Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

I’m headed back to D.C. We’re just over 36 hours from a government shutdown, and the House GOP is nowhere to be seen. As in—literally not headed to work. From canceling votes, to refusing to negotiate, to threats of mass firings—here’s how the GOP is pushing towards a shutdown and what it means.

What the actual fuck is Trump even talking about? He just went on Truth Social to declare the racist “Great Replacement” conspiracy is “no longer a theory.” This is the same extremist garbage that inspired the Buffalo and El Paso mass shootings. He’s recycling message-board rants like their policy,

We need to take Dr. Snyder's advice. He's a very well educated, thoughtful man. He's studied this subject for decades. He knows what he's talking about.
A photo of the cover of the booklet On Tyranny, by Timothy Snyder.  It reads, On Tyranny, Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century, Timothy Snyder.A photo of the first page of chapter one of On Tyranny, by Timothy Snyder.  It reads, 1, Do not obey in advance, most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given.  In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked.  A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.
