These Republicans have come to believe that their dishonesty and gas lighting should be ignored. They learned this strategy at the feet of their mentor - DJT.

In a normal world Waltz and Hagseth would be fired for leaking the info and setting up the chat. Gabbard and Ratcliffe would go for possibly misleading Congress yesterday.

Adding a journalist to a top secret government group chat about dropping bombs *IS* the kind of thing people who aren’t super politically literate can understand and find shocking/notable/disqualifying. Dems should seize on this and never ever let it go. I hope to hear about it in a decade

Trump is relentlessly attacking the courts and specific judges (Boasberg) over on Truth Social. Calling them lunatics who are trying to destroy the country. Meanwhile it is he who is trying to destroy every last vestige of democracy, the rule of law, and the Constitution.

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money. He was not dead.

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.

Authoritarians govern through fear, not legislation. The simple fear of what they would do in certain situations can push even the opposition to capitulate. That’s success for them. We lose when we fold due to a hypothetical. We win when we challenge the REALITY that is hurting working people.

Musk suffers from the same delusion as his fans: he imagines he knows things because he has money. This has caused him to repeatedly embarrass himself publicly, and the humiliation makes him more resentful of criticism instead of triggering self reflection. He shouldn't be anywhere near government

Centuries from now, it might almost seem comical that Republicans were so scared of not being reelected that they angered their constituents so much, they risked not getting reelected—and maybe even made their jobs obsolete.

Trump’s murderous freezing of aid that Congress enacted a law to send to Ukraine unconstitutionally usurps the power of the purse, violates the 1974 Impoundment Act, and is an impeachable “high crime and misdemeanor” akin to the extortion for which the Senate should have convicted Trump in 2020.

Chris Murphy: "It appears as if America is trying to align itself with dictators, that Donald Trump wants us to have our closest relationships with despots all around the world, because that makes it easier for him to transition American into a kleptocratic oligarchy."

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

It has begun: my department was in negotiations with an outstanding scientist for a faculty position. That faculty candidate has now withdrawn citing political upheaval, and is strongly considering moving her career to Europe. The US is no longer the premiere destination for research scientists.

Chris Murphy Emerges as a Clear Voice for Democrats Countering Trump
The third-term senator from Connecticut is eschewing caution and throwing out the traditional political playbook as he seeks a broader audience for his critiques of the president and his agenda.
