Delusional Donald continues to claim the coronavirus will simply “...disappear, one day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear...” as some sort of sick, psychotic rationalization for his Russian-controlled regime’s intentional inaction during this dead...

  • The Memo: Obama enters battle, enraging Trump

    Aug 24, 2020

    Former President Obama returned to the political battlefield with full force on Wednesday — and immediately got under the skin of his successor. Obama cast President Trump as an existential threat to American democracy during his speech to the Democratic National Convention. Such an intervention by a former president against his successor is unprecedented in recent history — but merited, in Obama’s view, given the stakes. “This administration has shown it will tear our democracy down if that’s what it takes to win,” Obama said near the climax...

    Aug 24, 2020

The birds welcomed them. This ancestral story serves as a metaphor for the Haudenosaunee, a confederacy of Native American communities...
