Trump has begun tearing down some of the White House, for his ballroom. wapo.st/4hqBNiU
I’m afraid to ask what happened. I’m trying to watch less and less, which is equally depressing.
It sure is. And Trumpism happened and thrives because an admirable black man won the presidency. Twice.

Stunning. Despicable. Embarrassing.

We should be “No Kings” peacefully protesting every goddamned day. They couldn’t ignore that.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.
