Former active Republican. Early and consistent Trump hater and have never second guessed myself. This stain on America won’t wash away easily.

This is underreported story. But it’s important. Acts of domestic terrorism are predictably spiking in the aftermath of our attack on Iran - and Trump and Patel gutted the FBI counterterrorism team, leaving the country intentionally exposed.

Republicans blamed Hillary for 4 dead in Benghazi. They blamed Biden for 13 dead in Afghanistan. Trump’s war has already left 13 U.S. troops dead in just three weeks. Where’s the GOP outrage now?

Buttigieg: "Trump's political operation was raising money off images at a dignified transfer. Any politician who does that has no business leading American troops into war. If the president is willing to raise campaign funds over the bodies of America's war dead, he's unfit to be commander in chief"
