So hey, how's that constitutional crisis going?
Jim Comey thinks President Trump feeds on the souls of appointees like his AG and bends them to his will. But Bill Barr is doing exactly what he believes in and it’s why he signed on. This isn’t about a lack of “inner strength.” It’s a power grab. https://t.co/RhI3eCzgQI

What @chrislhayes said: this is not about legal niceties. It's about power. Democrats are either going to use the power they have or they won't. Democrats will either "meet maximalism with maximalism," or they shy away and let Trump rule unchecked. There's no third lane.

I suppose there are some lines of work in which disgraced male sexual harassers can make a comeback, but political punditry isn’t one of them.
You’re discussing power, and that includes women in power. Your credibility is shot, your take untrustworthy.https://t.co/3hDEw1YcHF— Michelangelo Signorile (@MSignorile) May 3, 2019
Um, #MorningJoe booked 2 cis men to talk Trump's new regulation that medical providers can deny care if it they morally object. Is there some medical procedure for men that has been legislated constantly? No? Then by all means, let them talk about those who it will devastate
