Y’all, I know this isn’t over. I know we need to keep fighting until every one of those babies is back with their families. I know damage was already done. I know he will weasel out of any bit of this he can.
BUT…. this is still a HUGE victory for us. We called. We donated. We yelled. We called some more. We yelled more.
And it worked. We raised awareness of this issue. We turned the tides. We got the world on our side.
And that a-hole caved. He screwed over every Republican who stood by his evil plan and defended it. He folded like a deck of cards.
We proved, once again, that America is great because America is good. Just like with the Muslim ban and the ACA repeal, we fought and fought and we won.
I know this is tiring. I know this sucks. I know we can’t let down our guard.
But we also need to take a victory lap once in a while, and this is one of those times.
As Rick Wilson says “A reminder...Trump lost, and lost badly today. This was a PR, political, legal, and moral disaster and it's unspeakably awful for him. Also, Manafort is still in jail, Michael Cohen is ready to squeal, and the dumb spin on the IG report got overtaken by events.”
Boom!
Oh, and just to top off his day the Senate rejected his plan to claw back spending.
