They just straight up nominate Nazis now.

It is unclear if there are more than one or two Republicans willing to stand up to Nazism.

There are no words left to describe how far this country has fallen.

We can only use analogs from other countries, or else go back to the 1850s here.

Trump nominee says MLK Jr. holiday belongs in ‘hell’ and that he has ‘Nazi streak,’ according to texts

Paul Ingrassia’s bid to lead a whistleblower agency is set for a Senate confirmation hearing Thursday.

In 2012, Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli voted against same-sex marriage.

On October 21, 2013, 12 years ago today, gay marriage was legally recognized by the courts.

Just a few days ago, Jack's campaign publicly stated its desire to ban same-sex marriage again.

Not on my watch.

The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had proof, they’d face a court, not a drone.

The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.

The NYT is reporting that Donald Trump is demanding $230 Million from the DOJ for past cases against him.

That means...he's suing us. Because that's who would pay for it.

Sue the fuck out of ICE.

ICE was hit with a $50million lawsuit after an incident in VanNuys, CA in September when a 79 yr old car wash owner was slammed to the ground after asking ICE masked agents for a warrant for taking away 2 employees. The 79 yr old was slammed to the ground& had head, neck, shoulder injuries.

TRUMP (FIRST TERM): Look at me! I'm refusing my $400,000 presidential salary—and only making tens of millions shaking down foreign nationals at my DC hotel!

TRUMP (SECOND TERM): Put $230 million in an unmarked bag or the country gets a *fucking* shiv in the jugular. Schnell! Schnell, motherfucker!

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.
