The next time someone tells you that America isn’t a sick & racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason, rape, and child abuse from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

I’m sick! This feels like November 5th.
How badly do you have to fuck up being the Democratic leader that Trump is praising and congratulating you????

Someone please explain how anyone can be undecided about what is happening to our democracy. I get the 33% are MAGA and the 19% are complicit Republicans but undecided? Coma patients?
