"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies. They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

If you don’t think that at some point he’s going to show more interest in the 5,044 nuclear weapons he controls, you’re as deluded as the people who thought he’d never tank the stock market and the economy.

Anyone discounting a 3d Trump term per the 22d am + the 12th am is thinking magically: The 22d dsn’t bar serving a 3d term, only being elected 3 times. The 12th dsn’t bar running for VP unless “ineligible” to serve as Pres, but Trump isn’t ineligible. QED! www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/u...

Important. Either Trump is so far gone mentally he doesn’t know what he’s doing, or people are acting in his name without his knowledge. This was an order with enormous implications, and the President of the United States says he didn’t do it.

Whoa whoa whoa, it turns out if the President constantly says you run DOGE, and you constantly say you run DOGE, and you publicly give numerous examples of running DOGE, then a court will say "this guy runs DOGE." Whaaaaa?! 🤯 Must be a radical leftist judge or something.

So WIRED talked to actual federal auditors about how government auditing works—and how DOGE is doing the opposite. “In no uncertain terms is this an audit,” claims the second auditor. “It’s a heist, stealing a vast amount of government data."

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip: He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress. He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession. He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law. Keep fighting.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Agree. He has an audience as well. His countrymen don’t want to see their President groveling before a Putin lackey. Their determination is grounded in their national pride. Zelensky powerfully vindicated that today. To see your President stand up to the two greatest powers in the world? Priceless.

Among the more inhumane things Trump/Musk have done this week, DOGE cut off food, water, & fuel to the US embassy in South Sudan. They are living on what power the generator can provide. The country has no potable water & there's a cholera outbreak in the country. These Americans are in real danger.

The GOP in Congress is pushing a bill that would require every American to show a passport, birth certificate, or one of a few other citizenship documents every time they register or re-register to vote. But more than 21 million Americans don’t have easy access to such documents.

The depravity of Republicans knows no end. Not only have they passed legislation to loot the poor to feed the insatiable greed of the rich; but now Trump has successfully blackmailed Ukraine for minerals in order to continue aid. This is what MAGA voted for and I hope they choke on it.
