Time to play hardball. Republicans did.
Kentucky Republicans changed the Senate succession law to stop a Democratic gov from appointing McConnell’s successor.

Talking about Donald Trump having dementia just gives a sympathetic excuse for inexcusable preexisting conditions. Donald has *always* been a mean, self-centered, incoherent fool who says stupid and ignorant things.
Senator Cory Booker: “Trump has pocketed at least $1,408,500,000 billion.This is all in his first year. This is an astonishing level, unprecedented level of corruption.”
Will he ever be stopped?
There are 25+ million uninsured Americans RIGHT NOW. Republicans’ answer is to cut 300,000 MORE from coverage to fund bombs over Iran.
No debate.
No vote.
Just cuts.
This must be stopped.

Not feeling good about giving my hard earned money to the oligarchs, to fund illegal & unnecessary "wars,"or fund any of this admin's crooked schemes.
Not at all 'good.'
We watched in awe as Hungarians fought back against a tyrant at the voting booth to save their democracy.
We need to fight back against our own tyrant at the voting booth to save our democracy!

Not sure how this "no tax on tips" stunt was supposed to play out, but showing a senior citizen who is stuck driving Door Dash because she can't afford her husbands cancer treatment is not the flex they think it is.
Or was that part bullshit too?

The acquisition of Tegna by Nextstar may have been executed, but may not survive a lawsuit claiming it produced a monopoly. The NPR story lays out another story of behind the scenes dealing within #CF47 ‘s regime that lays out the plot to kill local TV news in USA..
Local TV giant Nexstar consummated its acquisition of Tegna just hours after it was green-lit by Trump's regulators.
Now a US judge is giving serious weight to lawsuits alleging it should be found illegal.
My story for NPR:

NEW: 50 House Democrats introduce legislation to establish a Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties, citing Trump’s unhinged, “volatile & incoherent” actions
Bill enables Congress to play its role in 25th Amendment
DoorDash grandma & Trump’s ridiculous photo op.
She’s driving delivery to earn money for her husband’s cancer treatments. He just wants to talk about trans athletes. 🤦♀️
Americans really want help affording healthcare, gas, groceries, day care.

Whatever happens, this is a deeply shameful episode in American history that will leave a permanent stain on the country.
Repeatedly vowing to commit war crimes against millions of innocent civilians is beyond the pale.
🎨 “A Throne Fit for a King” is the latest sculpture on our National Mall befitting the racist slob in our White House.
Support the arts, good people. They will be around long after our one-man national nightmare is over.

Scott Henry recited a dramatic word for word reading of Trump’s war cabinet sharpie saga…somehow when you hear his words altogether it’s so obvious that Trump has some form of dementia that is getting worse by the day. None of it made sense! Just listen to this word salad!
#USDemocracy#Pinks
Yesterday’s worldwide protests showed that not only do we despise Trump here in the states, the rest of the world thinks he’s a POS too.
Thank you world, for standing in solidarity with We the People in our fight against this psychotic regime.

I'm updating the famous Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times" to "May you live in incompetent times" to be more relevant to those of us living in the United States right now.

Breaking:
Benjamin Netanyahu says it's not US decision when this war ends. It's when the IDF says this war ends. Benjamin Netanyahu on a world stage made Trump look small and powerless. 🚨
Today Kim Jong-Un said that “acts of terror and aggression that the United States is committing throughout the world” fully justified his pursuit of a nuclear arsenal.
Feel safer, now?
"[Trump's] got 5,500 nuclear weapons, the second-largest arsenal on the planet at his disposal. We can't be guaranteed that he won't drop one of those bombs on somebody at some point, because he has no moral compunction about it."
