Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

The Trump administration has deported a 2-year old U.S. citizen to one of the most violent countries in the world.
Why does the House Republican majority continue to enable this disgusting, unchristian-like behavior?
These people are unfit to govern.
New AP-Norc poll is first major poll with Trump's job approval in the 30s, 39%-59% (-20).

βThe moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy, and the handicapped.β

Democrats should be leveraging the 250th, especially next year's Independence Day anniversary, for the midterm elections. The language of resistance, rights, and freedom is tailor-made for the present moment. Embrace it!

They disappeared a barber who entered the US legally and had committed no crime.
He was immediately tortured in a Salvadoran prison as he cried out for his mother.
Itβs the Trump Administration that is not only breaking the law by denying people due process, but committing crimes against humanity.
And we're just getting started

Elon Muskβs new haircut very closely resembles a style popular during Germanyβs Third Reich.
Itβs a Nazi haircut.
In Nazi Germany, a version of this haircut which was long on top but shaved at the back and sides was popular among the Wehrmacht β Hitlerβs army of soldiers.
During the pastβ¦
The reality here is very simple: Trump thinks there is no limit on his power, that he can spend money how he likes, jail who he likes, rule by fiat, criminalize criticism of himself. He is breaking the law and ignoring the Constitution. And we can either acknowledge that or keep pretending he isnβt.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.
