It's up to us to pick up the torch and lead the charge to defend American democracy and the rule of law. Republican lawmakers won't lift a finger to help until we show them their political careers won't survive unless and until they turn on Trump and his gang of misfits.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

We have become careless of what matters. “Never again?” From east to west, bullies dominate. International institutions have been allowed to wither. In the US, powerful voices echo Nazi justifications for overriding democracy.

In 1945 we said ‘never again’, yet already we’ve forgotten | The Observer
Eighty years ago this weekend, on Sunday 11 November 1945, King George VI joined the newly minted Labour prime minister Clement Attlee in laying wreaths on the Cenotaph in London’s Whitehall, the first time in seven years that the remembrance ceremony, introduced after the first world war, had taken place in peacetime. Across the nation, countless millions assembled at 11am to stand for two minutes in silence.

You GOTTA love this!! Putin is getting the attention he deserves. Sadly, Trump will have no idea what this means; don't even try to explain to him.

They’re not doing what they told me to do.

They’re not doing what Jesus told them to do.

They’re not doing what I thought they would do.

They’re doing what they’ve done before.

They’re doing what they do.

Give them time, they’ll do it again.

THIS is the energy we’ve been waiting for. Credit where credit is due.
"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.
