Seems like a good time for a recap of Trump activity. Read to the end because trust me it gets incredibly bad: \u00a0 1] Trump blows Comey kisses, praising him for his help in Trump taking the White House \u00a0 2] Despite continuing questionable(but not negligent or illegal)statements from Comey, Trump says he still has…<\/p>\n<\/div>

Even worse was the messaging that came from an operative with CAP, who has become a little Twitter star among the Democratic faithful for his\u00a0endless Cheneyite exploitation\u00a0of terrorism fears to attack Republicans and justify gun watchlists. This is how he described Feinstein\u2019s bill: It\u2019s hard to put into words how appalling that is. This CAP…<\/p>\n<\/div>

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has proposed revising limits on toxic chemicals that can be released into surface waters, something it’s supposed to do from time to time under the Clean Water Act but hasn’t since the early 1990s. The agency is updating human-health criteria for 43 dangerous chemical compounds it currently regulates and…<\/p>\n<\/div>

But members of Congress are among the most powerful political actors in the country, and they are acting on an issue that is endlessly discussed and debated, not one that requires unusual tactics, like subverting order in the national legislature, to air all sides of the matter.

I don’t want to denigrate other people’s actions for change, but since the story is being so widely reported and commented on, I feel like I would be remiss in not sharing an opinion. \u00a0…<\/p>\n<\/div>

So Dems are conducting a filibuster in the Senate.
