“The “independence†of the FBI’s investigation is key here. The Steele dossier is now a public document. The Russians know what has been alleged. But they don’t yet know what the FBI has independently verified and what it hasn’t. It’s crucial that the FBI keeps it that way.”

‘Real Question’ – Lindy West Blasts Ivanka In Truly Scathing NYT Op-Ed
“Ms. Trump’s self-professed commitment to corporate gender parity (about as milquetoast as feminism gets, but in Trump’s America, radicalism is relative) was trotted out incessantly during the campaign, especially as an antidote to her father’s self-professed commitment to nonconsensually sticking his hands on women’s genitals.”
Krugman: How Destroying DACA Puts The U.S. Economy On The Japan Track
“The truth is that letting the Dreamers work legally helps the U.S. economy; pushing them out or into the shadows is bad for everyone except racists.

Trump’s DACA Decision Could Be Political Suicide
Let’s just step back from the moral depravity for a second and think about this from a purely strategic perspective.
Yes, there’s a kinda, sorta deadline for this decision thanks to 10 states that have threatened to sue the government if it doesn’t stop protecting people brought into the country illegally as children.
