We are not a country “deeply divided.” We are a country where an extremist minority has seized power through anti-democratic means and is imposing their will on the majority. Our media’s unwillingness to tell that truth is a massive, unending failure.

Mitch McConnell is the story. Bipartisan gangs of senators are not going to fix this. Mike Pence meeting with staffers is not going to fix this. Trump sitting alone in the residence is not going to fix this. Mitch McConnell is the story.

If the CEO of a public company behaved so irrationally and erratically, he’d be cashiered outright or, at the very least, placed on leave for a psychiatric assessment. – at West Atco, NJ

New Post/ABC poll: 53% of Americans blame Trump and Republicans for the shutdown, versus only 29% who blame Democrats. Importantly, among independents it's 53-23 (!) 54% oppose the wall, versus only 42% who support it. Trump lost the argument. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

Americans blame Trump and GOP much more than Democrats for shutdown, Post-ABC poll finds

Support for building a wall on the border has increased over the past year, although 54 percent of Americans still oppose the idea.

It seems impossible, but it's true: President Trump just endorsed the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. Who's he working for?

Trump: "Russia used to be the Soviet Union. Afghanistan made it Russia because they went bankrupt fighting in Afghanistan. Russia." Trump then goes on to endorse the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Via Fox.

A 6 yo asylum seeker nearly died of cardiac arrest in Nov. after having been taken into custody by CBP. A 5 month old is being treated for pneumonia after being held in a CBP “icebox” cell. A 7 yo died in CBP custody. Those are just the ones we’ve learned about the last 10 days
