Y'all notice this hypocrisy? •Musk gets $20B+ in federal subsidies—is celebrated! •NPR gets ~$3M in federal grants—Trump wants to shut it down as "wasteful." This isn't democracy—it's autocracy & an all out war on free press. Here are two ways we can fight back: www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-war-on...

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

Every time Trump does something illegal, and shutters an agency or pulls personal data of Americans without their consent, he needs to be challenged in court. If Democrats fail to mount challenges, his efforts at authoritarianism will increase and become unstoppable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...
