Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.
How is this being treated as normal?
A Republican governor is declaring a state of emergency to cancel an ongoing election for Congress. If you think this is ends with redistricting, you are not paying attention.
The systematic demolition of the Voting Rights Act is complete: 6 people in robes just spit on the graves of every civil rights hero who bled for the right to vote. This isn’t a ruling. It’s a betrayal of our history and a direct assault on our future.
Wake the hell up, America!
@AshleyRParker Ya know, most people would hear this and understand the man is suffering from severe mental illness, but you guys wrote this fucking garbage instead.
Let me make something clear to the "Dana Bashes" out there, saying that Democrats need to turn down the temperature:
FUCK YOU. The example gets set at the top. So, when he tweets that he's glad that Robert Mueller died,
When he calls Democrats a threat to democracy...
When he accuses Democrats of cheating without evidence...
Who exactly is calling on HIM to turn down the temperature? Last time I checked, the people with a large platform that he listens to is THE MEDIA.
So, do YOUR job, Dana.
Hold power accountable. After all, we're not the ones threatening to wipe out an entire civilization.
A message to the journalists attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner, which for the first time — due to no comedians being permitted to make fun of him — Trump is scheduled to attend.
A reminder that when the journalists are finishing their dessert and applauding a man who lies to their faces, I'll be at my desk — planning, writing, fighting.

If you’re at the Correspondents’ Dinner tonight and remain silent about Trump and his enablers, you are neither a journalist nor a patriot.
You are an accomplice.
With the White House Correspondents Association declaring Donald Trump an “honoree” at tonight’s dinner, I declined an organization’s invitation to attend. The sane washing of Trump and his war on the press is dangerous. And the WHCA is an absolute disgrace. #WHCD
For the last time: if you are attending the Correspondents Dinner and you are not planning to actively protest the presence of Trump and his henchmen and yet you claim to be a journalist and a patriotic American..
You are neither a journalist nor an American
STAND FOR SOMETHING
By inviting Donald to the White House Correspondents' Dinner, the WHCA is making common cause with the fascist who threatens the lives and livelihoods of journalists and is out to destroy the fourth estate.
Well done. /s
Does legacy media understand how much they damage their businesses by attend gatherings like the WHCA dinner? Do they think dining with Donald Trump, mingling with his cabinet, and joking around with his cronies does anything other than alienate their audience?
I don't get it.
This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.
A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts.
In an attempt to influence American foreign policy, he proposed a Trump-branded golf course, cut Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump into a multibillion-dollar real estate deal for a resort in Albania, and had someone physically deliver a stone engraved with the Trump family crest to a Republican Member of Congress with instructions to take it to the White House to get the President's attention.
Trump threw his weight behind repealing the sanctions. They were lifted. The contracts are moving, the Trump family’s deals are expanding, and not a single Washington Republican is willing to say a word about any of it.
This is a corruption of everything the office of the presidency is supposed to stand for, and the American people deserve to know about it.
