It wasn't just a blue wave or tsunami. It was like God dipped us in blue but was holding the country by Florida.

NAACP president Derrick Johnson: “Stephen Miller belongs nowhere near the Oval Office. He belongs before a judge. He’s a thug who will be remembered as the architect of Trump’s vile and authoritarian regime.”

This message is for @RepJeffries .
America has seen you on the news…
Saying you’re only going to concentrate on “Affordability For the American People”.
While side stepping questions about impeaching Trump.
Now listen up.
Accountability is going to happen.
The Judiciary Committee will occupy 12 members of House Democrats.
The Oversight Committee will occupy 26 members of House Democrats.
This leaves you 221 democrats to work on the economy and other shit that’s fucked up.
Americans have endured atrocities under Trump and Republicans that require accountability.
Americans along with Immigrants have been illegally detained, deported, tortured, murdered and raped under Trump’s Department of Homeland Security.
Thousands of Rape victims have been forced to carry pregnancies to term due to laws Republicans have passed.
Forcing victims of rape to give birth to their rapist’s child.
Women have died because they were denied the rights to an abortion.
Again because of laws Republicans have passed.
Women were hunted down and prosecuted for having abortions.
Muslims, Jews and other non-Christians have been made the targets of hate and murder…
Because of their 1st Amendment right to practice a their religion.
While Republicans forced their religion onto others in Public Schools, Hospitals and in our Courts.
The LGBTQ and Trans Communities have had laws passed against them…
They’ve been demonized and been victims of hate crimes and murder due to MAGA rhetoric.
People have died due to measles outbreaks and other diseases…
Due to policies put out by The Department of Health and Human Services.
Many politicians and people within Trump’s inner circle,
Have made billions of dollars off illegal business dealings.
And finally -
The biggest sex trafficking ring in modern history…
Has been sidelined to protect the wealthy and well connected.
The Epstein Files need to be fully investigated.
The victims deserve justice.
The guilty deserve accountability.
So whatever path these investigations lead you down…
Down the path of a Democrat…
Down the path of a Republican…
Down the path to Donald Trump…
These investigations will happen.
This is not a matter of “Fixing Affordability For America” and sidelining the rest.
Because you’ve made friends with those in Trump’s inner circle…
It’s a matter of 360 Accountability.
We demonstrated what we can do at the polls.
We took out the majority of the Republican Trash.
You will bring accountability.
Or you’ll be the next load of trash taken out.
You work for us.
We demand accountability.
Get it done.
If you have any questions…
Feel free to ask any democrat voter.
(If you follow me, or you agree with my post… Please repost it.)
(I want as many democrat lawmakers as possible to see this.
Especially @RepJeffries )
OK, hear me out.
Trump is weak and hates being irrelevant. He has no allegiance to the GOP. Skip Dem revenge talk and use him. Pass universal health care. Pass immigration reform. Give Trump a choice: Be a consequential president for the right reasons, not the wrong ones.

Marie Wilcox realized she was the last person on Earth who could speak the Wukchumni anguage fluently, so at 82, she taught herself to use a computer and spent seven years typing a 6,000 word Wukchumni dictionary, the first written record of the language in history, to save it from extinction.

New: Ousted 60 Minutes managing editor Guy Campanile has addressed his firing this May in a lengthy post on LinkedIn. From it:
“After some time and deep reflection, I am now comfortable and prepared to talk about it. Tanya Simon, Draggan Mihailovich, Matthew Polevoy, Scott Pelley, Sharyn Alfonsi, Cecilia Vega and I refused to be accomplices in the destruction of the most prestigious news program on American television.
We would not compromise our principles or reputations by jamming unverifiable notions or White House talking points into our reporting. We objected when told to conduct interviews arranged by the administration.
… We did what reporters worth their salt do - we questioned authority…including our own bosses.”

I have an update on my gardener who was taken by ICE.
Three big things have happened since then.
1. The neighbors have all come together to help.
We hired a good immigration lawyer for him. We also found someone willing to serve as his financial sponsor. That matters because one of the things the government will consider is whether he’s likely to show up for future hearings. Having someone willing to vouch for him, and having deep ties to his family and community, can help.
2. We’ve raised enough money to post a bond if he’s granted one.
We think he has a strong case for being released from detention while his case proceeds.
He has lived in the United States since he was 16. (He is now 44.) He runs his own business. He has a wife and two young children. He owns his home. And he has many, many people willing to write letters saying that he’s an important part of this community and is not going anywhere.
We’ll have to wait to see if it’s granted. Fingers crossed.
3. His lawyer is asking to postpone his court date, which is currently scheduled for next week.
This is really important. The Trump administration is trying to move people through the immigration system quickly so it can deport them as fast as possible. His lawyer wants time to gather evidence and build the best possible case for letting him stay. Again, fingers crossed.
But this is what really broke my heart.
My gardener was finally able to get a call through to his wife two days ago. This strong, confident, capable man was terrified. He didn’t know what to do.
Then his wife told him what everyone was doing behind the scenes.
He sobbed.
I don't know if we are going to get him home. I wish I could tell you that we will.
But I do know that we are seeing both the best and worst of American in real time.
The worst is a system that can take a man away from his wife and kids and leave him sitting in detention, terrified.
The best is a group of people who heard what happened and immediately asked: What can we do? And then they did it.
I’m betting on that America.
