“I could no longer bear to be silent,” says retired federal judge Mark Wolf, who quit his lifetime seat to warn about Trump’s threat to democracy. It’s part of a broader movement which Wolf hopes will “create this tidal wave that will be sufficient to sustain our democracy.” #Velshi
The judge who quit to save democracy and ‘send a ripple of hope’
Former federal judge Mark Wolf resigned his lifetime seat to warn that Donald Trump threatens American democracy. His departure is part of a wider pattern inside government, with DOJ attorneys leaving in record numbers and some National Guard soldiers refusing what they say are unlawful orders. These acts point to a systemic crisis of faith and to a growing movement of judges, civil servants, and citizens determined to defend the American experiment as it nears its 250th year. “I hope I'm sending out a ripple of hope, and it will merge with these other ripples,” Wolf says. “And together create this tidal wave that will be sufficient to sustain our democracy.”

Trump's recently proposed 50-year mortgages are being pitched as a way to address the crisis of housing affordability. But this plan is nothing more than a consumer debt trap. Decades of Wall Street practices have turned homeownership into a luxury good. #Velshi
How decades of government failure and Wall Street investments made housing so unaffordable
After Democrats scored big wins in this month's elections running on affordability, Trump has started talking about the issue. But his new proposal of 50-year mortgages isn't only a terrible deal, but it does nothing to address the broken system that's made homeownership out of reach for many Americans.

Matt Stoller: How 'oligarchs' and 'extraction' fueled America's housing crisis
Home ownership is now out-of-reach for many Americans. “Homes are for people to live in,” says Matt Stoller of the American Economic Liberties Project, but he warns big landlords are "building homes for money, not people." President Trump claims to care about home affordability, but Stoller insists his administration is actually "on the side of oligarchs."

"Resuming nuclear testing looks weak and petulant, not strong and confident," writes Tom Nichols. "No American president should ever let the Kremlin get under his skin—especially not where nuclear weapons are concerned."

No Senator has an obligation to vote for a budget that pays the bills for the destruction of our democracy or throws millions off their health care.
This is a moment for Democrats in Congress to draw a moral line in the sand.
