If one of your Senators is one of the four (Thune, Scott, Lankford, and Johnson) who has come out v Ingrassia for his Nazi views, you might call and ask when they're going to call out Stephen Miller, who is also a white nationalist, but who also serves as a gatekeeper to what Trump thinks is true.

The Republican shutdown means that nonessential federal employees like soldiers and TSA agents aren't being paid anymore, but rest assured that the truly vital work of this administration -- building a Dancing with the Stars ballroom for the dementia-addled president -- still goes on.

Some news outlets played coy, calling it âbrown liquidâ or âsewage.â But letâs call it like it is, because it matters that the holder of an office that once required a bit of dignity thinks dropping shit on the heads of the people heâs supposed to represent is funny.

Donald Trump promised to unite the people of this nation, and then did exactly the opposite. But, in fairness, today, he united a record number of Americans to attend our historic "No Kings" rallies.
