The current President is NOT doing what the voters elected him to do. He’s doing a lot of things that nobody voted for because he never campaigned on them. What do voters do now?

Orwell much? Republicans just passed a measure saying that for the rest of this congressional session, “each day…shall not constitute a calendar day” for the purposes of terminating Trump’s emergency declaration.

Plus Joy and Lester Holt? Looks like the slide deck of a Power Point presentation at an employment discrimination webinar. Not a good look @msnbc.com Not a good look at all. A betrayal of your loyal audience & a disaster for your network. www.thedailybeast.com/new-msnbc-bl...

UPDATE: The charges against her have been dropped “in the interest of justice” (she bit one of the brownshirts that assaulted her) and the private security firm has lost their license to operate. I hope she sues them into oblivion.

Republicans are pulling a reverse Robin Hood. The House could vote on its new budget resolution as soon as tomorrow. Call your rep to let them know how you feel about the GOP's plan to gut programs used by millions to fund tax cuts that will predominantly go to the richest Americans. (202) 224-3121
