We really need a constitutional amendment to limit presidential pardon power even if it is only possible to pass it after Trumpโs term. The founders obviously never envisioned any president using it this brazenly and corruptly while remaining impervious to impeachment.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.
These arenโt acts of benevolence or patriotism.
This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.
Every American should reject it.
Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.
It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.
It corrupts our political system every day.

Beaming radiantly the joy of being righteous and kind at the same time. Her eyes closed almost to a squint, and every pearly white on display. Gods bless you, Molly, you were a hell of a person.
My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote:
"I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."
If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:
โGun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings
โMore guns don't make us safer
โA majority of Americans want gun reform
We don't have to live like this.
Yeah, Republicans, it's the damn guns.
You can deny it, but that's simply the truth.
And if you won't commit to doing anything about it, then yeah, it's you too.
We have a brutal, sickening, heartbreaking gun problem in Americaโand youโre it.
