What we saw last night from Trump was desperation. And the desperation of a would-be dictator is dangerous. We must be ready to confront Trump's attacks on elections. That may mean hitting the streets in huge numbers. He holds the reins of power, but we have people power. We can defeat the fascists.

Bondi, Bovino, Lewandowski and Noem. They served. They lied. They flailed. And now they’re political roadkill. An in memoriam for those we've lost in Trump 2.0.

Defendants violated their fundamental obligations as trustees and, in Defendant Grenell's case, as an employee. Their actions violated the trust's terms, as established by Congress in the United States Code. Defendants' actions were not taken in the best interests of a trust with a duty "to maintain and administer the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts" as "a living memorial to John Fitzgerald Kennedy?" And Defendants' actions wasted the trust property, including by expending resources to unlawfully deface the Kennedy Center's building and its
website; by diluting the Kennedy Center's brand and fundamentally undermining its mission; by
directly causing a reduction in ticket sales and donations; and by directly leading artists to cancel
performances or decline to perform at the Kennedy Center.

“You have arrived in hell.” That’s what the CECOT director allegedly told immigrants. Human Rights Watch said “Detainees were subjected to constant beatings and other forms of ill-treatment, including some cases of sexual violence” This is what CBS doesn’t want you to see.

We need at least as much outcry over CBS’s censoring 60 Minutes for Trump as over ABC’s attempt to fire Kimmel. Get loud, everybody.
White words on black background, “Boycott CBS until 60 Minutes runs the unedited CECOT story.”

Why should you be concerned about Trump “accidentally” deporting people who have zero criminal record? Because if he can do it to them — and ignore judges when they tell him to stop — he can do it to anyone he wants.
