We are not in a war. Killing soldiers on a street corner in D.C. is an act of war only if you are a legitimate combatant. Calling it terrorism is charitable; it is simply murder. It is also what I've been worried about for weeks. Soldiers on the street can't police. All they do is present a target.

There is a reason why Witkoff did not want any officials with the State Dept or anyone else present during his many meetings w/Putin - he didn’t want witnesses to his treasonous behavior. Highly unusual, but makes perfect sense when you consider that he only cared about Russia.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Trump now wants what the Democrats wanted on health care. Just one problem: his party.
Some 24 million Americans are in a jam thanks to his carelessness.

#endthegop as they don't deserve to politically survive the disaster they, themselves, have created and foisted upon ALL of us.
Once again, the "gop" showing the world how, exactly, self serving these ghouls are. Don't stay and fight the very monster YOU created, but take your millions and RUN to save your own skin.

How very droll.
