That’s the problem. We’ve been standing by for too long.

The wonderful Mike Luckovich

James Madison wrote of the necessity of the separation of powers: “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive & judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elected, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

The Dumbest of Trade Wars enacted by the Dumbest Administration for these Dumbest of Times.

It’s almost like electing a criminal conman was a bad idea.

If your reps aren’t going this hard, it’s time to call/write and ask ‘em why not

BREAKING: A district court ruled that the FBI's use of Section 702 to conduct warrantless searches of a person's digital communications violates the Fourth Amendment. This is a victory for our right to privacy from government spying.

Ugh. @schumer.senate.gov called for more bipartisanship. Neville Chamberlain thought he had achieved “peace for our time.” In case this is too subtle, the message here is you don’t stop evil by cooperating with it - you only become an accomplice.

Helpful!

Remember: The GOP uses dangerous smears against trans people, immigrants, and people of color to deflect attention from the near record share of the nation’s income and wealth now going to the richest Americans. Don't let them get away with it.

You ever overthink what your first post on a social media platform should be in case of the unlikely event it turns out to be momentous or to matter in any way? Yeah, me either
