Although Trump’s abhorrent political beliefs are ultimately more damaging to the nation, his reprehensible personality is more shocking to me on a personal level.
I can’t fathom how anyone can support someone who is so obviously a terrible human being.

Tomorrow, Republicans have a chance to vote to prevent 24 million Americans’ premiums from spiking.
If they really care about affordability, this is the single easiest and most important vote to support. Somehow, I doubt they’ll do it.

Congress just gave $900 billion to the US military in case you were wondering if there were any repercussions for blowing up civilian ships on the high seas. Meanwhile, the FIFA peace participation trophy guy still manages to keep the Epstein list out of the headlines.

A major case was decided last week against a Georgia ban on gender affirming care for transgender people who are incarcerated.
The previous policy was cruel, forcing medical detransition.

You don’t need to be a Democrat to know this is wrong — you just need a conscience. If you can hear what these people survived in ICE custody and feel no outrage, then we are not standing on the same side of right and wrong.

1. For weeks, EITM has reported that Republicans would push a trans healthcare ban in their ACA negotiations.
Now, the plan is released, and it includes heavy restrictions on ACA plans, a medicaid ban, an EHB ban, and more.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
