Trump is scum.
People who work for Trump are scum.
People who voted for Trump are scum.
There are no "good" #MAGA

Imagine opening a letter saying your health insurance costs are about to rise by thousands, even tens of thousands, next year.

That’s the reality for millions of Americans later this month if we don’t extend ACA tax credits.

I won’t stand by while people are priced out of the care they need.

Sen. Adam Schiff: I can tell you this: Those of us on the president's enemies list — and it is a long and growing list — will not be intimidated. We will not be deterred, we will do our jobs, we will stand up to this president."

A US friend checks in with me to see if W Europeans will need explanations on who or what specific US terms are when he writes. Yesterday he asked me how crazy ‘Europeans*’ think the US is. This was in relation to the UN designated genocide in Gaza.

I had to explain I had bad news for him. [1]

Fun Fact: no President of the United States has “plenary authority.”

The Constitution was written and structured to avoid EXACTLY THAT!!

People who publicly state otherwise violate the oath of office and should be removed.

They are incompatible with the idea of fealty to the Constitution.

A high level MAGAT was arrested for sexual abuse. Penalties need to be severely harsher for MAGATs who abuse kids and ruin their lives. Stop the wrist-slapping, throw them in a dark, rancid prison cell for life, no parole, no nothing. They’ve ruined lives, so it should be for theirs. Cc Gym Jordan.
