How many countless soldiers, sailors and marines were afraid while storming the beaches of Iwo Jima, Normandy and taking the field at Gettyburg and they definitely met "retaliation". Courage used to be an American trait with our leadership...what happened???
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R): "We are all afraid…I am oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice because retaliation is real."

An "Executive Order" is not law and has no legal basis of enforcement on the American public? How is the Trump administration able to "pull all federal education funding" when congress controls the purse strings???

Dictator Trump. The final test will be next year's congressional elections. If Democrats win a majority and Trump's FEC doesn't accept the election results then we will be in a full-on dictatorship and 249 years of democracy for this Republic will have ended.

The gov is right on here.
Pritzker: The question I ask is: if you’re willing to hand the keys to Europe over to Putin, what’s next? How does the US retain its leadership in the world when he’s essentially retreating to our own borders? He’s even made enemies of the Canadians—I can’t imagine anything more telling than that.
