Oh look it’s NBC equivocating Trump’s clearly illegal troop action like it’s a debate about sports. Gutless #NBC. You helped elect him in 2016. Shame on you.

Warren: "Knock 15 million people off their coverage, drive up the cost for everyone else, close rural hospitals -- that's the Republican plan, because you know what the real heart of it was? They gave away a trillion dollars to the billionaires. That was the part that matters to them."

What would the reaction be if Democratic politicians went on TV every week to talk about how scary and dangerous Louisiana was, or how bleak and depressing life in rural Mississippi is, or how Oklahoma ranks last in education and “God, can you imagine being from there?”

3 months ago, Senator Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their golden retriever were shot and killed in their home in a politically motivated attack by a conservative Christian disguised as a police officer.
Not only was Trump golfing during her services, he doesn't even recognize her name.

Trump's dictator moves like calling in the national guard or ballooning the ice budget are designed to enrage you, but also to desensitize you to his authoritarian behavior. As Rick Wilson says, we can't let that happen:

White supremacist fascism isn’t just when you pardon violent terrorists who tried to overthrow democracy & savagely beat cops for a lie.
It’s when you do that, and then turn around and say, “Oh no, the problem is other people’s violence.”
