The legislative branch is self-immolated. The judicial branch survives only at the pleasure of our current president. We are already living under authoritarianism. Only our state and local governments can save the country. It’s been a wild, 250-year run.

It struck me, just now, that what is different, what has changed, is that one side has abandoned the notion that competing with the other is better for everyone, and now seeks to simply eliminate the other side. 1-

Unacceptable. A road — possibly associated with Tren de Aragua — left unpaved by Minnesota radicals weaponized itself against two of our courageous officers, causing one to discharge his firearm in self-defense. We stand by our brave boys.

Watched this at 2x speed. 1. Jack Smith was prepared, resolute, certain of his rectitude. Never reacted, only responded. 2. The GOP questioning found no purchase with Smith, belying their case.

You guys! You have to read this thread on the batshit hearing in Maryland for Abrego! (And then, you’ll have to take a shower.)

Israel strikes Iran and says nothing to the US. Other world leaders no longer respect the US because the current US leaders: Won’t keep secrets. View all struggles as zero-sum. Favor tyranny over democracy. Employ chaos as a means. Disdain humility. Pass the buck. Break their word.

Who knew? Our schools, hospitals, and communities are destroyed. Invaders now occupy the US. There’s a school across the street that looks great, but Trump says is destroyed. Totally got past me.
