Have you heard of his latest antics? The falling asleep at Pope Francis' funeral? The declaration that egg prices have gone down despite the opposite? Did you hear he still hasn't released the Epstein files? He can blame Biden all he wants, but there's no escaping it, Donald Trump is a terrible president.

Trump Trump Trump is what everyone talks about. Left leaning publications slap his misdeeds above the fold and get a billion clicks to their site. Right leaning publications slap his accomplishments above their fold and get a billion more. I write articles about him and get six.

But this isn't about Donald Trump. Not really.

There is a whole party of legislators that are marching in lock step with the president. Some of them are loud about their support, while others -- like my local wet fart of a US representative Jay Obernolte -- are more covert.

When Donald Trump pledges to deport whoever he feels like he wants to deport into inescapable prisons in central America, they say nothing. When he wants to run a cryptocurrency grift immediately after being elected president, they are silent. When he talks about lowering taxes for millionaires, they salivate.

At some point you have to connect the dots: this is what the Republican party wants. They want us to stop funding foreign hospitals. They want us losing power on the world stage. They want un-elected, un-vetted, unqualified tech brats to go into our government agencies and do God-knows-what to our personal data with little to no oversight. They want us to kick marginalized classes to the curb.

This isn't a case of "one guy is messing up the country," but a whole party doing as much damage to our federal institutions as possible.

What to do in these distracting of times? Stay focused on Congress. They are the ones that are working on making devastating changes to our country. At this moment, they are working on a budget bill that proposes cuts to services that Americans need. The House Energy & Commerce Committee is instructed to make at least $880 billion in cuts to the deficit over 10 years.

Do you know what the House Energy & Commerce Committee oversees? Medicaid.

I don't know about you, but I think the poor deserve access to non-emergent medical care.

Write your Congressman, let them know you aren't a fan of what's happening at Washington DC. Let them know that you know they have the power to right this American ship before it runs itself into a cliffside.

I know I will. My out-of-touch multi-millionaire congressman Jay Obernolte, for example, is one of the 54 members on the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Will I get a form letter in response?

Maybe. Probably. Most definitely.

But then I'll write him again. And again. Until something changes, either in his policies or my actions.
