...I listened to the entire presentation, too.


Maxwell Frost:

This is about silencing criticism of Donald Trump who believes that he's a king. Donald Trump doesn't want a democracy. He wants a throne. And his cronies are clearing the way. The president and his lap dogs here in the United States Congress, the vice president, the FCC chair, the attorney general, secretary of state, and congressional Republicans are implementing a dangerous agenda to punish their opposition.

Fascism is not on the way. It is here."


Let's make certain we've not just shooting down actual legislative efforts because of peeves over some word or some phrase we may think is right for the time isn't being used by serious legislators advancing national initiatives that don't just involve Democratic activism or just our own advocacy.
