One-third of the Republicans in Congress: “I didn’t see it.”
Another third: “He was only joking.”
The last third: “I agree with him.”

When a President calls for the death of lawmakers protecting the oath military members take to the Constitution (NOT the President), you are watching a full-blown Constitutional Crisis. This is the ultimate test of our democracy. We cannot look away.

I am so freaking excited for this. The book was phenomenal. The first trailer was excellent. And this one had me smiling the whole time. Warning: do not watch if you haven't read the book and don't want spoilers. Also: TURN IT UP.

Just a reminder: there was a Biden administration investigation into Epstein and Maxwell's co-conspirators. Trump killed it in January, fired the prosecutors, stole the files, & ordered Bondi to open a new sham investigation, led by a handpicked prosecutor, so DOJ wouldn't have to release the files.

It's profoundly different to cover a U.S. president than state or local officials, and too, much harder to vent publicly if you're female. But if in my reporting days, if anyone from a police sergeant to the mayor of Baltimore told me, "Quiet, piggy," I'd immediately insist he go fuck himself.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

Working @ election precinct today. Turnout has been surprising for just city council & sch bd elections, but not unwelcome. Lots of voters volunteering their hatred of Trump and his policies (completely unbidden, bc pollworkers aren't allowed to discuss poltics). Go Blue!

So based on the current Supreme Court's decision, a Democratic President can personally decide to defund ICE.
Just thought I should point this out.

At the very least Democrats must be willing to expropriate Trump of every dime he made by profiting off the presidency.
