"The Indiana GOP slapping down Trump's push for the state to redraw its Congressional map mid-cycle was a remarkable rebuke of the president, and another data point showing his complete and total power over the Republican Party is starting to wane." - Carlo Versano, Newsweek's Director of Politics.

The US voted with Russia, China and N. Korea against most of the civilized world. This is where we are at.

The key question in American politics now is whether public disapproval of Trump will grow fast enough to save our democracy before Trump builds such a crushing dictatorship that public opinion no longer matters.

The children who get measles because their parents are selfish idiots do not deserve this. This is why mandating vaccines is important.

When your child asks why they are suffering, why they have gone deaf, blind or died because you let them get the measles---I hope you know it is your fault.
Latest on South Carolina measles outbreak: "Of the 111 measles cases recorded in that area...105 involved people who were unvaccinated while three involved those who were partially vaccinated...At least 254 people had been placed in quarantine as of Tuesday"
Hundreds quarantined as South Carolina measles outbreak accelerates
A state epidemiologist said the spike in cases came in the wake of Thanksgiving travel and a lack of vaccinations. At least 16 cases were traced to a church.

Trump hates Europe’s democracies because they have universal health care, a strong social welfare system and heavy unionization.

He prefers MBS’s Saudi Arabia, where one trillionaire family runs a brutal dictatorship.

What a betrayal of American values!

And to think there are media organizations that still refuse to call Trump a pathological liar.
“I’d have no problem releasing the video”

“I didn’t say that, you said that. Fake news.”

5 days apart 😬

Elections have consequences. A man like this never belonged near the levers of power. Not the first time. And certainly not this second time when everything was knowable. We are trapped in a tragedy and must fight our way out.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Trump has demanded that the International Criminal Court amend its founding document to ensure it doesn't investigate him and his top officials, threatening new U.S. sanctions on the court if it does not.

Cause nothing says ‘I’m innocent’ like threatening a court if it tries to look at you.

Total arbitrariness and vile racism. That's America today.
ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.

Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.

Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

I know we’ve been talking about the 25th Amendment being invoked for years now, but we should probably be talking about it a lot more and a lot more seriously right now.
Couple of things here:

1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently

2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"

3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"

4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you
