Wow! A totally different reality. Thatโ€™s not what I heard.

After our Nuremberg-style trials, America has a big "clean-up on aisle GOP" problem to solve.

Here's a start to a sane to-do list:

Approval ratings donโ€™t matter if they have no intentions to hold free & fair elections.

Is the U.S. Becoming an Autocracy? Other countries have watched their democracies slip away gradually, without tanks in the streets. That may be where weโ€™re headedโ€”or where we already are.

We need the best educated workforce in the world.

We need the best teachers in the world.

We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do.

No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

Wearing a bright blue suit, texting, and then sleeping at Pope Francisโ€™s funeral. What an embarrassing mess.

Columbia is proof that appeasement doesnโ€™t work. Harvard is doing the right thing.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasnโ€™t an ICE agent. Heโ€™s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. Theyโ€™re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

What makes this visual even more stunning is that it was made possible by people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy. What idiots.

GOP Senators voted to cancel Donoldโ€™s tariffs on Canada. I almost forgot that Congress could rebuke him if they really wanted to.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.

Third timeโ€™s the charm, I guess.
