It seems worth mentioning that, while many are just coming around to acknowledging that the regime is fascist it has gone from being authoritarian to being totalitarian

House Republicans abandoned their responsibilities and left DC. Dems need to get off their asses & take control. Call the House into session. Elect a new Speaker. Make the GOP reconvene to try gaining control. Just do it. Let them go to court. The old rules dont apply. We need radical action NOW

I think - given what's happening in Chicago, Portland, LA (and coming soon to a city near you) - that we need to start acknowledging that the administration has started a hot civil war. And they are escalating.

Observations: 1. Watch the crowd & public safety staff to see how people act during a real assassination. Look again at the Butler PA incident 2. When DJT disappeared there was a spike in the Pentagon Pizza Index. We all thought it was bcs he was dead 3. No one is talking about Epstein Files now

Reminder: we don't need Ghislaine Maxwell to get to the truth. It's sitting in files inside the DOJ that they could release TODAY. She is a liar, a child rapist, and a sex trafficker. Blanche is meeting with her to buy her silence, nothing more.

If a bill is so bad that you have to exempt entire states from its consequences to win the votes you need—just don't pass the bill! Why do people in Washington state deserve Medicaid & SNAP cuts, but others don't? This is plain wrong, and it's just no way to legislate.

I now believe that the man the government admits was rendered to the El Salvador gulag by mistake is dead, which is why they: 1. Won't tell the court anything about his current status, and 2. Why they say they can't bring him back

No, Corey Booker didn't technically filibuster anything. BUT what he did was an historic & powerful act of PROTEST. Taking over the floor of the Senate for a 24+ hrs act of protest of the actions of the sitting POTUS was no less legitimate or more performative than taking to the streets.

there are like three overlapping scandals with signalgate — illegal distribution of sensitive government materials by top members of the administration, illegal attempt to circumvent records laws and possible unlawful use of military force — and democrats should be screaming about them all

Also let’s be clear about why they’re talking over Signal — they are attempting to skirt their obligations under the federal record preservation laws and ensure no records exists for public review. It’s incredibly illegal, but what do they do that isn’t?

It's within his power to save Tesla. He could do it by divesting himself of Tesla stock, stepping down as CEO, and freeing them of the burden of association with him. They could then go back to just being a company that makes electric cars. Stock value would shoot up.

People who continue to say, "if X happens we're going to be in a constitutional crisis," are living in denial. The constitutional crisis already began. With Trump now defying Federal court orders in order to "disappear" people without charges or due process, we are in a constitutional collapse.

I’m so tired of hearing Rubio & other rightwingers now claiming that if you’re on a green card you’re a ‘guest’ in this country. BS. You’re a lawful permanent resident. The clue is in the name. If someone is a permanent resident in your home, are they the same as the guests who come and go? Come on.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.
