Biden: I will leave my successor and my country with a strong foundation to build on if they choose to do so. It's true, some may seek to deny or delay the clean energy revolution that's under way in America, but nobody, nobody can reverse it.

I feel like—ten years into the Trump era—journalists should have better language for what is happening that goes beyond verbs like shocking, upending, overturning, frustrating... Every educated person understands Donald Trump is at war with the United States itself. He's doing violence to America.

Trump Signals a ‘Seismic Shift,’ Shocking the Washington Establishment
The president-elect’s early transition moves amount to a generational test of a system as he seeks to rewrite the balance of power and install lieutenants to blow up key parts of government.

The resistance will mostly look like ordinary people's noncompliance, and this example is--well deep bow to the superintendents.....

Even if McConnell told Trump there’d be no recess appointments, there’s no reason we should believe Mitch. None. One of Trump’s biggest accomplices ever. We are still full speed ahead in blocking these unqualified and unfit nominees.

Anyway, it's not an echo chamber, it's a neighborhood cookout in my backyard. Everyone's invited and welcome, but the second you act like a shithead to me or our neighbors, I throw you over the fence into the gully.

When Speaker Johnson says that the House Ethics Committee can’t release their report on Gaetz after he resigned because it would set a “bad precedent”, he’s gaslighting you. It’s been done before. www.foxnews.com/politics/hit...

Just absorbing the fact that the first order of business in the new QAnon-inflected MAGA Republican era is to demand that Congress bury its report on sex trafficking and drug allegations against a Republican member of Congress who they're trying to promote to higher office.

It was a 49% to 48% election. Fascism won by a hair. And it took Russian and MAGA bomb threats, a hoax regarding battleground-state police raids, an illegal Musk-funded lottery, $600M given to Trump by just 15 people, Netanyahu meddling in our politics, and Democrats staying home for it to happen.

So when all you Constitutional Conservatives start your own party, IMHO Independents, Progressives, and Democrats will form coalitions with you on key issues...like EU voting blocs. Does this look like a path the US can take post MAGA disintegration (already in progress)?

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”
Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid:

“Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s.

Over half of those deported were US citizens.”

The Senate has a responsibility to place a check on the President’s power. Donald Trump’s national security appointments are simply too dangerous and unqualified to serve.
