IMPEACHMENT

OBSTRUCTION

DOJ

Someone needs to correct both Trump’s and Whittaker’s apparent assumption that the Justice Department should handle justice the same way a Fire Department deals with fire. https://t.co/a0sLSlk62H

absurd

Another example that we are living in the Theater of the Absurd: Shutting down the government for a wall that Mexico won't pay for, that is really steel slats, now masquerading as a metaphor.

Louis CK

respect

Louis CK is a good reminder that when people with power ask for respect it’s called “civility” and is sacred, but when people without power ask for respect it’s called “political correctness” and is the butt of jokes.

Tomorrow:

-GOP House bill with $5b for @POTUS vanity wall dies

-No more stupid House hearings on Hillary's emails or regulating free speech of internet companies

-Stephen Miller's fantasy of changing the laws to restrict legal immigration ends in a whimper#HappyNewYear2019

We’re still here

I'll end my year on Twitter with the Resistance anthem I wrote as a finale to my recent revue of Trump-themed parodies. The melody is Sondheim's, but the words could be direct quotes from any number of new friends I've met here this last harrowing yet often congenial year.😘❤️🎶 pic.twitter.com/ZkmwCvwpBU

Ultima thule

*** HELLO, HELLO! ***

January 1, 2019. The @NASANewHorizons spacecraft, launched in January 2006, encounters 20km wide Kuiper-Belt comet 2014-MU69, the farthest object we’ve ever seen close up.
