HARVARD PROF David Armitage: “We’re being made an example of by Trump — authoritarians across the world go for the universities first, because they’re set up for freedom of thought and provide critical opposition.”

"European officials have approached negotiations as though they are reasoning with an ally." Instead, Trump's team is pressing for "one-way offers" and has "implied this is not a give and take. It is just a take." This was Zelensky's mistake. Stop pretending the US under Trump is an ally. It's not.

This is a very weird flex. If you read two books a day you’re either reading pap or skimming. It’s like boasting that you get through Beethoven’s 9th in ten minutes by listening on fast forward.

The Trumpites are on the warpath about Biden's "autopen" — that he didn't actually sign orders. Trump has no idea what he is signing. Anyone who has dealt with declining relatives knows the way you could amuse them by letting them think they are doing big things. The difference in this case ...

This is how a democracy dies. Call your Senators and tell them no to taking away our checks and balances!

This tax extension bill not only further enriches the ultra wealthy, but it does so at the expense of everyone else, and it’s going to balloon the debt on a seismic scale. Not to mention… We already pay more $ on our interest payments every year than we do on defense, and we spend A LOT on defense.

I am going to walk myself out onto the sturdiest limb ever and say that every one of the people around him is benefiting in some way, some probably more audaciously than others, but they are basically all suckling hard at the orange power teet for every single drop they can get.

The CBO is nonpartisan and simply analyses the likely effects and potential consequences of policy. Bessent knows this, he’s just pushing a deep state narrative for his boss b/c the truth is that this bill is a debt time bomb which will be an anchor around the next several generations of Americans.

Americans can only be alarmed about these cuts if they hear about them. And therein lies the task for the Democrats. The Navigator poll shows that just 27 percent of Americans have heard “a lot” about Congress proposing cuts to Medicaid.

Mussolini’s Italy expelled university professors who opposed fascism. Franco’s Spain replaced university academics with regime loyalists Nazi Germany removed Jewish professors & left-leaning scholars. Academia is a threat to unified ideology. It’s why fascist regimes always target it.

Those are the boos of blatant hypocrites! Lying, gaslighting hypocrites who just voted to do EXACTLY what President Biden said they wanted to do. Elections have consequences. In 2024, 77.3 million Americans, many of them without even realizing it, chose to vote for Murder-Suicide, Country Edition.

Bob Iger and the rest of the media’s C-suite cowards bending their knee to Trump continue to demonstrate just how much they do not give a baker’s fuck if our country falls to fascism, as long as their quarterly profits are up and they get to keep their fortunes. www.thedailybeast.com/the-view-goe...

Richard Nixon's presidency-ending crimes were harmless high school pranks by comparison. We are so far past the "this should have immediately led to impeachment & removal" that we can't even see the exit/signs anymore. Barack Obama would have been ousted in days if he tried this authoritarian BS.
