One of the craziest stories I've seen in a long time. If you think Trump and his administration are extreme and depraved, just wait until you learn about the young guns who are positioning themselves to take over the reigns in the next few decades

Yes. Please hold the line. Please help your fellow Democrats in both the Senate and the House to hold the line. We’re down to brass tacks now.

Same-same, Chris. I give handsful to the kids. Except I always pick out the Reese’s PB cup snack size from the giant Costco bag just for me. One a day.

ICE is looking in the wrong places for violent criminals. They should start in their own offices.

My sympathy is wholly for the people who didn’t vote for Shitler. The people who did vote for him - and their kids - not only have no sympathy from me, but I will actively celebrate their misery as they celebrate the misery and deaths of migrants & others hurt by this dictatorhip.

40 yrs ago I entered the US Foreign Service. A male classmate told me, “Your problem is you speak too emphatically.” My response: “Emphatically fuck you.” I left the FS eventually, returned to Civil Service, retired after 35 year career as Director of Comms for an agency. Emphatically fuck him.

Leadership looks like repeating the truth again and again and refusing to back down to bullies and pressure.

It looks like using your platform and leverage-- whatever it may be -- for the larger good.

So grateful to Pritzker and everyone else modeling this now.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

ICE and ERO have pushed out most of the people who would have done things the right way - obeyed regs & laws, didn’t beat up people, etc. Other agencies as well.
