This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Two lawyers, one Yale educated, one Harvard educated; one the VP, one a senator, suggesting that decisions made by courts aren’t legitimate if they don’t like the outcome. This is dangerous territory.

Yes. More like this please.
Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

It’s pretty insane that a private citizen can come in, hijack federal government servers, fire people, and steal their PII.

We say that people don't notice constitutional regime collapse because it comes on too slowly but I'm not sure how much faster it could be happening; we are literally at concentration camps on day 9.

Once they normalize breaking the rules to go after people who are not citizens of this country, their next phase will be to go after people who are "not the right kind of citizens".

By then it will be too late to stop them.

Don't let them normalize any of it.

We need to say the words. This is a coup. This is a constitutional crisis. This is unacceptable. This is stealing from the people. This is fascism.
I remember when in Trump.1 journalists kept wondering whether we were in a constitutional crisis. Well, THIS IS A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS. Trump is shutting down our government. Where is the outrage in media? Where are the Democrats? Where are the demonstrations?
Can The New York Times no longer speak English? The autocrat is illegally withholding funds to destroy government. What is that "partisan ideology"? Totalitarianism. Fascism. Get a dictionary, #BrokenTimes. Say the words.

Libs: "Black Lives Matter"

Conservatives: "All Lives Matter"

Conservatives, again: "Maybe not all Lives, but definitely Blue Lives Matter"

Conservatives, yet again: "Well not all Blue Lives, but at least Officers who Support the Convicted Felon Lives Matter"

ICE arrested US citizens for deportation last night

That was no mistake — it was INTENTIONAL

Trump has made it clear: legal immigrants aren’t safe, naturalized citizens aren’t safe, and even citizen military veterans aren’t safe

It’s ETHNIC CLEANSING — 100% UNCONSTITUTIONAL

As part of our new commitment to balance, the LA Times will be accompanying its fire coverage with right-wing editorials claiming the snowflake Hollywood liberals had it coming.

Here's an idea: instead of quoting Trump's outlandish remarks, quote the RESPONSES from credible folks, like this response to remarks about a "water shortage" while fighting the California wildfires. From www.latimes.com/california/s...

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.
