"It is an outrage that modern-day poll taxes, gerrymandering, I.D. requirements, and other forms of voter suppression still exist today," said Sanders on Thursday.

Look! (A Bit of) Journalisting!

More bunk. Trailed by his mass negligent homicide - 163,000 deaths, over 5 million cases - Trump just tried issuing executive orders widely deemed "Constitutional slop" to stem the bleeding. But he's facing a growing clamor from mutinous journalists, mostly women. This weekend, CBS's Paula Reid called out a lie he's told 150 times; the playground bully flinched, snarled and walked out. Note to our long-prostrate media: More please, or, "Screw your access - do your job."
