He'll Never Be Respected in the World www.americaamerica.news/p/hell-never...

All of us…

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

•DISORDER IN GEORGIA• Many constituents at Marjorie Taylor Greene’s town hall last night were furious. Vehement opposition to Greene’s representation, the Trump regime’s fascist takeover, and destructive Republican policies led to explosions of anger and chaos. •GREENE’S GOONS• Within minutes…

I love this! 👇🏻

I am but a humble cable news host with a bachelor’s in philosophy, but I feel like at some point the bond market is also going to notice that the GOP is going to pass a deficit financed 5 trillion dollar tax cut. Maybe?

BREAKING: The Supreme Court says the Trump administration must facilitate the return of a Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador.

Once you get into business with the Mob, you can never get out.

Never forget that the chief complaint against Biden was “the economy is terrible.” You utter imbeciles

Mainstream media is doing a woefully inadequate job of highlighting the horrors ICE is committing across the USA. My hunch is that is by design.

From the former editor of the conservative Orange County Register newspaper "It's 'Liberation Day' ...the day we're liberated from our retirement savings. The day we're liberated from paying low prices for high-quality imported goods. Liberated from imported produce..."

Don’t call them tariffs. Call them import taxes.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

Indeed.

A real, rolling filibuster is a thing of beauty.

I said this weeks ago. Columbia, Penn, Harvard etc...are not "cowering." And for years before this, I said that the most important political ed on campuses should be to study who is on the board of trustees. That's the needed "power analysis."

Thank you to everyone has reached out to offer kind words of support. I will fearlessly and unapologetically continue to stand up for democracy, no matter what the president says or does. Democracy Docket will do the same. It won't back down. It will never obey. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Dear Democratic Members of Congress, Stop telling me about what he's doing. We can all see it. Start telling me about what you're doing to stop it! Signed, Americans

These are the heroes of our time. Be on the right side of history folks. Do right by the rule of law and democracy. Do NOT be a coward who obeys in advance!

One thing that is clear from these headlines is that the big news orgs don't have a vocabulary or strategy for how to report to readers when the President claims to do something he not only lacks authority to do but even the power to do. That's a very basic, foundational thing.

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein

International Fuck Trump Day Updates: #IFTD Many of you have suggested celebrating this every day—I love that energy! That’s the spirit! To make this holiday truly special, we need to set it apart from an ordinary day. Here are two options: 1/X
