One of the most remarkable things of the last 9 months is how many Americans seem to believe the President is all powerful and Congress has no say.
Actually Congress has been ineffective by choice. It has immense power if it had the courage to use it.

An immigration detention center in Florida known as Alligator Alcatraz can remain open and the government can resume sending detainees there, after a federal appeals court ruled on Thursday against a lower court’s decision effectively shutting down the facility.
Appeals Court Says ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ Detention Center Can Stay Open
An appeals panel paused a federal judge’s ruling that no additional detainees could be sent to the center, and that much of it had to be dismantled within 60 days.

We won’t notice it at first

Maybe an outbreak of cholera in southwest Kansas goes undetected

Perhaps the number of flu related deaths ticks up just a bit each year

But-ultimately, inexorably-the destruction of the CDC will lead to countless deaths

All because of two men

Who's worse?

The monsters who slaughter school children?

Or the Republican monsters who watch school shootings happen over and over and over, and continue to take NRA blood money to do nothing about it?

You probably pay more in federal income taxes than some of America’s biggest, most profitable corporations.

It’s not right — and we cannot afford to let it continue.

You don’t need to guess where the Republican Party’s soul went. It’s sitting in silence while Trump offers sympathy to a sex trafficker who enabled Epstein named Maxwell. This isn’t about politics. It’s about who still gives a damn about right and wrong.
