What have you done to resist Trump today? Call Cowardly Coons Edition

If you haven't called Coons and demanded that he show some spine, do so now. An irate call telling him to withhold consent and slow down this lawlessness White House is mandatory. Coons Wilmington: (302) 573-6345 You: There’s no reason that the Senate should be conducting business as usual when Trump is blatantly violating the Constitutiuon. I expect Senator Coons to act to uphold our values by committing to withhold consent on Senate business and use the filibuster to stop other legislation and Supreamcourt nominations.

What Fresh Hell is This? for Jan 31st 2017

The Trump administration ratcheted up the bully-boy tactics Monday night, firing the country's acting attorney general for her “betrayal” – telling government attorneys not to defend the executive order banning travel from seven Muslim countries – and telling the 100 diplomats who released an official dissent memo that if they don't like working under Trump they can quit.

Thank you Senator Carper, now keep building on it by withholding consent

Senator Carper deserves credit for going to the protest in Philly and making the remarks he did. Just go to Ken Grant's FB page and take 4 minutes to watch Carper and Lisa Blunt Rochester looking, acting and sounding like actual Americans and Democrats. I don't know how much he was motivated by pressure from constituents, and how much he was motivated by his own sense of right and wrong, and to be honest it doesn't really matter. He took a step out of the "bipartisanship Ubber Alles" fantasy world that he lives in and stepped foot into the real world of Trump's America. Now he has to keep it going by joining with Democrats to withhold consent.

Sean Spicer: Cuckold or Sycophant?

The Trump Propaganda Machine is childish and pathetic. On Whitehouse.gov, Sean Spicer released the following press release, Praise for President Trump's Bold Action. It's just a collection of tweets and news articles that are, you know, reporting stuff.
