And he sounded the alarm that if the Republicans take over Congress next November that's basically this country is over with that they will never relinquish power again

this isn't just about justice and accountability for the principle of it and the overall impact on obscene inequality, this is quite literally about the future of this country and whether or not we quickly descend into autocracy which will happen if Trump (or Trumpers) gain even more power. Time is truly of the essence here.

True story - a woman called a radio station here to find out why it takes so long to solve a murder when she watches everything solved in an hour on Law and Order.

is Democrats who don't realize that our democracy is hanging by a thread.

Did anyone watch Chris Hayes last night? Republicans are gaining enough House seats through gerrymandering to win back the House, bye bye select committee. Without the passage of S1 Democrats have a long row to hoe.

Keep whistling past the graveyard.

I fully expect that DeJoy will be removed from office before he dismantles the post office, right?

gain control over the military.

"We are on the way to a right-wing coup," CIA director Gina Haspel told Milley after Esper's ouster. Wake up people, back in Watergate Republicans helped do the right thing. Today's GQP is complicit in overthrowing our democracy. Trump fired the Secretary of Defense because he wouldn't do his bidding, we are having trouble getting rid of a Postmaster General who is trying to dismantle the Post Office.
