Brought to you by the Republican Congress.

They will be voting again on Friday to steal even more from us to fund Trump's Gestapo.

It's impossible to keep up with every crime that Trump commits, and the Republican Congress just sits there allowing it.

Not only complicit but co-conspirators.

I think it’s really important for European governments and heads of state to keep making all of Trump’s unhinged utterances public. Put it all out there for the world to see.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

I'm a pretty wonderful neighbour. Some might even say a delightful neighbour. But since my neighbour Steve didn't get me a birthday gift this year I am going to invade his house. Because that's how being a sane adult works.

Nothing to see here folks, just a sitting president investing in two companies whose merger he claims sole authority to approve or reject. Totally normal! 🙃

Trump keeps yelling “insurrection” in Minnesota like he forgot January 6 — the one he actually incited.

Terrorizing communities and calling in troops isn’t law and order. It’s authoritarianism.

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.

“There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

"If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU."

"Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.
