I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

When you understand that the contemporary Republican Party is little more than the Confederate government-in-exile finally seizing power after 160 years, you realize that there's no "snapping people out of it" because it's what they've wanted for over a century.

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

Trump promised no new business deals with foreign governments. He lied.

Big emotions today and yesterday in Vicksburg MS during the final demobilization of the AmeriCorps NCCC members. A lot of people don't know anything about this program. But the people here have done so much good for Americans, and would've done more if they hadn't been so cruelly forced home.
