If we determine that Donald Trump's involvement in sex trafficking was part of an official act as a future president, then the Constitution demands that he face no consequences.

Reminder: there are no trade deals. Nothing binding was actually signed. 90% of news coverage you saw about “trade deals” was wildly misleading. It’s pretty weird. And it will get weirder as “deals” turn out to be not deals, actually.
JPMORGAN: “.. China’s soybean purchases are stalling, potentially putting the trade agreement at-risk, as the 13% tariff on soybeans makes Brazilian / Latin American alternatives more attractive. Further, the elevated purchases made by China in the recent months lowers demand ..”

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Thou shalt replace Chuck Schumer with Chris Van Hollen, who personally went to El Salvador to find Kilmar. That’s the kind of courage we need right now.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.
We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.
If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

OMFG this guy should have been out to pasture five years ago as he can't remember what happened the last few years. Does he seriously think thune is going to be better than mcconnell.
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now
