🔥 The disarray is in full view now.

Trump’s pontificating about decorations in today’s meeting while his Cabinet tore itself apart. Gabbard is hunting NSA and CIA emails for disloyalty, Rubio and Grenell are running competing prisoner negotiations without telling each other, and Trump is whining about Putin’s honesty on live TV.

The authoritarian machine sounds like an unbalanced washing machine about to walk itself off a cliff, and we need to keep it rocking.
