We have a president that hates the main principles that the United States was founded upon.

We have a president that hates the majority of the citizens of the U.S.

We have a president that is waging war against me and against you!

That Trump got away with his mishandling (theft?) of classified documents is bad enough but that he then uses classified documents as an excuse to go after his opponents is just… no words. We live in the worst timeline.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I asked Trump's former OMB director Mick Mulvaney to acknowledge it's a lie that undocumented immigrants get ACA subsidies (they don't), and he ended the interview.

"Would you agree that not a single dime of ACA subsidies goes toward undocumented immigrants?"

"I'm not gonna do this anymore."

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

You are a blight on the legal profession, Clarence. Precedents obviously can be overturned, or Plessy v Ferguson would still be followed. But you know, or should know, that stare decisis enables a degree of stability in the law, vs changes w/ each administration.
