Trump wants a confrontation, wants to see the situation erupt. No American president should behave like this. No kings.

The Sharks Circling the Boat From Marc | Donald Trump’s β€œflood the zone” strategy is designed to overwhelm us.

Trump is the greatest threat to our democracy. His attacks on lawyers and law firms are damaging our boat. If he can simply defy court orders, the boat will sink entirely. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Today in history, 1933: The German Reichstag passes the Enabling Act, overriding constitutional checks and balances and giving Hitler and his Cabinet the power to make and enforce laws. It was the pivotal step in Germany’s transition to a Nazi dictatorship. /1

At every Town Hall people should ask their Republican representatives if this mass destruction of the Federal Government is not a prerequisite to voting a 4 trillion dollar tax break for the wealthiest Americans? Get them to commit that they will vote NO on the tax cuts that will increase the debt!

Smoke and mirrors in Cuba They are all lying but they got the pictures and that's what matters

I’m amazed how little coverage this story has gotten. They’ve burned well over $16 million to briefly hold 290 immigrants and several photo ops to GITMO. Just a total train wreck and they didn’t even mention it officially. Check out my latest.

Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

Pretty distressed at how Dems are responding to this bill to let Trump get another term. It’s an attack on democracyβ€”not a meme generator related to a third Obama term (the bill precludes that anyway, and Obama doesn’t want one) or a chance to joke about Trump aging.

It is. An attack. On democracy.

Trump’s team told the staff at HHS, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health, (NHI) to *stop* issuing health advisories, scientific reports, and updates to their websites and social media posts.

Let’s see - I’m being sentenced for 34 felonies on Friday, I’ve nominated a bunch of unschooled idiots for my cabinet, and I owe E Jean $483 million. What can I distract the idiots with?

I’m convinced Trump’s job is to distract us with crazy shit while Elon, Vivek, Vance, Miller et. al dismantle the government and do truly evil stuff. We are all going to have to avoid falling for the diversions.
