Unpopular opinion (at least among journalists):
Ivanka doesn’t weigh in on sh*t about her father, the President.
She does however, have a number of journalists on speed-dial, and makes sure the second-day story is always “... but Ivanka pushed back...”
Instead of condemning Trump's racist tweets and statements, House Republicans are offended by...
Democrats calling Trump's tweets and statements what they are: racist.
Once again, @GOPLeader shows there are no limits to his party’s debasement, and it’s only Tuesday.
A must-read from @gtconway3d:
"Trump is...the president of the United States....What’s at stake now is more important than judges or tax cuts or regulations or any policy issue of the day. What’s at stake are the nation’s ideals, its very soul."

I was around 16 when I first heard a version of “go back to your country.” A drunk white guy screaming at an elderly Filipino lady, saying all kinds of foul stuff. Everyone at that bus stop told him to cut it out and he slinked away. We have to be the people at the bus stop.

In 1 week:
Trump attacked PRyan, once loved by GOP. But for Romney, silence.
Said he felt bad not for victims, but for Acosta, who cut a deal w/a monster. Silence.
Tweeted racist trope against members of Congress. But for a few, silence.
Grand Old Party of Complicit Silence
‘It has nothing to do with Republican or Democrat. It has everything to do with treating human beings with decency and respect’ — These mothers took over Sen. Joni Ernst’s office to protest migrant detention camps
The GOP’s silence on Trump’s habitual racism wouldn’t be so deafening to so many people if they hadn’t been deluding themselves that small government, fetuses and tax breaks are the “only” reasons their White friends/family keep voting for apartheid.
I’ve often said that Republican elected officials can’t be expected to respond to every comment by the President. But there are times when the President's comments are so vile and offensive that it is incumbent on Republicans to respond and condemn. This is one of those times.
Sad to watch my friend @realDonaldTrump take low road regarding @AOC of the Bronx, @RashidaTlaib of Detroit @AyannaPressley of Boston & @Ilhan of Somalia & Minneapolis. Let’s stick to issues & steer clear of language that’s xenophobic even racist. @POTUS you’re better than that.
