Caesar is Not relevant for Trump. He was a an outstanding war general and a politician with depth. Trump is like Caligula, a crazed sociopathic fuck. Had Caligula tried to destroy the Republic he would have failed. Ultimately Trump will as well. And they might share an ending

The world is watching Donald Trump abandon Ukraine and our European allies to curry favor with the Kremlin. All of us — Democrats, Republicans, elected officials and ordinary citizens — must push back with every tool we have if we are to save our own democracy and others.

With Trump loyalists now running the military, the FBI and the CIA, Trump knows he has people in place who will obey his orders. Even if they are illegal.

The nature of “shock and awe” is that it makes it hard to see or think clearly. What’s playing out through a veneer of chaos is a deliberate tactical program to create a system in which the President has sole authority over the entire executive branch: www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Thanks to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, firefighters who just finished weeks of around-the-clock shifts fighting dangerous fires were given a note from their Commander in Chief: "Please quit." That’s a hell of a way to say thank you.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

You are right. But it's 2025. Talking about it as if it will happen is how politics works. It also forces right wing media to talk about it and if there is enough Dem proposed legislation, Trump and Elon have to respond to the Dems rather than vice versa

Donald Trump firing ~7000 IRS workers will mean three things: 1) More tax loopholes for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations 2) More debt, since IRS agents collect a lot more than they cost 3) Fewer ways to go after big tax cheats A great day to be a billionaire in America.

Winston Churchill was right: "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried.” Too many Americans have fought and died defending democracy. We must stand with our European allies against the authoritarianism of Putin and Trump.

Trump - with his devotion to Putin, abandonment of Ukraine, and lies about history- is the antithesis of everything Ronald Reagan stood for. He is aligning America with the enemies of the very freedom that generations have fought and died to defend.
