To make common cause with this Administration is to support an affirmatively white supremacist vision of this country. Period.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left."
It’s between democracy and oligarchy.
The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

NEW RESULT: Democrats have flipped a state Senate in Iowa.
This was a seat Trump carried by 11%, but Democratic nominee Catherine Drey has just won it by 10.4%.
This is the second legislative flip by Dems in Iowa this year. It also means the GOP loses its supermajority in Iowa’s senate.

Fourth Estate Dereliction of Duty: Influential Newspaper Editors Normalize President Trump’s Refusal To Affirm His Oath To Defend the Constitution. A case study.
New York Times, Washington Post & Wall Street Journal editors did not make Trump’s “I don’t know” interview a front page story. Several local editors did give it prominence and did a better job.
