The temptation to always frame things as merely approaching but never actually crossing a red line has inured us to the reality that they are already defying court orders on a scale and as official policy to a degree unprecedented in American history.

President Trump has long amplified debunked or baseless theories. On Saturday, he shared a conspiracy theory on social media that falsely claimed former President Biden had been executed and replaced by a robot. It was the latest outlandish claim he has promoted online to millions of followers.

It’s better than even odds that Trump shared this dumb post because he didn’t have his glasses on and he liked the photo and now the White House press secretary will have to be like “Experts agree that it’s quite possible cyborgs walk among us, no matter what the fake news claims.”

Dear Sunday talk show anchors, Ask every Republican guest if they believe that Biden was executed and replaced by a robot in 2020 and why they believe Trump is still mentally fit after posting this— and don’t let them off the hook by saying it was a joke, or they didn’t see it.

If even a fraction of this is true, it’s a remarkable achievement & a mark of how far Ukr deep strike has come. ‘An operation by Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) has hit ‘more than 40" Russian bombers at air bases “in the rear of the Russian Federation”…’ kyivindependent.com/enemy-bomber...

The entire Trump presidency is a five alarm fire. But in terms of corruption, nothing is as problematic as what these f*ckers are doing with crypto. Absolutely blatant, wanton corruption. WATCH:

I keep seeing people say Musk “failed” in his government takeover. No, he did not fail. He shut down investigations into his businesses, he garnered huge contracts, and he stole the personal data of everyone in the US. That’s not a “failure.” This motherfucker won, and won big.

Musk may (or may not) be leaving Trump regime, but we do know the 32 federal investigations into Musk's companies that were all started before Trump came to office, are paused, dismissed or simply disappeared. Re-sharing my article on this: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/did-trump-...

This is striking. We now have two Trump-appointed judges directly knocking down Trump's power to simply create emergencies by decree and then assuming extraordinarily sweeping powers on that basis. This is the thing to watch. It's key to their dictatorial project. newrepublic.com/article/1959...

There are good Dems who realize what a menace Trump is who nonetheless think Trump's win offers some useful lessons. That's understandable. What's crazy dangerous are the Dems who think we have to meet him halfway. Never compromise with fascists. My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/why-dems-hav...

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people
