The fraternity brothers in the group chat who cheer violence? That behavior is being modeled by the president of this country. I cannot stress this enough — Trump is teaching young men how to be abusive every time he opens his mouth.

I think that evacuating strategic bombers from an allied nation 3400 miles or so from the conflict area is probably a bad sign.

I'm not naive enough to actually believe this will happen, but Democrats could be preparing, right now, lists of impeachment charges against (at a bare minimum) Hegseth, Kennedy, Mullin, Patel, Blanche, & Trump, as well as Bondi, Bovino, & Noem (still worth doing!) that rely purely on public facts,

As long as he’s aiming his invective at concepts associated with Black people he’s perfectly fine, once he strayed from anti-Black racism the mainstream press began to notice his bigotry.

Trump’s TIME interview should have been treated about like Biden’s debate performance. That it mostly wasn’t says a lot about the media’s ongoing normalization of Trump’s cognitive downward spiral.

Repetition is Good. Repetition is how you make your point. Repetition is how you reach the vast majority of the population that doesn't follow politics closely. Impeach Now. Impeach Often. Impeach Relentlessly.

Rich Democrats who love Heather Cox Richardson should know that history is being defunded and cut in public higher education everywhere. You want voters to be historically informed? Endow some faculty lines at your local public university. Spend the money! The Right certainly is!

To add....why I think we need impeachment votes.... After watching the Jack Smith Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, it was clear that the Republicans are...well....worried and guilty. Forcing a vote forces them to expose who they are. Watch what they do.

Nobody knows the future. but nobody has to know the future. Impeachment is the right thing to do. and it has no downside. Exploiting the scandalous malfeasance of your opponent is Politics 101. It works. It always has worked. It can work now with a serious impeachment effort too.

Not just impeachable. Impeachment, both pres. and agency heads, is the only option. It's impeachment or nothing. Courts won't stop it. Other tools are impotent. Put them on trial the only way you can. Even if you can't get 2/3, use process as punishment. Make it miserable and costly. It can be done.

Any three Truth Social posts alone provide enough grounds to impeach. Sure, investigate the full extent of the damage he's done. But fire him first, so he at least has to stop doing it.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵
Martin Kao, CEO of defense contractor Navatek, poses next to Sen. Susan Collins for a photo. Collins is holding a model of a boat in her hands. Behind them is a large sign with the Navatek logo.

Recent polls suggest Florida, Mississippi, and South Carolina Senate may be in play too. And independents who’d caucus with Dems are close or leading in Kansas, Nebraska, and Idaho. Also, I’ve never seen a candidate polling higher than their name recognition. Voters really, really hate Republicans.

The CW idea impeachment backfires isn't true. Nor is there any value in surrendering in advance on conviction. But there's a more important long-term consideration. Looking at all this and saying nope, we're not even going to say he should be removed, is locking in a message for future presidents.

I think the arch nonsense is more about claiming a ludicrous security purpose in the litigation like he did for the ballroom. But the general point is true: he has absolutely no intention of a peaceful transfer of power in Jan 2029, and planning and preparation for that is no doubt already underway.

We are seeing, in other words, an empirical demonstration that the Trump v. Anderson case was decided wrongly. Much of the Constitution is barely in effect or even outright de facto suspended. The laws are not obeyed. Courts are disobeyed & defrauded. The Founders would not call this a government.
