🎩 It’s truly disgusting watching republicans, twist themselves into pretzels trying to defend Trump
Seriously it’s not a good look for any of you
It’s time to admit you never should have supported such a horrible man
Chuck him under the bus so we can all move on from this nightmare!

OK. This is the psychologist in me, perhaps. But as all this comes out and through all the likely denial, how is Ivanka feeling right now? Cognitive dissonance can be tough for victims in denial. I’m not sure I feel sorry for her however.

Restore government today and get Trumps signature. Then release the files… all of them and today. And then move to impeach next week, while everyone is absorbing the scope of the global scandal.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Washington and global trust in US as an ally has been destroyed by unofficial acts of our current President. Daily changes in tariffs and war posture, to disrupt global commerce. How do we avoid more reductions in our bond ratings and global equity markets due to the President’s erratic behavior?

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:
“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

Is the imposition of a tariff an official act of the President or is he liable for damages from this unauthorized behavior ? Sue him Canada!

I wish the Supreme Court would clarify when the president’s erratic and irrational behavior is an official act of the president or one that he can be personally liable for.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.
It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

Someone has to stop this. The lasting damage he is doing to this country is incalculable. The scope of his destruction of our institutions really hit home watching the White House being torn up. He’s going to make a bigger mess on the way out too…

Impressive turnout at No Kings rally in Lexington MA, filling the Battle Green. Ed Markey, Bill McKibben and numerous others raised their voices in dissent against the regime. Hope the turnout is just as strong everywhere today.
