Fun fact: the U.S. House can sue a sitting president with a simple majority vote. If the Democrats retake the chamber, they should do more than just "investigate" Trump's corruption. They should sue him in federal court for the illegal ballroom, Qatari jet, and more.

And Thank you Joe Biden & Kamala Harris for clearly articulating the threat Trump was to our democracy, and then spending 4 years pretending they couldn't do anything. Garland played at going after the little fish. What did they need to find? He did it all out in the open, on TV! FFS!

@nbcnews.com NBC News tonight reported on market reaction to the interest rate hike and Trump’s reaction but never reported on the actual Fed rate hike. (I had to google it.) We also got a piece on the Chief of Staff being cancer free and a long piece on last week’s duct taped airline passenger.

There’s a lot that is heartbreaking in this piece but I was especially struck by her father’s shock over how quickly Cuban culture and character changed, becoming so ugly and hate filled in a short time. The US has absolutely changed fundamentally in the same way www.miamiherald.com/opinion/edit...

Came across a picture of JFK’s Oval Office and was struck by the restraint and simplicity, the scale, white space, small landscape paintings. It’s so American.
JFK’s Oval Office with painted white walls, blue curtains and blue carpeting. Landscape paintings. Trump’s Oval Office with gold curtains, baroque floral Damask wallpaper (that had been discontinued but reproduced for Trump), gold filigree applications along the entire room, gold cherubs added to the pediments, beige carpeting, gold framed paintings of presidents and the Declaration of Independence behind curtains

Unhinged press briefing statement from Karoline Leavitt sounds like it was written by Trump himself. Delivered with blistering anger, it includes phrases like “stupid agreements… by Barack Hussein Obama,” and cites the 1979 embassy takeover as requiring this war. It’s comical, like an SNL skit

Filming federal agents in public is not a crime, nobody should be harassed or restrained for doing so, nobody should have their phone confiscated for it, and nobody should get the death penalty for it. This is supposed to be a free Republic, not an authoritarian police state.

“Even before Trump, this agency was riddled with excesses and abuses. But now that Trump has shown how ICE can be transformed into a paramilitary outfit that can pick up, beat, and kill anyone—immigrant and citizen alike—it needs to be abolished, not reformed.” open.substack.com/pub/theunpop...

The Trump era in a nutshell: Ordinary citizens are holding ICE accountable, while large law firms are doing nothing. Small businesses are speaking out, while large corporations remain silent. Independent media show moral urgency, while legacy media reports "both sides."

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

At left: a New York Times letter to the editor from October 9, 2001, warning that "the newly formed homeland security office" could lead America to a very dark place At right: Tweets today from the Trump Department of Homeland Security
To the Editor:

To aid the newly formed homeland security office, some Americans have advocated the formation of a volunteer ''army'' of citizens -- retired or otherwise -- that would be ''enlisted'' for purposes of neighborhood surveillance and investigation (letter, Oct. 9).

This idea strikes me as frighteningly Orwellian. Will every out-of-the-ordinary activity be monitored? Will we have to keep our curtains drawn and doors shut for fear of being turned in by our neighbors, friends and children? Have recent events changed our worldview so radically that we are willing to endorse a police state?

Is America to become a nation of spies?
