We are not a country “deeply divided.” We are a country where an extremist minority has seized power through anti-democratic means and is imposing their will on the majority. Our media’s unwillingness to tell that truth is a massive, unending failure.

Mitch McConnell is the story.
Bipartisan gangs of senators are not going to fix this.
Mike Pence meeting with staffers is not going to fix this.
Trump sitting alone in the residence is not going to fix this.
Mitch McConnell is the story.

New Post/ABC poll:

53% of Americans blame Trump and Republicans for the shutdown, versus only 29% who blame Democrats.

Importantly, among independents it's 53-23 (!)

54% oppose the wall, versus only 42% who support it.

It seems impossible, but it's true: President Trump just endorsed the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. Who's he working for?
