Look at what happened today in the world of entertainment—ABC's cancellation of Roseanne—then explain to me why Nancy Pelosi has taken the position, in the political arena, that no Democrat should speak publicly of the impeachment of a much more dangerous and influential figure.
2/ Now is a time for courage and moral clarity, and instead what we've gotten, from Democratic leadership, is vacillation—such an evident distaste for public displays of virtue, belief, or commitment to longstanding American values that it makes political leadership impossible.
3/ To those of us writing daily about the nation's sudden rightward turn toward autocracy and moral/ethical degradation, the Democrats have seemed, with only a *handful* of exceptions, entirely absent from the public square—apparently hoping to *cower* out a victory in November.
4/ The only thing more important than the midterm elections is every man and woman in America—including every politician in D.C.—clearly and publicly stating how and why Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to America that must be legally and peacefully removed from power.
5/ *Every day* this destructive force is degrading America's first principles and unraveling our sacred legal and political fabric. The idea that any "leader" would be deliberately laying low in hopes of electoral gains half a year from now is sickening—and history will judge it.
