Not always in total agreement with Sasse, but this for me conforms to reality and morality which is so lacking otherwise in our government

The most important dividing line in American politics these days, it seems to me, isn't between liberal and conservative. It's between those who saw the con early and those who still don't see it.

History says, don't hope On this side of the grave. But then, once in a lifetime The longed-for tidal wave Of justice can rise up, And hope and history rhyme.

This is what a doom loop of democracy looks like: A party that wins power without winning voters will use its power to disenfranchise the voters who threaten its future power.

It is just unbefuckinglievable that anyone would even consider throwing out 100,000 votes cast in good faith by eligible voters.

Two recent Republican nominees for president (one of whom became president) have died since the last GOP convention. Both of them were war heroes, and embodied in different ways American virtues. I look forward to the video tributes to George H. W. Bush and John McCain tonight.

Every journalist in America who might have an opportunity to question Trump should lock themselves in a room with no distractions and watch the Chris Wallace interview 25 times.

The Russia-Taliban story calls for a response from every Member of Congress. I’ll start with mine: @RepWalorski, what will you do? Do you still support this president? Asking as a constituent who feels strongly about US troops being targeted and killed.

So thankful for my father. Missing him today and every day, and wishing a happy #FathersDay to every Dad out there who shapes the world by giving that lifelong father’s gift of guidance, bearing, and love.

Sadly Sasse has the values I admire but never before now the courage of political will. I'm guessing he has now decided to leave the sick system of politics via suicide.

BEN SASSE statement: “There is no right to riot... But there is a fundamental—a Constitutional—right to protest, and I’m against clearing out a peaceful protest for a photo op that treats the Word of God as a political prop."

I know your pain, your rage, your sense of despair and hopelessness. Justice has, indeed, been denied for far too long. Rioting, looting, and burning is not the way. Organize. Demonstrate. Sit-in. Stand-up. Vote. Be constructive, not destructive. johnlewis.house.gov/media-center/p…

The following are all true: * Trump often acts impulsively. * Trump enjoys gaining attention more than exercising power. * Trumpism isn’t fascism. AND * In his demagoguery, lying, and contempt for rule of law, Trump poses a real threat to our liberal democracy. As does Trumpism.
