We in Oklahoma are not at all surprised by Pruitt’s actions. We knew he is horrible, and groaned out loud when the rump appointed him. They are two of a kind.
He made an excuse for someone making fun of the handicapped. No one should make an excuse for that behavior, from anyone at anytime in any situation. That someone in Dean’s case happened to be the POTUS.
Just a couple of months ago the Trump admin was thanking Honduras for backing Trump on Israel. This morning Trump threatens Honduras over immigration. Foreign governments notice these things. https://t.co/fhZ1SolGFM
Why are the entirety of the Congressional GOP continuing to get away with #DerelictionOfDuty on a daily basis by doing nothing on the infinite crimes of TrumpPutinCo? Their silence = complicity.

When Trump says “I think I can have a great relationship with Putin (Russia)” … i think he really means that he only takes his orders from his boss President Putin.
Someone should check on McTurtle and Lyin Ryan … their silence makes me wonder if they are still around. Not a peep out of these useless Russian tools.
Usually these companies have stringent security that NO ONE can just walk into their buildings. I can now see businesses putting up bullet proof glass that can’t be shot out. I read the person shot out the glass doors.

And it's over! De facto Dem nominee for Wisconsin Supreme Court Rebecca Dallet has been declared the winner. And polls only closed 45 minutes ago. That's how much of a landslide it was. Sen.

So @realDonaldTrump is a subject but not a target. This is just semantics folks. A subject means he’s currently under investigation. A target means the prosecution is currently seeking an indictment. You never want to be a subject of a criminal investigation. /1 https://t.co/G76WKBRQ3r
It essentially means that the prosecution is building a case against you and the time period between being a ‘subject’ and ‘target’ can be moments. Trump is done. It’s up to Mueller when he wants to deconstruct this administration. /end

I’ve been volunteering with Postcards To Voters for a good while now, and have some good news to report: out of the 6 candidates we wrote cards for, 5 won their elections today! Woohoo! Emily Antul, MA, Rebecca Dallet, WI, Jim Hawkins, MA, Matthew Schindler, MO, Kevin Seltzer, MO– all won. Jamie Spotts of WI did not, but hey. Blue Wave is real, if we work it 🙂
Hello Nena! It’s so satisfying to see these wins! I write cards most days, but especially when the GOPigs have me on the verge of a shrieking fit– which is fairly often.

Good morning, TODVille. You will get an email from John Lewis today sent from the Obama Foundation. Make sure you open it and follow the link to this page and this video:
APRIL 4, 2018 6:02 AM
To honor the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr’s death, President Obama and Congressman John Lewis participated in a My Brother’s Keeper Alliance roundtable with students from Ron Brown College Preparatory High School in Washington, D.C. Watch as President Obama, Congressman Lewis, and the students discuss Dr. King’s legacy and how his mission remains relevant in today’s world.
Email today from The Obama Foundation includes this remarkable video with Rep. John Lewis. Make sure you also open the email and follow the link to a page with more wonderful photos and information. https://t.co/5xB7qxVart#MLK50
I just LOVE LOVE LOVE what PBO is doing with the Obama Foundation. These young men in the video are also an inspiration. They’ve had very good mentorship.
With my pension fund disappearing every minute, the responsible dotard should be impeached. Now!

U.S. stocks plunge as Trump and China double down on trade dispute
The Dow Jones industrial average lost more than 500 points in early trading. The Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index and tech-heavy Nasdaq also dropped sharply.
On Tuesday, the Trump administration revealed about $50 billion in Chinese electronics, aerospace and machinery products it plans to hit with tariffs. The move threatens to upend global supply chains for corporations such as Apple and Dell, raise prices for American consumers who have grown accustomed to inexpensive electronics and aggravate tensions between the world’s two largest economies.
China fired back by threatening tariffs on 106 U.S. products, including on soybeans, cars and some airplanes, in the latest escalation of a trade war between the world’s two largest economies.
A security advocacy group tested the 26 email domains managed by the Executive Office of the President and found that 18 are not in compliance with a DHS directive to implement a security protocol that verifies the emails as genuinely from the White House. https://t.co/iuE0uXVBiy
Before everything goes down, you're going to want to fully understand the Russian hacking campaign and how Trump associates tried to coordinate with it (and quite possibly did). VOX just offered us all an amazing and comprehensive (i.e., up-to-now) primer: https://t.co/MohLUin40M
Good morning, I haven’t seen that anyone else posted this. It is a good story about ALL who were with/around MLK the night he was killed. One of the men, James Laue, was a good friend of ours when we lived in Fairfax, VA. Story mentions that he established the first school/chair at a university for conflict resolution. That is at George Mason University in Fairfax and he did that when we knew him. It is a bit long but well worth your time.
We honor Martin Luther King Jr. today and everyday, as his legacy is one of many that is carrying us through this fight. There is injustice in the streets of America…we must remember that “darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.” #MLK50#MarchForOurLivespic.twitter.com/XVTBLuq0E0
The most authentic way to honor my father is to commit to the work of creating a more peaceful, just, humane world. Let quotes coincide with conscious efforts to eradicate poverty, militarism and racism (privilege + power = oppressive policies + culture). #MLK50Forward#MLKpic.twitter.com/exUAp1E68q
During the 1967 interview with @NBCNews' Sander Vanocur at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, MLK discussed a new era in the civil rights movement, as, he said, it was changing from a struggle for decency to a struggle for genuine equality.https://t.co/ZdpYQztvqgpic.twitter.com/dL7TE4TqKY
Dr. King was proof that the promise of America can beat so strongly in the heart of one person they can move this nation. We can all — 300 plus million Americans — honor Dr. King’s legacy by remembering that today. #MLK50
Today, there will be no shortage of encomiums to Dr. King. But I fear what will be lost is the quality of his character and the fierceness of his beliefs. Many who now pay lip service to his legacy would be demonizing his rhetoric if he were alive today. #MLK50#WhatUnitesUs

Negroes have proceeded from a premise that equality means what it says, and they have taken white Americans at their word when they talked of it as an objective. But most whites in America … proceed from a premise that equality is a loose expression for improvement. White America is not even psychologically organized to close the gap–essentially it seeks only to make it less painful and less obvious but in most respects to retain it.
-1 step forward…2 steps back-
Even among some stalwart Democrats we hear demands that more attention should be given to blue collar, white workers and to those economically left behind in rural America or the Rust Belt. This dovetails with the conservative view of the “forgotten” American, who always happens to be white.
