PERSONAL OPINION: IT'S TIME There's no hyperbole in the following statement: America is in crisis. We need President Obama to take center stage NOW and rally Democrats and all Americans to work together and save the country.

Profoundly important – This isn’t an insurrection. It’s a protest. Please carry AMERICAN flags to protest. Optics have never been more important. The world must see who this administration is turning the military against – its own people. Listen: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjpY92VY/

Please. Stop. All the Substack people. All the Sunday show people. All the MSNBC people. We know we are in a constitutional crisis. We knew it before you told us and you've been telling us for nearly half a year. We don't need to hear it anymore. We need you to get us out of it.
