But what is Congress doing? Are they swarming red districts in-person with facts? Are they abandoning decorum and protocol, since those no longer matter, and calling out the Administration fully and explicitly, every single chance they get in front of a mic? Are they screaming from the rooftops?

Also, Witkoff:

“We have supported and financially backed this genocide and don’t care at all that the Israelis demolished Gaza and killed and tortured tens of thousands of women and children, because now we want peace. So, we are the world’s saviors and I will now fellate President Trump!”

Imagine if athletes and musicians and entertainers got together and said they refused to play/perform/work until Congress returned to work, the Epstein files were released and ICE was reigned in.

It would 100% work.

Must be nice to instead live with diamond-blinders on.

His Administration knows he’s cooked. They are simply manipulating him for their own goals. He is their puppet. They will never admit to his decline.

This is a problem.

When ROs and laws that are issued are not being followed, there is literally nothing else (peaceful) that can be done.

He has basically deputized far-right criminals and given them unlimited money, and let them terrorize and disappear American citizens.

The Administration and GOP are complicit.

Also, why are we glazing a guy (Trump) who first allowed and supported and bankrolled the destruction of Gaza and the heinous murdering of countless people, including children?

We just need Obama to post a congratulatory tweet to Marina Corina Machado and welcome her to the globally-recognized club.

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

Seriously, people, how can a guy who takes a roaring economy and destroys it in 8 months, all while tying-up kids with zip ties in the middle of the night and firing all women and people of color from high-level positions, not win the Nobel Peace Prize? I mean, WTAF?!!

"Internationalism generally believes that humans should unite across national, political, cultural, racial, or class boundaries to advance their common interests, or that governments should cooperate because their mutual long-term interests are of greater importance than their short-term disputes"
