One obvious point about the Republican rats desperately deserting the sinking Trump ship: They're still rats.

National security decision-making has a longer time horizon. It would be stupid for Canada, Europe, South Korea, etc. to act now based on assuming the US will be a reliable in a decade. We have shown that we are not. Many Americans still don’t appreciate how profound of a change that is.

I agree that in 2027 and 2028, Congressional investigations, funding the government, and consideration of Trump nominees can NOT be business as usual. No "reaching across the aisle", funding Trump BS, or voting for ANY Trump nominee - judicial or otherwise. Those days are definitely over. 1/

Maybe I'm biased living in a state (WA) with a functional public health system, but given the circumstances, I actually think the nation responded quite well to Covid. Made mistakes, but we'll learn from those and do better next time... assuming we're not being run by sociopaths like Trump & RFK jr.

It’s no big surprise that Trump’s DOJ is deleting all of the January 6th press releases from its website. Here’s the thing: I downloaded all of them in Feb. 2025 (that’s right, more than a year ago) suspecting that they’d do just that. And we’re working to post them all online, as are others.

Trump DOJ mass-deletes info on Jan. 6 riot cases, including violent assaults on cops
The Trump Department of Justice purged government news releases with information about prosecutions of rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol and assaulted law enforcement on Jan. 6, 2021.

Mainstream TV news has shifted from “inform the public” to “don’t offend power.” The worst part is the tone: everything is delivered like a calm weather report while the country is on fire. These past anchors understood that journalism is supposed to apply pressure. Not host a brunch panel.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov Since the president's Easter threats are war crimes, it is important to convey to military command that they will be held responsible for carrying out illegal orders. Noone went to jail for waterboarding. That was a mistake. We can't do that again.
