All this bullshit immediately crumbles when it's presented to anyone who's not a sympathetic cohost on your podcast

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

There are but two ways to keep a compromised country from falling into an authoritarian abyss: 1. Courts 2. Crowds In this week's Next Comes What, Andrea answers the question she keeps getting about how what she's learned from studying concentration camps around the globe can help America now.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

There are two people in Congress-the chairs of the Senate & House Appropriations Committees-who have enormous power over the illegal impoundment of funds appropriated by Congress, which is sowing chaos across the US. They need to be relentlessly contacted at their offices, in person and by phone. 1/

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

This was just 233 days ago:

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."

Huh, I guess 23-year-old tech bro incels don’t actually know how to appropriately staff the entire United States government after all.

Trump official announces that Trump has signed an executive order claiming that only the president can speak for “what the law is” (This is not how the Constitution works)

In the 1840s a white mob turned almost 400 Black settlers away from Mercer County land purchased on their behalf. Now a geography class at Miami University has created a comprehensive map of the land purchased for the Randolph Freedpeople.

Fascism is not on its way. It has arrived.

White supremacy is always self destructive. This country, well a plurality of voters, chose to kill itself. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

I'm old enough to remember when Google's motto was "Don't be Evil". How times have changed.

Sec 4 of the 14th Amendment, requiring the US to pay ALL the debts incurred by Congress, both renders the so-called “debt ceiling” unconstitutional and reinforces the ban on Executive Branch usurpation of Congress’s power of the purse — which is now underway as the White House defies a court’s TRO.

Every day is Christmas for Putin now.

Al Gore pitched a sovereign wealth fund once, but he called it a “lockbox.” And it existed bc they’d taxed the wealthy a tiny bit, balanced the budget and had a surplus. And he only wanted the fund to protect Social Security for Americans who weren’t millionaires. So the GOP mocked it.

Let’s go FBI agents. You know what to do. They can’t fire all of you!

“Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the F.B.I. and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and F.B.I. policy.” -- James E. Dennehy, NYC’s top FBI agent. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...

Unfortunately the Constitution did not foresee a situation where the president does whatever he wants and says "What are you gonna do about it dork"

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

cannot be said enough that for a decade a critical number of americans have simply refused to accept that he means what he says

"You get more conservative when you get older" only really worked for the generations that got RICHER as they got older. The real truth was always just "You get more selfish the more money you have." @nataliereed84.bsky.social

Basically, the country’s been taken over by a bunch of internet trolls and podcasters who thought running the government would be as easy as complaining about it.

America is under attack by the President of the United States

4 days in and he’s already stunk up the whole place

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is. Know your rights. Pass these around…

Project 2025 is all about dismantling the federal government, just like this ….

Even the claim that they were political prisoners only really works if you admit they were engaged in the political project of overthrowing the Constitution.
