President Clinton is right. This is not getting as much attnetion as it should. The USA under Trumpstein is betraying this promise, which means any agreement involving Russia and the USA is not worth the paper it’s written on 🤷♂️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...

I do not envy the next Democratic president. The task of bringing all these criminals to justice while trying to piece back together the very foundations of our government and institutions will be daunting.

HUNT: Right. But insurance companies could refuse to cover you for a preexisting condition

A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents:
It does not provide immunity for prior crimes.
It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet.
Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.

More good news regarding Pretty Kitty Tad Meow (in photo). Since getting our new cat Wynter, Tad has not peed or pooped randomly on the floor. He wasn't sick, thankfully. Tad was lonely and acting out. We were hesitant to get another cat because he's 15. It's exactly what he needed, though.

We were doing it for 230 years before Con Man Trump showed up.
If the poor guy can't run the country with The People's representatives and impartial judges checking up on him like the previous 45 presidents did, then he can't run the country.

Your reminder that the ICE gestapo is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do.

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned
Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?
