Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.

Is it, in spite of it being an unbelievable outcome, that they have all “turned” & are beyond enamored with power & control, almost to trump’s level? OR
Do they walk in constant fear? Do they fear for their families? Think of his flipping off the Ford worker, the school children. ThreatCapable🇺🇸⚖️

We are in a death cult. It affects everyone. Trump literally does not care about human life. Not anyone’s but his own. And he has surrounded himself with sociopaths.

It's both shameful and baffling. It speaks partly to individual shortcomings, yes, but also points to a huge flaw in the system. Congress clearly has its own imperatives quite separate from the constituencies it purports to represent and which, in its collective mind, it considers superior to them.
