
Judge Medrano turned away and began to weep. Media and other victims’ family members in the courtroom sobbed.
Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

Judge Xinis also denies the government's invocation of various privileges, saying the DOJ has "stubbornly refuse[d] to provide any basis" for that.
