It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.

It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.

Millions hit the streets this weekend in solidarity with each other and to affirm the foundations of the common good.

Need more reporting on this.

Jesus said: those who live by the sword die by the sword. So it’s not at all ironic that someone willing to accept innocent children’s deaths for the sake of owning guns would die by a gun. This is God’s truth.

People ask me what I think of the assassination from yesterday. I barely think of it. But here’s what I think when I do think of it.

Ithaca Falls today. Each waterfall in the area is more beautiful than the next. Goodness. #Exploring #NewYork

That’s where I got engaged!

Incompetence takes many forms. Including not knowing what year you are in. Or that you are serving a despot. If you know Marco Rubio, can you help him? Since he is our Secretary of State—let’s take pity on him. Someone help. #littlemarco #marcorubio #doeshehaveasoul #anyshame? #anyatall?

Jesus said that the poor widow, who put in only a penny, gave more than the rich people. Let’s get to justice using God’s economic principles.

Gorgeous.

-Sinking poll numbers
-A devastating (and unpopular) budget bill
-Harmful trade wars 
-Unleashing the military on American soil
-Millions of people protesting his authoritarianism

We must remain on high alert.

I Worry, but I Fight From Marc | Despite that worry, I cannot stop standing up for what is right. I cannot turn a blind eye to injustice.

It’s totally normal that visitors to the president would wear masks to hide their identity. Nothing to see here. #cryptobribery

Bill Ackman is wrong.

Evil. No other word.

Trump Is Trying to Control Congress by Taking Over Its Library Read more here.

Trump’s attempted takeover of the LOC may also be a test case to see how susceptible congressional Republicans are to his power grab. If they let him install ideologues throughout the LOC, maybe they’d let him do the same to other indispensable legislative entities.

Unimaginable.
