If I didn’t know better, I’d say there’s a growing danger that Democrats’ powder might get a little damp…
I’m glad Murphy spoke up. Trump tests every boundary indiscriminately, and will absolutely run roughshod over anything we don’t defend. We have to assume an aggressive posture at the first sign that Trump is even thinking about approaching the fence, or he’ll be on the other side clawing at our throats before we know it.

ETA: O/T, but the opposite of “dry powder” is not “wet powder.” The idiom “keep one’s powder dry” means “remain alert,” because wet gunpowder won’t ignite and therefore cannot be used in an emergency. It doesn’t mean “conserve, rather than expend, limited reserves of power” (notwithstanding this memorably hilarious but underappreciated post from @seamus42). Interested parties may attend my sentencing at The Hague later this month.
