It must be said that Putin must be the most successful KGB agent ever. From a weak country he's managed to manipulate the president of the USA into destroying the western alliance. I can't see how anyone else comes close.

I guess Trump forgot how he ended up in America. With thanks to his Nazi heritage.

Jacob Frey: "They're standing up for their neighbors. They're making sure they've got a ride to the grocery store, a safe walk to their car ... We got a whole lot of people that are afraid to go outside at the risk of getting torn apart from their own families."

Republicans are able to deny the truth that is right in front of them.

I almost envy them.

Trump's stupidity, unwillingness to learn, and insistence that he is always the smartest person in the room, is why he is failing again..

We’re in a moral fight, and Democrats in Congress need to start acting like the opposition party on every 👏🏽 damn 👏🏽 thing 👏🏽

Opposition isn’t about polite press releases and sad cable hits. It’s about using every procedural tool available to slow, expose, and force accountability.

More like copyright infringement.
