Every move they make to try to intimidate us into silence is backfiring in spectacular fashion, and will amplify our response.

The world may see us as self-important, arrogant, indignant and stubborn - and they're right - but that might just be our saving grace here.

Ribbit ribbit, mother fuckers.

Three things happening at once:

1. Gutting of disease control/ monitoring mechanisms
2. Destruction of health care
3. TrumpRX

Sick and dying desperate people are great for business.

Yes, it's really happening.

I feel lucky to have two senators, Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla, who have proven they are up to the task of protecting their constituents from the orange one even at great personal cost.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."
