Hearing that the DOGE chaos hurricane is hitting HUD soon, and the plan is to devastate federal housing funding. Let's be clear: this would cause a cascade of catastrophic impacts nationwide, shutting down housing and dumping families into the street.

Reading the Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant & the first thing I notice: when talking about moving in the US, Grant says people "immigrated." His family "immigrated" from Connecticut to Ohio. Every person he introduces, he tells you what state they're from and how they felt about the Civil War.

Say what you will about Trump - he's an idiot, he's a monster, he's a bigot, he's a con-man. But, he does show up for the free good-press event, the Super Bowl interview, that Biden skipped twice.

Concentration camps preceded extermination camps by several years. They began in Germany just as administratively, just as innocuously, as this. It's important to understand the historical track we are on.

This is impeachable. If ignoring the law and denying aid to Ukraine was impeachable, then surely ignoring the law and denying aid to our fellow Americans is as well.
