I'm tired of being embarrassed by Republicans.
Outlet Berlingske reports that Lindsey Graham called Danish Prime Minister a "little lady" during a meeting in Munich on Saturday. "Eyewitnesses describe Graham's "rant" as extremely degrading to both Denmark and Greenland."

The FBI has not released all the evidence it has on this victim or her allegations against Trump. Her story was credible enough to be used to sue Epstein successfully and help convict Ghislaine Maxwell. Why can't the world see an unredacted 302 report?

Appalling: During Trump's effort to indict Dems for the video warning against carrying out illegal orders, one of their lawyers asked prosecutors to say what statute was allegedly violated, I'm told. They failed to name one. Then they tried to indict anyway.

Next week, Trump will deliver his State of the Union address. I won't be there.

Trump is marching America towards fascism, and I refuse to normalize his shredding of our Constitution & democracy.

This cannot be business as usual.

Surely the Legislature can find a way to work together this session — just as thousands of average citizens found their collective power with whistles and cellphones, columnist Rochelle Olson writes.

This. Insanity. Trump is threatening war in order to advance talks in order to achieve a weaker deal with Iran than the one we had that he broke because it had been negotiated under Obama.
It is shocking how close Trump has taken us to the brink of war with Iran without any significant debate.

Diplomacy in Geneva could provide an offramp to delay a confrontation. But the odds favor continued confrontation, not a breakthrough.
🚨 With the attention of Congress and the public otherwise occupied, there has been little public debate about what could be the most consequential U.S. military intervention in the Middle East in at least a decade.
