It’s really interesting to see which government officials and members of Congress are comfortable publicly writing on social media that they’re fine with service members carrying out unlawful orders and abandoning The Constitution. Someone should start a list.

Merrick Garland had a chance to do this with Trump.
But Garland took a process-first, no-vision approach. He followed a set of bad rules often created by Republicans.
We need leaders now and in the next DOJ.

I went shopping today and for the first time since Mango came on the scene people were friendly. Downright nice even. People smiling and saying thank you and excuse me. Chatting each other up in the checkout line. It seems that people are tired of being angry. A small dose of hope. #hopeisanaction
