According to a new NYT investigation, at least 44 governors, 70 US senators, and 185 House members have faced violent threats over the past two years. Their staff and families as well. A key source of this danger is Donald Trump, as I documented earlier this year. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

How Trump is using violent tragedies to divide America

ICE shootings, assassinations, mass attacks, and other traumas all serve as ammo for the demagogue in chief.

As the Trump government again targets Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, it's also worth recalling the horrific response from Trump himself when Omar was violently accosted last January—disparaging her as "a fraud" and falsely suggesting the attack was staged. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... 3/x

Adding to this: it’s not just that the Constitution allows for impeachment; it COMMANDS it upon the commission of treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors by federal office holders. The word “shall” is a command, not a plea.

The symbolism escapes them all: a democratically elected President was murdered at Ford's theater after a race-based civil war. I'm sure they're thinking Trump = Lincoln, but history will see the truth: Trump = Confederacy and attempted subversion of democracy.

I would like to think he's on the way out, but then I think of how long Stephen Miller has hung on just because he's mean. Trump loves that. If Hegseth can pull it off making it look like we chose to walk away from Iran, I think he'll keep him for the racism,sexism, and bootlicking.

this is a great illustration of one of the fundamental insights of democracy — that there is no such thing as "the people" and that majorities are elusive and ever shifting. no election, no decision, is final and treating an election as a final decision is profoundly undemocratic.
