Thank you, Jay
So encouraging and from a conservative..
In the end, however, he will fail. He will fail because however shrewd his tactics are, his strategy is terribleThe New York Times, the CIA, Mexican Americans, and all the others he has attacked are not going away. With every act he makes new enemies for himself and strengthens their commitment; he has his followers, but he gains no new friends. He will fail because he cannot corrupt the courts, and because even the most timid senator sooner or later will say enough. He will fail most of all because at the end of the day most Americans, including most of those who voted for him, are decent people who have no desire to live in an American version of Tayyip Erdogans Turkey, or Viktor Orbans Hungary, or Vladimir Putins Russia.
There was nothing unanticipated in this first disturbing week of the Trump administration. It will not get better. Americans should therefore steel themselves, and hold their representatives to account. Those in a position to take a stand should do so, and those who are not should lay the groundwork for a better day. There is nothing great about the America that Trump thinks he is going to make; but in the end, it is the greatness of America that will stop him

Exclusive: The group @TulsiGabbard said paid for her Syria trip hasn't existed in years
snip//
Principled opposition to U.S. intervention in Syria is one thing. Becoming a tool of a mass murderers propaganda and influence campaign is another. Gabbards cooperation with the Syrian regime damages her effort to promote herself as a legitimate foreign policy voice.
If Gabbard really didnt know the men who sponsored her fact-finding mission to Syria, she should have. To many, the entire affair proves that Assads Washington influence campaign is alive and well and now has a sitting congresswoman for a mouthpiece, whether she realizes it or not.

Love Charles Blow
When Barack Obama was in office remember the good old days, just over a week ago, when we didnt wake up every morning and wonder what new atrocity was emanating from the White House Republicans were apoplectic about his use of executive orders. They called them unilateral edicts and power grabs. As Iowa Senator Charles Grassley once said in a floor speech: The president looks more and more like a king that the Constitution was designed to replace.
