Sen. Jeff Merkley has been speaking on the Senate floor since 6:20pm last night — protesting Trump and warning that "tyranny has arrived."

"Trump is shredding our Constitution. Is it okay for masked federal agents to arrest people off the street because of their skin color … Not in a free America."
With Rs in the majority, the Congress has essentially dissolved itself.

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.
I am so glad my nephew left the Navy a couple of years ago.
Remember when Rs went apeshit over unelected bureaucrats running the government?
Cramer doesn't get it. Rs dissolved the House so that Trump can rule by decree.
Rs have chosen to essentially dissolve our legislature in order to give Trump free rein.
Thanks. I want to be able to choose my representatives. Term limits artificially and, IMO, undemocraticly limit my choices.
Yes. This. When Rep Greg Steube was still in the FL legislature, I was present one day when he introduced a bill, then stepped back to let the man he identified as a lobbyist explain it to the committee!
Exactly. My criticism of him is what he didn't do after he sobered up.
Lots and lots of issues. Ds should work to surprise us by rising to the occasion.
Congress has essentially dissolved itself. Who is going to stop Trump’s lawlessness?
