Let's call this what it is. "The White House is trying to extort nine major universities."
The White House is asking nine major universities to commit to President Donald Trump’s political priorities in exchange for more favorable access to federal money.

Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.

Profoundly embarrassing in many ways. Is he actively drooling while speaking? Is he high?
TRUMP: President Stubb of Finland. He's uh, somebody that, where are we here? Huh?
STUBB: I'm right here
TRUMP: Oh.
STUBB: I'm right here
TRUMP: Oh.

Seriously disappointed in Schumer. It's past time to get serious about new leadership.
I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

I agree. Anyone with any size public or private platform should get a jump on the midterms and call out the GOP daily. "Enabling a national tragedy" is a good talking point to begin with.
"Republican senators had the chance to matter, and they chose not to step up. Instead they are enabling a national tragedy. It’s time for them to be exposed, called out, and defeated." Never too early.

Women can and should serve in the military. They can also be good mothers, partners, citizens. You know, like some men can be ludicrously unqualified for their jobs, and at the same time manage to sexually assault women, be raging alcoholics, AND be white nationalists. Multi-tasking! It's a thing.
