I haven't seen a single Republican in Congress condemning Trump's call to hang/execute Democrats in Congress.

Any of you out there?

The opposition message: “ We Want To Hang You”
I’m suddenly thinking about all the people who’ve been demanding that elected Democrats put their lives on the line to fight Trump when those same people couldn’t be bothered to fill in a fucking bubble on a piece of paper a year ago to prevent all of this.
Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging.

Here’s my response:

This Veterans Day I want to acknowledge the Black veterans of WWII who fought fascism and nazism and came home to fight for civil rights and democracy here. New research shows Black veterans were critical in securing the voting rights currently under attack.

Today is Veterans Day, a day that Trump and Republicans pretend to care about those who served their country.

Unless it's a PR opportunity, troops, veterans, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice, never cross their mind.

“The Democrats had momentum coming off of the election night win, polls only getting worse for President Trump and the Republicans — they're squarely taking the blame here,” he added. “There's some who really want to push Democrats to push the advantage, bargain harder, get a better deal."

Donald Trump's administration is treating the people of this country as an adversary.

It's pushing the boundaries of its authority, terrorizing our communities, and disregarding all accountability.

We will not meet intimidation with fear — we will meet it with truth.

NEW: Wearing masks, no ID, unmarked & blacked out cars, refusing to say what agency they’re from and using profanity with any press & public nearby.

This was at 14th & R in Washington DC, this morning (Sunday).

"The other 215 Republicans in the House have refused to sign on, choosing instead to keep the contents of the Epstein Files hidden from the public. Once Grijalva is sworn in, Massie’s petition will have the final signature it needs in order to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files." #epstein
A partial publication of Treasury docs has confirmed Trump’s fears and disproved his administration’s claim: within the just six pages are the names of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Bill Gates.

The shutdown halts the investigation and prevents the US Treasury from delivering any more records.

That a limited number of Republicans have been willing to call out the president on this, and the fact that everyone has just normalized Trump’s anti-constitutional behavior, marks a decay of the Republican party and its continued move away from conservative values. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
