Republicans are exploiting every weakness within our government. As a 250 year old nation, we are learning too late what happens when honor, integrity, & commitment to regularity are discarded by those sworn to protect our Constitution โ€” a piece of parchment which means nothing without all three.

The "checks and balances" in our system were based on, essentially, the honor system. As long as those in the highest seat of power upheld them, those checks and balances were in place. Now soulless demons are at the helm. And those checks and balances? Gone. #democracy

The Odyssey is a film that holds up a mirror to humanity. Shows us who we are and the consequences of our actions, good or ill. Willl we take away the lesson given to us? I fervently hope so. #theodyssey ๐Ÿ“ฝ

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has the constitutional authority to temporarily appoint someone to fill Mitch McConnellโ€™s seat. If GOP lawmakers want to challenge that, they can do so. This will be the first big test to see whether Beshear really is presidential material. I hope he passes the test.

USA runs on a 1700s operating system from an era that is dead and gone, which is why it gets an F at addressing any present-day crisis, while a bunch of two-bit grifters playing the roles of politician or press always gaslight us that "everything is perfect" and "nothing can fundamentally change"
