FBI photo of documents strewn on floor implies Trump behaved carelessly with government documents. In fact it's the FBI that placed the documents on the floor for a staged photo. You too could be the victim of this kind of dishonest "law enforcement." Be warned. #FBI

A House Judiciary report shows that the FBI distorted and rigged data to indicate a surge in domestic extremism when there is none. A handy tool for Biden's lying, claiming "democracy is on the ballot." If GOP wins House, it must clean out the rot at the FBI.

Biden's speech marks a dangerous moment. Only twice before -- in 1798 and on the eve of Civil War -- did one major party deny the legitimacy of the other. MAGA Repubs put on notice to worry about being audited, raided, and labelled terrorists. An UnAmerican speech.
