We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

In her interview with Vaughn Hillyard, DOE Sec Linda McMahon insists that schools like Harvard must admit more MAGA Republican students and hire more MAGA faculty. In other words, she wants a DEI policy for MAGA people both in admissions and faculty hiring. Preposterous and illegal.

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

A review of Trump's personalized and intensely erratic conduct with respect to tariffs suggests that he's really interested in destabilizing markets and damaging the US economy—that more than anything else. This weekend, for instance, his tariffs lasted 18 hours. www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/z...

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

I need someone to explain to me how declaring war on some of our best universities is helping America. Are all the R members of Congress who went to those universities (there are a bunch of them) ok with this? Shameful.

Kristi Noem tells Harvard's thousands of foreign students that they "must transfer or lose their legal status"—and that newly admitted students can't enroll. This is because Harvard is "pro terrorist" because it tolerates people who talk critically about Fearless Leader. This is fascism in action.

CBS News pulled a "60 Minutes" segment that focused on job losses at the Internal Revenue Service hours before it was scheduled to air, replacing it with a feature story on Cajun music. The reason was fear that Trump would be offended by the IRS firings story. www.adweek.com/tvnewser/joe...

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.
