Trump told reporters at the White House that the protesters in Los Angeles “are insurrectionists.” That’s false. January 6 was an insurrection, this is a protest. But by using that language, he may be laying the groundwork to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act.

Major media are afraid to tell us that Trump is in the process of setting up a dictatorship. They know it — everyone closely following the news knows it — but they fear that telling such a stark truth would seem “partisan” and make them a target. Their failure to sound the alarm endangers us all.

Stephen Miller is privately raging over deportation numbers he deems too low. So he's shifting huge amounts of law enforcement resources away from fighting serious crimes and into his immigration crackdown. If voters knew about this, they'd recoil. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1961...

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

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

"Trump is unique among the nation’s presidents in having no interest in presiding over a functioning govt, let alone building institutions that will survive his term in office. That's why the analogies pundits have tried to draw between the early periods of other presidencies fall entirely flat."

The plutocrats in the MAGA coalition want this because it redistributes even more wealth upwards towards them; for the MAGA ideologues, this is about entrenching hierarchies of race, gender, and wealth in service of what they call the “natural” order. MAGA is at war with egalitarian democracy.

Started at 10%, ended at 10%. Trump’s “deal” means nothing. All his tariffs have done is caused supply chain disruption and sowed distrust in our relations with allies… and now the 10% tariff remains in place, still costing Americans.

Trump: "President Obama -- and if he wanted help I'd give him help -- he's building his library in Chicago & it's a disaster. He said something to the effect of 'I only want DEI. I only want woke.' He wants woke people to build it ... he didn't use good, hard, tough, mean construction workers."

At a time of massive inequality, Trump's budget is breathtaking in its degree of cruelty. It slashes funding for health care, housing & education that the working class desperately needs in order to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires & the Pentagon. That is morally obscene.
