This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Thinking about how Trump loved to say “You’re not even going to have a country,” and realizing that was a campaign promise that he’s keeping.

Farewell @washingtonpost.com. I was a committed subscriber until this piece by your editorial board. No more. Just canceled. What a load of garbage. NIMBY reference is absurd in the context of The People’s House. Shame on you.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

If things weren’t bad enough already, Republicans in control of Congress are shutting down the government.
Why? Because Donald Trump opposes making health care more affordable for millions of Americans.

Way to sell your super important summit and the supposed leverage you claim you have by already downplaying it and saying they will probably have to have a second meeting now (when they haven’t even had the first one!). Trump is playing checkers. Putin is playing chess.

If it’s the Golden Age & everything is great & the economy is booming & Trump has ended all wars & slayed inflation & everyone is happy & drug prices are down & his approval is at 71% & everyone hates Dems, why would they need to do mid-decade gerrymandering to hold the House?

With a few days distance from this event, it reeks even worse.
If government data just becomes propaganda and the leader gets to make up whatever numbers he wants, it becomes impossible for a democracy to function. This is not a small moment.

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.
