I am in favor of frank, rational discussion of gun control with pro-gun folk because if given my way I will vote to have every gun you own, every gun in the world, taken from you and melted down and outlawed.

I am in favor of gun control because that is a future you do not want, and we are living in a present I cannot stand, so I suggest we begin finding a middle ground.

What we have is not sustainable.

The bill that mirrors Trump’s vision — the one that would have legalized 1.8 million dreamers only in exchange for huge new expenditures on border security and deep cuts to legal immigration — actually got the fewest votes in the Senate, garnering only 39. By contrast, the bipartisan compromise bill — which would have legalized the dreamers in exchange for huge new border-security expenditures and even some tweaks to legal immigration, while deprioritizing the removal of longtime residents — got the most, at 54. The White House whipped against the bipartisan bill because it would have only given Trump some of what he wanted, which lined up most Republican senators against it, including some moderates who might have voted the other way.

Trump and Republicans will own this disaster

Trump is a racist, and the GOP Congress that enables him is fine with it.

And while we’re at it, there’s a word for the people who are complicit in his racism: racist.
