A tiny bit of gentle advice for the men: before you try to explain or pontificate anything about the Cornell 7 to a woman, please remember chances are she’s already an expert 🙏🏻

Harry Truman once said, “Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.” He was right then, and Republicans are proving him right today. Watch.

If you are the DOJ, it is unprecedented to lose 17 straight voting cases in 17 different courts without winning a single one. It's even more remarkable when 8 of them were decided by judges appointed by Trump. How long will the networks ignore this? How long will Trump?

📌REPEATING: If Trump hadn't unilaterally withdrawn from the Iran nuclear agreement crafted by Obama it would NOT have a stockpile of highly enriched uranium today. Iran was IN FULL COMPLIANCE with the agreement. This mess was created ENTIRELY by Trump. This isn’t reported near enough.

This is easily the saddest time in American history. The absolute worst people are systematically destroying the country, and our system is completely failing to stop them.

Trump’s response to the death of the honorable Robert Mueller: “Good, I’m glad he’s dead.” This is how this grotesque human, one of the worst to walk the planet, behaves—disgracing the office that he poisons daily. The world will be a better place when he no longer can.

President Trump just signed an EO to "fight fraud." But 21 inspectors general offices remain vacant after he fired 17 watchdogs within days of taking office, and convicted fraudsters are being granted clemency. You can't fight corruption by dismantling oversight.

This is important and, also, not not new. There were reports of this in LA, Portland, and Chicago, at least, as well.

A very unhappy girl, making a semi-annual visit to the veterinarian. She learned, after being sedated, that she has a torn ligament at her knee. Surgery is most likely in her future.

Yesterday, at a threats hearing, an FBI official testified that “antifa” is a major national security threat, but couldn’t explain its structure, location, or membership. Meanwhile, the White House quietly released a new National Security Strategy that elevates mass migration as the defining threat.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Trump kills funding previously appropriated by Congress for one of the most important infrastructure projects in the country because it involves NY and NJ, while Republicans ask for Dem votes on future government funding while refusing to talk to Dems about it.
