The attempt to delegitimate an independent media and defy the rule of law is not a Republican or Democratic issue. It is a challenge to democracy itself.
Everything with @realDonaldTrump is upside down. He rails that the “system is rigged” but by waging open and relentless warfare on the news media, the FBI, the courts—on all the independent institutions of our democracy—he has become the Rigger-in-Chief.
Offering reconstruction aid in #Syria on a community-by-community basis could
- foster bottom-up political reform
- help consolidate the peace
- reduce Assad's reliance on Russia & Iran
- help prevent a terrorist reemergence.

When the angels had gone into heaven, the shepherds said, "Let's go to Bethlehem & see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." So they hurried off & found Mary & Joseph, & the baby, who was lying in the manger. Lk 2:15-16 https://t.co/UPv7lXFw00
