US citizens: support the Clean Power Plan.

Senator McConnell will block any effort to prevent the bully from firing investigator Mueller.

I interpret this as an effort to help the bully get rid of Mueller. Republican elected officials have basically surrendered to him, and lost the will to resist. They serve the bully no matter what he does, or might do.

Facebook and Google joined with ISPs to defeat a privacy initiative in California.

The corporate media acted as boosters for military action, as is their general practice.

The US Constitution requires the president to get authorization from Congress before attacking. I see no doubt that Congress would have given it, but the failure to ask Congress before bombing Assad's forces undermines the constitution. This bad tendency has persisted under several presidents. Some Democrats in Congress criticized the bully for not asking for authorization.

The bully says he has a secret excuse which he won't show to Congress.

The UK government did something similar.
