He surrendered his integrity a long time ago. When did these halfwits decide their highest aspiration in life was to be one of the bad guy extras in a real-life version of Mr Smith Goes to Washington?
When did it become cool to be a sleazebag?

The greed of the billionaires telling working people they don’t deserve healthcare or a living wage is hard for me to wrap my head around. We can have a system that lifts everyone. Isn’t that the American dream or is that gone?

It’s almost like one side doesn’t know how to America.

Zero real Americans have a problem with Zelenskyy not wearing a suit. It's like watching a scene from Mean Girls.

Yesterday I explained neoliberalism to my students. They hadn't heard of it.
Seems like the relevance of this Reagan-era Herblock cartoon has risen by 200%. Washington Post, 12/22/1988.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):
1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*
2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything
3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can
4. Citizens march en mass

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Kind of darkly funny that Trump privately is demanding that ICE arrest up to 1,500 immigrants each day, the same number of criminals he got released in one day simply because they carried out crimes on his behalf
