Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

I never ever thought I would see such a dangerous unhinged psychopath running the US military. We’ve had some bad ones, but never like this.

If you’re shocked by a Senator who doesn’t know the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes, wait until you hear about the president who only recently learned that dumb is spelled with a b. 🤣 🤪 😂

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

Sen. Eric Schmitt was so overzealous to try and get Jack Smith, a good and honest man who has done great work, that Schmitt embarrassed himself by accusing Smith of going to the wrong basketball game. You can't make this stuff up. And right wing media will pretend it never happened.

The result is comical, but the GOP conspiracy is certainly NOT funny! The GOP tried to fabricate a conspiracy they could use to spin more GOP LIES to discredit a federal investigation, TO PROTECT TRUMP! The GOP actions focused on 1 thing: PROTECT TRUMP AT ALL COST! #usdemocracy

The corollary: The GOP felt sufficiently confident in their ability to abuse power without consequence that they tried to execute this FRAUD within a congressional hearing room on recorded video! If we are still sane, we should be concerned about GOP FRAUD IN GOVERNMENT! #usdemocracy

The PRIMARY impacts that ALWAYS get ignored by the GOP propaganda: 1) Tax cuts reduce taxes. 2) Taxes are income to OUR government. 3) Income to the government is reduced. 4) Budget deficit SPIKES! 5) National debt SPIKES! This is the result ALWAYS! Is this still too complicated? #usdemocracy
