This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

Exactly: “It’s all but certain that many [Sullivan & Cromwell] lawyers are unhappy with the firm’s decision to become part of the Trump regime anti-rule of law machine, and for good reason. Apart from the sheer immorality of the firm’s choice … [a] starkly pragmatic question is also presented:”

"Experts on tyranny point out that people are ill equipped to handle fascism because they make it look inevitable, & we lose our ability to envision the alternative. Trump & Musk are trying to gaslight us all into believing we live in their FANTASY WORLD in which everyone bows before their power."

Chaos is the cheapest ingredient in a revolution. It takes zero effort to destroy things. To sabatoge, throw a temper tantrum, & burn it all down. Chaos agents are weak & have too vapid of an ideology to build a functional system. Revolutionaries who come only with chaos, come with nothing.

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

Fuck him. He is selling us out and breaking America from the inside. All for the benefit of our biggest adversary Russia. I wonder how much of the data DOGE is stealing is going there.

What GOP voters have no concept of this that Trump, Musk, Fox News and others have no respect for them. They lie to them constantly. They assume they have no thinking ability. And my guess is in the backrooms they laugh at the GOP voters and how much they are able to con them.

“Every American can do something—show up, walk out, call, sign up, demonstrate engagement.” The Musk-Trump axis thrives on chaos and intimidation, but resistance is growing. Thousands protested, DOJ lawyers resigned & NYC officials walked out. Jen Rubin explains.

3)values or traditions,” Mr. Bannon told the interviewer. He appeared to be referring to news reports that Mr. Musk, who was born in South Africa and who has become an aggressive voice against undocumented immigrants, overstayed his visa as he built a company in the United States."

In 1796, President George Washington gave a farewell address warning about corruption and deception. He cautioned us to “guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.” His words still ring true today. Happy President's Day.

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

After all we've seen in the past 3.5wks, I cannot believe anyone is confused about this. Musk. Owns. Trump. Trump sold Musk the functions of the Presidency; in return, Musk spent $250M to ensure Trump won instead of dying in prison. Trump just licenses his name to the deal: POTUS in name only.

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

My bet is that the Musk Rats chewing on our Treasury files are also collecting material from Trump’s first term. This stuff can easily be massaged into a gigantic scandal, as we have seen. As long as Trump gives what he wants, Trump is safe. If not, not.
