Trump is a goddamn traitor to America. Any congressional Republican who supports him — or is afraid to stand up to him — is just as much of a traitor as Trump.

"For those that read the headlines only, it will appear that we are backing sex offenders instead of their victims," Olson said. "But there are unique circumstances that need the potential flexibility that a court review can provide." YEAH, IT DOES LOOK LIKE THAT!😡 www.inforum.com/news/north-d...

It’s clear in these dangerous times who’s a true leader and who’s a follower. Leadership isn’t just about words, it’s about action, bringing people together, and making a difference. The real change-makers, the activists, are the ones who should be at the top, shaping the future. Pay attention.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

"It’s a sad spectacle to see a reputable law firm render itself into an instrument for lawlessness. It’s also a cautionary tale of how lawyers should not conduct themselves as Trump proceeds with an effort to replace the justice system with one governed by cronyism and corruption."

www.wtaj.com/news/local-n... These counties are where my family lived. The roads are narrow and population sparse. State gave UPMC 1.2 million dollars to do a study? Money better spent for patient care. 😢😭

Trump: "We have now hired a couple of the best agencies and we're gonna spend about $150m, maybe $200m, on advertising saying that when you take certain drugs -- the drug fentanyl, etc - it destroys your skin, it destroys your teeth, it destroys your brain...I think we can drop it 50% by doing this"

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

There’s always been racism. Trump has given birth to a new generation of white supremacists & empowered them to practice their racism, discrimination, & hate without fear of consequence.
