Been saying this since his first term. Trump is legit a back of the napkin moron. He doesn’t have plans. He has no ideas. He isn’t a hard worker. He is just a blow hard.

I’m never going to get over the fact that the fucking Drudge Report is more consistently and reliably anti-Trump than the New York Times

It's genuinely hard to express to sort of normal not politically plugged in non-lawyers how lawless the Trump administration is, and I think that's some part of the problem. You sound like you're hyperventilating, but it's just a flat description of what is going on.

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.
