In any other administration, the chaos around a sham ‘peace plan’ + a cabinet member having a sleazy affair with a journalist who wrote about them would be major scandals.
In the Trump presidency, it’s just another Saturday.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Momentum is a real thing.

Democrats finally had some, after massive turnouts for #NoKings and resounding wins in both red and blue states last week.

The majority of the country, rightfully so, held Trump and the GOP accountable for the government shutdown.

Another excellent thread on Judge Ellis ruling on the behavior of ICE thugs in Chicago
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just took the bench. She's expected to rule on a request for a preliminary injunction governing the use of force by federal agents in Chicago.
Good morning. Back in the courtroom of U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis, who is expected to rule in 20 minutes on the use of force by federal agents against protesters and journalists in Chicago.

Read this entire excellent thread. Judge Ellis states that in Chicago ICE & DOJ lied, harmed people without being provoked, made things up, and repeatedly violated First Amendment protections.
ICE must be stopped now.
