He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Now that Trump has proven to be a ruthless autocrat, too many have grown timid and silent. That is simply not who I am. It is not what I believe, and it is not what I will do. Instead, I will worry. I will hope. And I will fight. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-wo...

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Well, looks like we’re already here. The Trump administration willfully defied a court order. Hopefully the court will hold the government in contempt. What happens next is going to tell us exactly what direction we are headed

STOP DOING TRUMP'S WORK FOR HIM. STOP CONCEDING HE CAN DO ILLEGAL SHIT VIA EO. STOP SAYING THE EQUIVALENT OF, "OH WELL, NO ONE WILL STOP HIM, WE MIGHT AS WELL GIVE UP." STOP IT. DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION AND THE RULE OF LAW. ALWAYS.

Trump wants protests, especially with violence, so he can unleash the military, crack down, declare martial law and cancel elections. He'll assume complete power. Republicans and Supreme Court will support him. I don't know why people think he's leaving peacefully. He's never leaving, folks.

REPUBLICANS! You don’t still believe that Trump is planning to mass-deport 15 million undocumented immigrants at a cost of $145 to $194 billion per year because they are taking your jobs, do you?

America, be very clear about what Trump/Vance are doing right now attacking these judges. They’re laying the groundwork to defy a court order. They’re laying the groundwork to ignore the rule of law.

At what point will the media acknowledge that we are living in a police state? I ask that question sincerely.

Those bonehead Republicans managed to convince their base that trans women in sports was a huge issue—without showing a damn shred of data. They never drop facts because that would wreck their narrative. Look at these numbers… Less than 10 trans athletes out of 510,000 NCAA athletes nationwide.

So the parents of 19 year old Edward Coristine, aka Big Balls, he of Elon’s Nazi Youth Brigade, are the owners of Lesser Evil snacks. A boycott is in order until they come collect their boy.

Do older Americans know that Elon Musk now controls access to their Social Security and health insurance?

Enough. The Democrats must shut down the Senate and use their power. Stop voting for these idiots. Stop all unanimous consent. Demand answers. Filibuster. Where is the fucking outrage?
