The press should boycott the WH Press R. They’re mere stooges in this sad farce. Ridiculous to think crudeness, insults & misogyny as “Frank” talk. WH’s shown nothing but contempt w combative postures. What is the press getting but falsehoods & rage?! Like w cancer, it helps taking oxygen away.

My friend @drannieandrews.com will be Lindsey Graham's opponent.
She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.

What we are witnessing in this precise moment in the United States is a remarkable rot that is as visible as the sun on a bright blue sky day. The rot is blinding, and it is spreading in plain sight faster than can be noticed, addressed, or even seen.

The number of manifestly psychologically unwell people in the highest levels of this administration should be unsettling to the world.
Most of this “press conference” is this lunatic yelling at the media. This guy is so obsessed with his press coverage that he can’t even function.

States must figure out a way to counter balance Trump with creative initiatives, for local and international impact, specifically here in Massachusetts. The moment he moves against states he will implode. Look at what happened in ME.
