Jessica: This backfiring with the gerrymandering is a big deal. Trump asked Abbott to cheat for him. They try, they fail. And a Trump-appointed judge even helped with that. So now it looks like Republicans aren’t going to net any seats. It looks like Democrats could end up with an extra three seats.

Congrats to Maria Corina Machado who is the antithesis to Trump. I am very relieved that the Nobel Committee is sending a very clear message to the world, and won’t be bullied by tyrants

The breakdown of basic norms and the eroding of the most minimal expectations for civilized society is more egregious in the U.S. than anywhere else in the world. American voters would elect monkeys if given the chance.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.
