"If Trump’s first term was marked by a level of graft and self-dealing that would have embarrassed a Tammany stalwart, then his second term seems to be an explicit effort to outpace his previous record and set a new high-water mark for political corruption in the [US]."

OK, I am even disappointed in ICE as fascists. They are such petty wimps. Misdemeanor prosecution of a sandwich thrower. #USA #politics

“I have few illusions. But I feel a responsibility to work towards the things I consider good and right. I don’t know whether I’ll be able to change certain things for the better, or not at all. There is only one thing I will not concede: that it might be meaningless to strive in a good cause.”

My brother is a retired MD in Memphis currently in Chile on an astronomy tour. He just said: Homeland Security Investigators came to my street. No one home. Blue lights flashing up and down my street with men in bullet proof vests and rifles knocking on my front door. #politics #USA #NoKings

I’m NOT endorsing her, but I do wonder if she might run as an independent for re-election. That would be awesome. We need to smash the duopoly. More independent candidates of all stripes might remove toxicity. #USA #politics #MTG

I would like to call an emergency mtg. of the American people, serious proposal. Maybe a virtual mtg. on our failing Constitution. Let’s not wait for a regular call from the states and start a national conversation of legal experts and us. #politics #USA #Constitution

Does anybody else feel like Chicago will explode when Trump moves on the city? I keep thinking of this line: ‘They put one of ours in the hospital. We put one of theirs in the morgue! That’s the Chicago way!!’ I think it’ll be worse than LA. #USA #politics #Chicago

Cannot believe NBC placed the Epstein Survivors news conference in the 4th segment. So cowed by Trump. BBC 10 minutes at the top. #Epstein #NBC #BBC Moving & credible statements from the women. Release the files!

Prediction: In Trump’s land swap, he’ll trade Alaska for Donetsk, Donbas and Crimea. Sanctions lifted, tunnel under the Bering Strait and free trade pact. Americans will be able to drive to Asia! Summer homes in Siberia! (I hope I am joking). #Alaska #Putin
