The Justice Department designated NYC, Portland and Seattle as "anarchist jurisdictions" under guidelines issued by Trump earlier this month-he is using this false term to defund cities that do not support him politically. https://t.co/OtoAETDY14

Trump, on Fox: "When you have the Senate, you can do what you want." We need to stop describing the GOP's SCOTUS game as mere "hypocrisy." It's much worse: It's a declaration that when Democrats win elections, Rs can and should nullify at will. New piece:https://t.co/amE5JbwoFo
