This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

More than seven years ago I wrote that we in America are going to need a South Africa style Commission. "In a step towards restorative justice, South Africa took the unusual step of forming the Truth and Reconciliation Commission." It is even more imperative today.

Some times in America we have the exact right President in office to lead in crucial moments (i.e. Lincoln). But at other times we have the exact wrong President in office (i.e. Andrew Johnson). Today we have the worst President in our history in office at a most crucial moment.

Today in 1963, 4 young girls are killed by white racists as a bomb explodes during Sunday morning services in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL: Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson & Carol Denise McNair. Hateful thoughts lead to hateful words lead to hateful actions.

Trump approval has reached new low in latest PEW poll. His approval is 38 to 60 disapproval, a net -22. He is down among all groups, even falling a bit among GOP where he was a high of 95% in Jan., and is now at 85%. His numbers are worse now than they were in the 2018 midterms when Dems won big.

I called for the full release of the Epstein Files a month ago because of my suspicion that AG Pam Bondi was concealing the files to protect Donald Trump.
Now my suspicion has been confirmed.

I think we are well past that point already. But as I started saying two and a half months ago, the administration will at some juncture openly state that it is defying court orders. And that will happen very soon.
At what point does defying court orders signal to the populace, the government, and the remaining institutions that this needs to be stopped now?
