And, this happened today. Yesterday, a short-lived coup in South Korea. The people stood up against it. Today, France’s governing leadership collapses. Meanwhile, in the US, more criminals bring put in positions of power. Even more reason to stand taller and work harder. #protectdemocracy

Who are these people? Why do they feel they can say anything & maintain power? Do they know they can do these unconstitutional & horrific things because we aren’t privy to a bigger plan? We have to figure this out. This requires more than planning for the mid-terms. This is not business as usual.

Following the Matt Gaetz news, what I said yesterday still applies. Don't follow the circus. Matt was never going to be confirmed. Matt knew it and Trump knew it. What Matt wanted to do was to escape the house ethics report getting released.
