We already have irreversible harm done to our country. What more are we going to take before we stop that orange baboon.
Between the shutdown, the drops in bitcoin and some speculative stocks, the electoral losses, and maybe a shift in the economy it does seem like Trump lost the new part of his coalition over the past month (plus some true believers like MTG):

The GOP's "healthcare plan" was repealing the ACA. Now they're mad about subsidies they enabled while blocking public options and boosting junk plans?

If they truly want to take on insurers, next stop: universal healthcare.

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you spread the word?

OMG, y’all. ROTFL🤣

It looks like Trump had crowd-size issues again.

What a fantastic way to close #ObamaDay

Please pass it on so others can see what an epic failure he is.

Manhandling a sitting US Senator is just the latest in a series of authoritarian moves by this Administration…Silencing your opposition from even asking a question.

They do this shit because they think they can get away with it.

Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

Trump's DOJ has granted Boeing a non-prosecution agreement over the 737 MAX crashes, despite the company's repeated attempts to deceive regulators. 

Boeing donated $1M to Trump's inauguration and has paid AG Pam Bondi's former lobbying firm at least $480K.

Follow the money.
