So proud of my small little town protesting on the busy street near me! Thank you to all those folks in Indiana standing against the fascists in the state and country!

I mean, don't get your hopes up. It's clear all these systems, rules and laws we have in place to prevent dumbass presidents from gaining and keeping office - from the Electoral College to the 25th amendment - only work if people "feel like it."
If a deranged president intentionally destroying the country's economy with a ludicrous obsession (and misunderstanding) of tariffs *isn't* justification for invoking the 25th Amendment, I honestly can't imagine any scenario that would be.

"Goldman Sachs said Donald Trump's plan would make things worse"
America, you f**ked up!

She warned us. She had a plan that would have benefited everyday Americans. But too many ignored her—because it was never really about the economy.

Now folks are scared, struggling—and we’re cooked.

"Booker can help rebrand his party as less risk-averse and more willing to try … something. He can rebrand himself, just as the old and ineffective guard falters. Booker’s speech was raw and visceral and real and angry. He did something. Now his colleagues and American voters must do more."
Cory Booker’s 25-Hour Speech Was a Stunt. It Worked.
The New Jersey senator’s display of stamina wasn't just for the Democratic base. It was a message to his colleagues in the Senate.

I called and left a message to tell him what I thought of him.

You might be inclined to do the same.

Do you think there's been enough damage by the Republicans at this point that the Democrats will get a supermajority in a couple of years? God I hope so. And it better not be "we're going to be responsible and not push anything through" this time.

At best, President Trump’s blanket actions today seem set to inevitably raise costs for Michiganders. At worst, they further us down the road to recession.

Neither of these options are one Michiganders can afford.
