Many political observers underestimate trumps desperate lawlessness, mocking him, poking fun at his ignorance. He is dangerous and psychotic, they do so at all our risk, and the rule of law. A Russian doll
You put the words to how i feel. My dad fought in 2 wars, and rests at Arlington. DC is sacred ground to me - there’s a sense of powerlessness being felt- we need Good Orderly Direction. Gone is the uplifting momentum movement pre election - Now it feels like abuse reigns and I am in a bunker .
If the courts have no physical means of enforcing their orders and Congressional Republicans and SCOTUS have no intention of upholding the Constitution, then the coup is done. We are a fascist country.
Agreed. Just want to believe, we are in the formative stages of authoritarianism.
However, the dictator is in place; sweeping rapidly through everything-the country IS in shock daily. Most citizens aren’t feeling it quite yet. Hoping there’s STILL time to reverse the trend IF they act now.
Ezra Klein is a two bit hack that thinks he knows everything and has all the answers. He helped fuel the attack on Biden that pushed him out. I would NOT be surprised if Klein is compromised in some way.
Ezra Klein's view that we can survive this, as if by pretending this is normal our chance to restore the government will come around, is frightening. Democrats appear to embrace this too, not acting as if this is a five alarm fire. The term "administrative coup" nails it, makes this crisis clear.
100%. We need only look to the evidence of our eyes & ears. Elected Dems, journalists, celebrities, & pundits must use their larger platforms to organize & support mass citizen protests and strikes. It is our duty as citizens to rebel against tyranny. This doesn't include playing dead & hoping.
If you've listened to his podcast the 50 days since, you'll hear he hasn't stuck to this op like glue. He is, always has been, an observe 1st kind of guy, but he's definitely aware of whats happening and isn't sitting around blindly putting faith in the myth of institutional safety
Clearly POTUS EO’s & GOP Congress’ purposeful unlawful obstruction, destruction of govt functions, infrastructure & intimidation against Americans is obvious.
Q: Any remedy in Obstruction & interference of Congress against members deceitful collusion?
The points are well-taken, but Ezra Klein would be the last person on Earth I'd expect to muster a "Power to the People" kind of response to anything. He's a product of the old system and thus cannot fully comprehend a reality where that system no longer controls.
He is also too arrogant to admit to himself that he’s gotten it so catastrophically wrong.
The NYT has spent a decade screaming “you don’t know how journalism works, now give us money, plebs!” at even the very smallest of potential criticisms.
The sooner these people are out of a job, the better.
Ezra Klein is completely wrong. Lawrence H. Tribe is completely right. Things are rarely this clear-cut. Trump will never stop until he is stopped. Nothing about this is normal.
If we're lucky you'll be able to vote in Democrats in 2026.
In the meantime, help out with special elections.
Judge Susan Crawford is running for Wisconsin Supreme Court-- and it's a dealbreaker for MAGAs if she wins what will be a close race. Help her win! https://www.crawfordforwi.com/
I was at that meeting in 1996 and Robert Mercer told me he would be my God from now on and the DOJ was there. This coup is not new and it is deep within every aspect of the Executive Branch.
All of a sudden? You mean the guy who spouted Nazi slogans and said he’d be a dictator on day one? He’s throwing more/crazier shit against the wall now, but the tariff plans and autocrat stuff was always there
Need to invoke the 25th on 47. Won’t solve all the problems that have been (already) created but will help contain them. Better to begin a recovery process earlier than later (after even more damage has been done).
25>>47!

They use $ from people like you to platform Nazi accounts.
It's insane..a governmental coup
Vote Republicans OUT of office, while you still can.
Tell your elected representatives what you want, today.
Help get out the BLUE vote in special elections-- oh here's one that could swing the country

What a sad waste of a human life. What a sad legacy.
The USA was turned into a Banana Republic Dictatorship by these voters.
Why did he suddenly start acting like a former KGB agent who wants to get the Soviet republics back together?
Not sure with what, but Trump’s been compromised.
