There's a series of things (like the ballroom, Gulf of America) that we're going to have to *undo* the moment this guy is out of office.
And yet I can already hear future Democrat presidents saying "I'm focused on the people's work, not the knucklehead stuff" and just leave this man's shit up.

My guess is that Trump's supporters who are golfers also cheat, so they find this endearing, not problematic. Meanwhile, Trump's supporters who don't golf just assume that all rich people (including and especially democrats) cheat at everything and so this is just the way the world works.

From @theatlantic.com, re Colbert: "the network that once made Cronkite the most trusted man in America no longer gets the benefit of the doubt. CBS’s owners have made a series of decisions capitulating to Trump, and the surprise choice to allow Colbert to walk seems like part of that pattern."

Trump is calling a bill that he doesn’t understand the only way to save America, and 50 people who mostly DO understand it - and hate it - just voted for it because the guy who doesn’t know what’s in it told them to.

What a clusterfuck.

I also know how to stand tall when it matters.

On this day in 1964, the Civil Rights Act was signed into law. It outlawed discrimination based on race, religion, sex, or national origin – and it remains one of our most impactful and celebrated pieces of legislation to this day.

We’ve come a long way, but there’s still work to do.

10/ And once Trump has the lawyers, colleges and industry under his thumb, it becomes very hard for the opposition to have any viable space to maneuver.

Trump didn’t invent this strategy. It’s the playbook for democratically elected leaders who want to stay in power forever.
