The thing that really gets me is how the GOP Congress has just abdicated their responsibilities given to them by the constitution to be a balance on the executive.
No, they are too scared of Trump’s bullying & frightened to lose their jobs.
This too, is part of our constitutional crisis.

"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."

More bullshit.
Donald Trump, you can’t shut down the Dept. of Education — and you know it. Fox News even knows it. So stop it.
We know you’re just trying to wear us out. But for the record, I am not overwhelmed. My zone isn’t flooded.
I will fight your illegal behavior until the cows come home.

When Hitler started ranting about the Jews from streetcorners in the 1920s, he was part of a long history of European anti-Semitism.
But where in the world did this massive anti-trans campaign come from? I feel like it was invented out of whole cloth in the last five years.

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.
This is a campaign of eradication.

A massive assault on the first amendment is well underway. The GOP pretends to stand for free speech even as they take unprecedented steps to undermine it.
New, from me: you were told that the threats to free speech came from wokeness. Some compared it to Maoist China.
Now we are witnessing government power being used to silence dissent and censor ideas. Now we know what real society-wide chilling effects look like. 🧵

You forgot option C, which is that they’re genuinely afraid of retribution from him and his fans, so they’re refusing to employ anything above a token defense to protect their own asses.

so the plan from senior democrats is to not fight. quietly let a madman do whatever he wants and hope we can salvage the pieces in 4 years.

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor.
The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes!

Showing up in numbers that can’t be hidden or explained away. Marching in the streets. Testifying by the hundreds. Letting lawmakers know we see them and we know.
