Misogyny, racism and apathy won out.
The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

on this day 1941 President Roosevelt gives the 4 Freedoms speech. "Let us say to the democracies: "We Americans are vitally concerned in your defense of freedom. We are putting forth our energies, our resources and our organizing powers to give you the strength to regain and maintain a free world."

Today is the fifth anniversary of one of the darkest days in U.S. history, an attempt to use brute force to block the lawful transfer of presidential power. We are a nation of laws, not violence.

To Denmark and Greenland: 100 Danish forces deployed to Desert Storm. They stood with us defending sovereignty and international law. Now I watch Stephen Miller mock you on TV while my government threatens to invade Greenland. I'm a veteran and I'm ashamed beyond words. I'm so sorry.

DOJ is incompetent by design.
Why isn’t the Trump admin prioritizing transparency and accountability around sex trafficking of minors?
JUST IN: DOJ says it has finished reviewing *less than 1%* of the Epstein Files for potential release.
Only 12,285 documents have been released while more than 2 million remain under review.

Miller looking at the world.
To be really clear, there are no key lawmakers. All of them are generally useless.
Chris Murphy: "At some level he's winning tonight because clearly part of his intent here was to distract the American people -- you and I -- from what's happening here at home. You have 20 million families who are getting massive increases in their healthcare premiums. People will die."

Has anyone else noticed, that while you are still deeply concerned about Trump’s actions…your fear of the son of a bitch…has vaporized? That’s when a nation of democracy loving Americans are finally realizing the real power they hold.

To be crystal clear Trump and enablers don't give a rat's ass about Americans health and well being. Please see Republican healthcare plan. Thanks.
MacCALLUM: You have about 100,000 dying from drug overdoses, most of those drugs from from Venezuela and other places
CROW: That's actually not true. The majority of the deaths by drugs in America are the result of meth and fentanyl. Almost none of that comes from Venezuela
