This administration seems unmoved by art.

There is no Shakespeare in their language, no Baldwin in their conscience, no Springsteen on their radios, no Swift in their playlists.

And when leaders feel nothing for beauty, it’s the soul of a nation that suffers.

Shutting down the House is not a strategy. It’s an abdication. A failure. And yes, an embarrassment. Even MTG is calling out the GOP for shutting down the government.

Republicans have had ample opportunities to defend the Constitution but they've been found wanting.

No one is safe in a society like the one this administration is building where justice bends to power and dissent invites prosecution.

Today it’s their political enemies.

Tomorrow it could be anyone.

Watergate is around the corner.

The indictments of James Comey and Letitia James mark a deeply troubling moment for the integrity of our justice system.

When prosecutorial power is used to punish political adversaries, the courts themselves become weapons.

I expect Republicans to join us in objecting to these indictments.

If seeing the video of a pastor being shot in the head with a pepperball and pepper-sprayed in the face up close doesn't change this debate just a little, I don't know what will...Of course it's not on Fox or NewsMax...
