Stage director/teacher. Great plays and films make us human. Quirky, outspoken, funny as hell.

With $300 billion, we could end homelessness, fund cancer research for 40 years, and give every child free pre-K for over 7 years. Instead, Trump is sending it to Iran. This is not America First. Not even close.

Donald Trump kicked millions of Americans off their health care insurance and gave tax breaks to the rich, including the world's first trillionaire—Elon Musk.
Has there ever been a better time to pass a wealth tax?

The dust is only worth a half million dollars so why even bother? Also it's all buried under a mountain so it was never coming out anyway.
I don't know how to help people who, after 11 years, still don't understand how he thinks.
Trump on the nuclear dust:
You could make the case: why are you even bothering? Because it's not really valuable.
But I think psychologically, we want to get it.

He's backing away from all the original goals of his war.
Remember, opening the Strait of Hormuz was not a goal of his war because it was already open before he attacked Iran.

He sent 13 service members to their deaths over “not very valuable stuff”?
168 Iranian school girls.
Thousands of civilians killed.
Our bases badly damaged.
Stockpiles depleted.
$80 billion price tag.
$6 gas.
For “not very valuable stuff”?

He never cared about the regime change, even though that's what he told the American people why he went in there. He doesn't even care that everyone knows he lies constantly.

Obama was heavily criticized for unfreezing $1.7B of Iranian assets. Trump is about to unfreeze $25B and possibly $300B in reconstruction funds.

The President promised the American people that his fancy new ballroom wasn’t going to be built with taxpayer dollars.
Another promise he didn't keep. We've just learned that half of it is paid for by your money.

This is a huge scandal.
They cut your health care while spending taxpayer dollars on a golden ballroom for Donald Trump.
And they lied about it.
According to documents from the White House ballroom contractor, the cost of the project is actually estimated at $600 million — and more than half of that is coming from taxpayers.

Trump's Iran deal is so fantastic that he won't show it to you.
Trump's Iran deal is so great for America that he won't let you read a word of it.
...Just like his taxes
...Just like his health care plan
...Just like Mexico paid for the wall.
It is all ONE HUGE LIE.

“No, America isn’t Nazi Germany, but Trump is absolutely a fascist, and Stephen Miller is a Nazi. If he could, millions would be put up against the wall. Miller is a monster.”

So the ballroom is a fiasco, the reflecting pool is a fiasco, the Iran war is a fiasco—the Trump administration is a fiasco.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

They really let a UFC fighter call our only Black First Lady a man on the White House lawn at an official White House event … while thousands cheered and the biggest podcaster in the world smiled.
There is no economic policy fix for this. Many of these people are just racist.

“Michelle Obama is a man” shouted on the White House lawn in a ring sponsored by Bud Light only available on Larry Ellison’s Paramount Plus. What a way to celebrate America 250 and the twilight of liberal democracy.

"America lost the war...We will exit the war with none of those goals achieved, and in order to end the war, America had to submit to a host of Iranian conditions. We lost and there is no reasonable way to hide this fact."

Donald Trump is destroying the world.
@SenSchumer is giving BS speeches on @CSPAN that no one watches.
The Democratic party has no leadership.

BREAKING: Chuck Schumer Just Delivered A Brutal Assessment Of Trump's Iran War.
Schumer argued that nearly every major justification offered for the conflict has moved in the wrong direction.
His list:
- Iran's regime is more radical.
- Iran has greater influence over the Strait of Hormuz.
- Gas prices remain significantly higher than before the war.
- Americans are still waiting for a clear explanation of what was gained.
"We are worse off than before Trump began this foolish war of choice."

How the fuck do we have $300 billion to rebuild Iran after we spent $80 billion bombing it, when we don’t “have the money” for pediatric cancer research?

This is insane. The admin claims to have a document that has been signed by both governments and Trump hasn’t even shared it with the Senate Majority Leader — from his own party!
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a member of the Gang of 8, tells @tedbarrettcnn he has NOT been briefed on Iran nuclear deal
