The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

At the Civil Rights Museum today, I heard this musical rebuke to Richard Nixon written by Stevie Wonder.
I was struck by how much the words also apply to Trump.

Here’s one - no public company should be allowed to make a profit so long as a single employee is taking government assistance
The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time."

Wishing the injured National Guard a full recovery. No one signs up to be used as political pawns.
Nov 20 - a judge ruled Trump’s deployment was illegal. The court blocked him from sending troops into the District, with a 21 day pause for appeal.
Bottom line: the Guard shouldn’t have been in DC.

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?
The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.
But I won't back down — and neither should you.

40 years ago economy was the shit. You got: free meals, liquor, more cabin room, blanket and pillow and proper cutlery. Air travel used to be fun and exciting
This. A million bajillion percent
30 years ago you’d get a complimentary meal and free checked baggage
Today they charge you $20 for a sandwich and $50 more for your carry on
Worse: the airlines let the terrorists win

One time someone broke into my car, stole all of my change, a pair of basketball shoes, and not a single one of the CDs that they had pulled out my CD booklet and thrown around my backseat in what I assume was angry disappointment. Still messes with me.
Yes I’d feel a way if the driver thought my stuff wasn’t fly enough to steal.
This reminds me of the winter right after I moved into my house (closed in August, moved in right before October).
The FedEx and UPS drivers were opening boxes to decide if they wanted to steal your shit. One of my packages got delivered completely pried open.

Homeland Security is calling U.S. cities “sanctuary sewers.” The Trump regime wants Americans to hate other Americans. It’s deeply unpatriotic and must be stopped.

It’s a simple fix, really, but there’s no political will to do it.
Social Security is not dying. It is being starved. We need it, the rich do not. The cap that shields the wealthy from paying more is a wall made up of greed. Lift it & the system is reborn. Voters keep choosing those who serve the wealthy, then wonder why the table is empty. #ProtectSocialSecurity

I'm old enough to remember when "armed agents of the federal government raiding churches on Christmas" was not, in fact, a cornerstone of the Republican Party's agenda.
"Agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including ICE, ERO, and CBP intend to implement a comprehensive plan to target Spanish-speaking churches across the country during the upcoming holiday season between Thanksgiving, Nov. 27, and Christmas, Dec. 25."
Exclusive: Trump DHS Plans Immigration Raids on Churches Over Holidays
