The president is establishing the principle that he can order the murder of anyone he deems a threat.
And Congress is letting it happen.

Paging every GOP member of Congress to remedial constitutional literacy class, stat

trump is demolishing our national symbols and selling the country for scrap to his corrupt donors

I am going to be sending angry paper letters to all the donors on the Trump list saying "why did you pay to demolish the historic White House East Wing without taxpayer consent?" not because I think this is the most important thing, but...

Anyone still defending this guy is in serious Homer Simpson "It's just a little airborne — it's still good! It's still good!!" territory

And this woman she interviewed now seems to get it

Trump just said they’re going to demolish the *entire* East Wing to make room for his ballroom.

So much for the idiots in my mentions saying it was just a wall.

Trump wants us to believe he's unstoppable

But social scientists have found that 52% of all attempts to build autocracies are relatively quickly reversed by democratizing "U-Turns" — and, within the last 30 years, this number has risen to 73%

BOUIE: “.. he is working as hard as possible to divide this country against itself. But if we can take any sign from the public’s escalating response.. it is that Trump just may, in the end, remind Americans of the vital power of acting together ..”

Still people holding onto these very mid books. Ya your childhood & some shit but there's a million great books to read now and replace anything tied to supporting a nasty transphobic asshat like rowling with better characters and story, get the fuck over it and stop crying about its from childhood

Stop saying “renovation.”

Better words:
Desecration
Violation
Demolition
Destruction
Retribution
Vanity-wrecking-ball

Hoo boy.

This is an important detail in the story about Platner. Great admiration for Genevieve McDonald for standing up for what’s right.

Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans.

BREAKING: Paul Ingrassia withdraws nomination after racist texts surface. But he's still a White House liaison to the Department of Homeland Security on a taxpayer-funded salary. He should be removed from all govt service immediately as unfit & unhinged.
