That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Here's the thing re: our system of gov't.
The president isn't above other branches.
He doesn't "own" the gov't or the nation.
Our constitutional system of checks & balances is to insure 1 person can't drag the nation to ruin
We the People get to weigh in thru Congress.
Except now. When we don't.

No. Absolutely not‼️
This is exactly what shouldn’t happen. Farmers don’t get a bailout this time. Especially if they helped put Trump in office — they can suffer right along with the rest of us losing our businesses and livelihoods.
Trump needs to stop this tariff madness—instead of bailouts.

reporting on this has really got to get better about communicating the magnitude of the breach here. if you read the nyt article with minimal context, you would have no sense that this was watergate-level impeachable misconduct
President Trump has personally ordered the Justice Department to open an investigation of Democrats' primary ways for raising donations.
It is the third time he has personally ordered an open-ended criminal investigation, each against a perceived political foe.

Just a reminder how classic what we're seeing is:
1. redefine a group as a threat to civilization
2. reduce legal protections that they enjoy
3. abuse, threaten, harm, and/or relocate them
4. dismiss/ignore concerns about abuses and harms from the process
5. repeat steps 2-4, escalating each time

Trump signed an executive order that will delay Medicare price negotiations for a range of prescription drugs.
This will raise the price of life-saving medicine for millions of seniors and cost taxpayers money.
It's a big win for Big Pharma.
