It turns out a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and financial fraudster does not make for a good President.

We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

From who? You asshat.
This. I’ve been saying this for months. Less than 1/3!
Donald Trump won less than half of the popular vote—which, given the turnout, amounts to less than one-third of registered voters. His margin of victory was the tightest since 2000, the fourth tightest since 1940.
So no, despite everything Trump claims, he does not have a "mandate" for any of this.

He's hardly the first president to claim he represents the people's will—or God's. But he might be the most brazen.

If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other. ~ Ulysses S. Grant

Folks are frustrated with Dems in Congress right now.
Here’s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings.
I love town halls, but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them.
Get local media there.
Make it real.

To the DOJ/FBI who remain,
Your new bosses are going to order you to do unconstitutional things. Unlawful things. Things to achieve their fascist agenda.
Claiming "you were only following orders" did not cut it at the Nuremberg trials.
It will not work here either.
Proceed accordingly.

You’re not at the White House to be popular. You’re not there to make friends. If you need a friend, then get a dog.
Do your job. Be ready to go to jail, lose your job and your access to do it. Otherwise, you’re part of the problem.

Halt every nominee, stall every bill, file every lawsuit under the sun, and call for impeachment and removal at a constant. Every single day, there needs to be some sort of major action.
