Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

Reporters should be allowed in the room to hear former President Bill Clinton’s deposition!
Today marks 14 years since 17-year-old, unarmed Trayvon Martin was shot and killed while walking home.

Trump crying about his approval ratings - which are the lowest of any president this century. He believes he has silent support but the reality is, Americans are tired of the chaos.
Schiff: I've not missed the State of the Union in the 25 years I've been in Congress, but we have never had a president violate the constitution every day with seeming impunity.
We can't treat this as some new normal, so I'm here boycotting...
Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."
ICE tackles and arrests New Jersey father outside his home, leaving his 6-year-old first-grade daughter at home alone.
She goes out looking for him.
"I got my boots and changed my clothes. I wanted to find some help to find my dad..."

President Sanctimonious says he will continue most Tariffs despite SCOTUS ruling and thanks Drunk Justice Kavanaugh.
Dear France, Poland, UK and Lithuania- do it correctly, do it thoroughly, and make every single bit of it public for the world to see.
The half we haven’t seen is by far the worst half. Expose it all, no matter who it hurts. Raping teenage girls deserves no mercy. #EpsteinFiles. #TrumpEpsteinCoverup

What the hell are we doing? And why in the world would anyone come here for the World Cup/Olympics? www.miaminewtimes.com/news/immigra...
There really wasn’t much News about this walk at all. I sometimes think that if it wasn’t for some of us promoting this on social media, it would have been missed.

“As the airplane took off, Epstein started touching me forcibly in between my legs, and I freaked out. I realized, this is not a modeling opportunity, I've been kidnapped. They whisked me away to the island. I was stuck there. They never arranged any modeling opportunities, I was completely conned."
Anderson Cooper’s exit from 60 Minutes is another sign that Bari Weiss is ruining CBS News in service to an authoritarian regime that wants no accountability journalism. What a disgrace.
Narrator: He has not been “totally exonerated”
This is concerning, that a rep feels they must post this. A lot in our coalition has felt the same way and worried about it, but didn’t think we’d be here publicly.
We are entering the “falling out of windows” phase.

Normally I wouldn’t repost something so incomprehensible, something that is so sick it couldn’t possibly have happened but we must now think anything is possible.
Donald John Trump is a rapist, a pedophile, a kidnapper, an extortionist, a grifter, a thief, and a Murderer.
I really don't think there is any reasonable doubt about any of those things at this time.
Swarms of bots linked to IP addresses in Lanzhou, China are absolutely flooding the internet.

Who needs drunk tweets when you have dementia truths:
Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.
Rep Jayapal: “Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed history of exactly what emails I searched — we’re going to demand an end to that”
Rep Raskin: "Spying on Members of Congress conducting oversight in yet another blatant attempt to intrude into Congress’s oversight processes"
This is a breathtaking article about the complete clown show at DHS being overseen by Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski (gift link)
I call Trump a lot of things….but not President!
“It’s not right. And it’s not something that I would have ever thought I would have lived.”
