Pelosi is right to say no to Trump's speech. Holding it now would convey that things are normal.

But they aren't. The shutdown, the wall, the lying -- this is a civic emergency.

The answer is: No, we're not doing this.

When is everyone going to admit that this IS theConstitutional Crisis?
We are in it kiddos.

Too many people are treating this as mere "humiliation" for "toddler" Trump, as if this is *only* about denying Trump an audience.

That trivializes what's happening here:

Government is forcing people to work w/o pay, the oligarchy got a huge wealth transfer, the Senate is voting in league w/ Russia & our POTUS is the subject of countless investigations
