This #criminal #administration led by a #felon has no #moral or #legal #compass. It blatantly takes #illegal actions and brazenly #lies in court and outside. The one who belongs in #prison is unfortunately in the #WhiteHouse. Thanks for nothing, #SCOTUS.

The push would spark an intense #legal fight over the right of a president to grant sweeping #lands #protections under the 1906 #AntiquitiesAct — & take them away.

The editorial linked a 2011 mass shooter who killed six and wounded U.S. Rep Gabby Giffords with Palin's political rhetoric and a map that her political action committee circulated with Democrats, including Giffords, under crosshairs.'

A top official in the Department of Labor this week informed all staff members that they could face criminal charges if they speak to journalists, former employees or others about agency business.
“This message will serve as your only warning,” the memo stated.
