Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

👿 #DonaldTrumpsShutdown isn’t about budgets. It’s about cruelty. He shut the government down rather than extend ACA subsidies that keep millions insured. They keep platinum coverage on the taxpayer dime while the poor pay the price. This isn’t governance. It’s punishment.

Donald Trump's Shutdown — Punishing America to Kill Our Healthcare
The government is shut down because Trump and his GOP enablers refused to extend healthcare subsidies millions rely on. They get platinum-level coverage for free — we get pink slips, higher premiums,

It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.

The number of people who told me last year that ‘it can’t get any worse for Gaza.’
But it always could get worse, things can always get worse- and they have.
We are now witnessing an official, full-blown, US-approved famine in Gaza.
Shameful.

A couple of interesting things about the Ghislaine Maxwell/Todd Blanche audio recording: it's not one continuous recording. It's broken up into 7 parts on day one, and 4 parts on day two. Further, Todd Blanche says he spoke to Maxwell off the record for several minutes before the recording. 1/

Every tyrant in history has sought to stifle criticism of himself and his regime.
But America was founded on criticism.
American democracy was built on dissent.
Every institution, group, firm, or individual that surrenders to Trump’s wanton tyranny invites more of it.

I am so tired of the lawlessness, chaos and bullying! EVERYONE is entitled to due process whether Trump likes it or not. It is time for the people to assert our authority. It is time for congressional republicans to do their jobs and stand for the rule of law. It is time to take stand.
