The Trump regime wants to dismantle the International Criminal Court because it plans to continue committing war crimes. The Trump regime is refusing to allow international election monitors because it plans to continue committing election fraud. They are not being subtle.

Yes, just like it’s SOP for the New York Times & CNN to treat both parties as normal pro-democracy parties & stenographize/platform presidents & White House staff. It is a broken model completely unsuited to a political world in which one party has collapsed into far right authoritarianism.

Ignore the polls. Just assume EVERY battleground race is super close, assume they’re all a dead heat. Because that’s the truth. So why look at the polls? You already know what the deal is. All these battleground races are super, super close. Period. From here on out, ignore the polls. Vote.

Trump is afraid his vulgar, aggrandising Triumphal Arch is going to get blocked so he’s pivoted to a military use to get it through on National Security grounds.

@rea DonaldTrump
At the strong request of the United States Military, and for National Security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, planned since the Civil War Era many years ago, at the Receptive Circle adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas, and additionally have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage. There will be no facility like this anywhere in the World.
Out of the 59 top cities and Capitals, Washington, D.C., IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD THAT DOES NOT HAVE A TRIUMPHAL ARCH, but it will now and, by far, the greatest of them all! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

The SCOTUS ruling today prevents the USPS from not delivering ballots based on directives from the Trump admin. BUT, the late postmarks issue remains. To make sure your ballot gets counted, return it early and, even better if you can, drop it off in an official ballot dropbox to ensure it’s on time.

I think tearing down Trump's monstrosities, and scraping all that gold crap off the walls, would be healthy symbolism about recovering the country. In addition, fire all his appointees. He's the guy who wanted Schedule F - the next Dem POTUS should use it, then cancel Schedule F. But use it first.

One of the best pieces I published last year detailed how secret police in authoritarian states are formed. Part of the process is that they are guaranteed impunity by the regime in power. That is unmistakably what we are seeing in America today. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-secret...

Career-pressured officers are not making ideological commitments. They are making career bets. For the detour to be worth taking, they need to know they will be protected when they push legal and ethical limits. This signal must be credible, and it must be public — because it needs to be heard by everyone calculating whether the bet is worth making.
