I am watching with grave concern over the actions of the South Korean president to declare martial law, all because the opposition has blocked his agenda and impeached his cabinet. Democracy is under assault across much of the world. We must be on highest guard here as well as Trump takes office.

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

A Chinese national, charged with fraud by the SEC, just sent Donald Trump $18 million
Chinese Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun paid $6.2 million for a banana — sold by Sotheby's as conceptual art — and then ate it last Friday.

I get it. You don't like that Trump is getting away with all the crimes. He was indicted, the trial date was set, and you knew he had to lose the election or he was never going to see prison. It's easy to blame Biden, or Garland, or Smith, but before you do, blame everyone who voted for Trump.

If you really wanted Trump to see prison, you had 4 years to do everything you could to make sure he lost this election and ended up in prison. Did you do everything you could do? Don't answer. Just reflect.

To scare you into silence. Into compliance. To make you avert your eyes as he undoes what took over two centuries to build. For fear of his retribution. There is a fine line between fear and fury. So when you look at what he's trying to do. How he's trying to make you feel. Let it be fury.

Remember when MAGAs pretended the popular vote on November 6 was a final tally and published chart after chart online claiming Kamala Harris had gotten “21 million fewer votes” than Joe Biden, and this proved—so they said—the 2020 vote count was fraudulent? Well, down to 7M. And counting continues.

Every time Trump does something depraved and authoritarian, like calling to investigate his political targets, Dems should message it in a way that points out he’s focused on petty nonsense instead of lowering prices. Have to play to Americans’ self-interest, not just their decency.

Throughout the election, we begged the media to stop focusing on the horse race, and instead discuss the **impact** that the candidates’ policies would have. Now that the election is over, they’re choosing to focus on, wait for it, how **fast** Trump is making cabinet nominations. They’re useless.

If we didn’t believe the US was worth saving we’d simply move on and ignore you. Believe in the you that we believe you can be, not the you they are telling you to be. Being brave doesn’t mean not being afraid, it means standing up to evil and injustice even when you are afraid.

It was a 49% to 48% election. Fascism won by a hair. And it took Russian and MAGA bomb threats, a hoax regarding battleground-state police raids, an illegal Musk-funded lottery, $600M given to Trump by just 15 people, Netanyahu meddling in our politics, and Democrats staying home for it to happen.
