If you didn't grow up during the Cold War & the Cuban Missile Crisis, or practice bomb drills in school in case Russia attacked us, you can't really understand the slap in the face that Trump & Republicans embrace of fascism is to those of us who did. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Trump may not be able to legally withdraw from NATO, but practically? The damage looks the same whether we slap a *legal* designation on it or not.

Meltdown aside… Donald Trump praising himself after being asked by ABC News about fundraising off dead troops at the dignified transfer is reprehensible. He constantly sinks to new lows.

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.
