"When regimes fall—even wicked regimes—chaos and instability follow. Nowhere is it written that whatever follows Trumpism must be more liberal. And in their death throes, authoritarian movements can cause tremendous damage."

The Forces of Trumpism Are in Disarray
This is what it looks like when a movement begins to come apart.

Ted Cruz claimed that 20% (mebbe it was just 20 ppl) of GOP Senators, over 400 GOP orgs & individuals had their phone log records subpoenaed in Jack Smith's probe, meaning that there's 100s of GOP-aligned asshats who conspired to overturn the 2020 election & overthrow the US govt. yet to be charged.

It is now very clear that word was going around GOP circles that Schmitt was definitely going to take down and humiliate Jack Smith, which makes the *opposite* happening even more delicious.

1. Democrats win control of the House and Senate. 2. Investigations and prosecutions begin. 3. Impeachment and removal proceedings. 4. Take back the billions of taxpayer money corruptly taken by the Trump family and their accomplices. 5. Rinse and repeat.

The last 2 weeks at FBI HQ: - deputy director resigns in frustration - veteran FBI counterterrorism supervisors demoted - massive data hack - Patel snubs FBI’s Canadian counterpart - Patel struggles to explain lower professional standards - Trump attacks FBI’s Butler probe www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
ms.now
As another deputy director resigns, Kash Patel’s FBI confronts even more chaos
The FBI will hopefully someday become a normal law enforcement institution again. That day, however, is not close.

After listening to Eric Schmitt today, I think it's high time we instituted a measure whereby - if a speaking lawmaker makes a brazenly false assertion, an airhorn warning goes off - and if they do it again or double down on it, the floor underneath them opens, swallows them up, and they disappear.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

On this date in 1941, Nazi occupiers began the two-day execution of more than 33,000 Jews in Kyiv, Ukraine. The killings took place at a ravine called Babi Yar. Between 100,000 & 150,000 Ukrainian Jews were executed at Babi Yar during the two-year Nazi occupation. Russia bombed Babi Yar in 2022

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, the media, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.
