Every time a fascist threat appears, the appeasers rush to comply in advance. You just don't expect the national broadcaster to be among them "Dear Americans, how do you feel about violently annexing your long-standing friend and ally?" is not the type of conversation I want my tax dollars going to.

Thank you, Janet Mills. This is how all our elected officials everywhere should be confronting Trump's authoritarian "we are the law" sentiment. Head on.

Just got out of jail. Only forty four left to go to catch John Lewis’s record. Remember - peaceful civil disobedience. Don’t comply in advance.

This is incredibly smart by @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social, a lesson Democrats have to learn fast. There will be no a-ha moment for the electorate. You can't wait around for people to realize how bad it is if they'll invariably wind up blaming the Reverse Vampires. You just have to fight, right now.

Canada has the 9th largest economy in the world, a highly educated population, and one of the highest standards of living of any country that has ever existed. We have plenty of problems, but if Canada isn't a serious country I'm not sure any country is.

I heard Gov. Abbott asked them to steer clear of the state until he gets to watch some kids die. Man, there's nothing he loves more than watching kids die. School shootings, barbed-wire migrant crossings, power outages, measles, whatever. It doesn't matter how, as long as some kids die.

Yep, DOGE is as incompetent as everyone thought. An $8 million "saving" has been listed as an $8 BILLION saving. That is 14.5% of their total claimed $55 billion in "savings" having been completely made up.

Imagine having all of Vlad and Bo’s arb years, winning zero playoff games through all of that, having a depleted farm system despite the lack of success, and keeping your job.

I’ve been screaming this since 2016. Trump will back down in the face of resistance. He has every time. And Musk - who is going to fall out with Trump sooner rather than later - is going to have to get back to Tesla soon or face a shareholder revolt. We can win if we fight back. And we will win.

Judges can either order Federal Marshalls to arrest those responsible for contempt, or accept America is a dictatorship. I’ll keep saying this. If governments don’t respect court orders then there is no law other than raw power.

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.

Am I the only one noting that after demonizing China for years, Trump seems to be letting them off lightly, while going full tilt against Canada? Is it Musk's business interests? Have Chinese players been buying Trumpcoin?

Serious question: can the president just spend all his time in office suing people and then use the litigation as a "legal" way of accepting bribes via "settlements"?
