I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

The central core of Trumpism is voter suppression and election subversion. Too many people only pay attention to this right before elections and forget it once elections are over. We must take this threat literally and seriously if we want to have free and fair elections in the future.

This is a remarkable clip. C-Span stuck with the angle facing the President. Trump glances down at his paper, JD Vance looking around trying to engage with Usha. She ignores him and watches the sermon intently. www.c-span.org/clip/white-h...

Don’t let Trump’s flurry of executive orders overshadow his effort to rewrite history by pardoning Jan 6 attackers. They were not “hostages.” They are criminals convicted of committing political violence after receiving due process in court. https://buff.ly/4hqvnPx

View on my last visit to Sherrod’s Senate office in Washington. So much change was coming for our country. But I heard our grandchildren’s laughter nearby and felt the hope in that. Life is never one thing. We are in this together, friends & kind strangers. Knowing that gives me so much strength.

Why isn’t the media harping on the fact that Trump won with the smallest margin in a quarter century and got less than half the vote? This should be a 24/7 news story. Are they afraid of Donald, or complicit?

Please remember there are billionaires spending money on outrage media to make you mad at federal civil servants instead of the Supreme Court they bought. Please save your outrage for the actual fascists.

'Death knell' Ex-prosecutor Joyce Vance highlights 'absolute disqualifier' for Pam Bondi, "a 2020 election denier with a long track record. That should be a death knell for any nomination to be attorney general" joycevance.substack.com/p/gaetz-out

Joyce Vance is right. The time to pick ourselves up and move forward again is now: "We are headed into a holiday week, and folks are still weary and demoralized from the election. But it’s time. It’s time to reengage and decide what role we’re going to play. 1/2 open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Carol Moseley Braun was the first Black woman elected to the Senate in 1993. Jesse Helms once followed her into the Senate elevator singing "Dixie." He told fellow Senator Orrin Hatch, "I'm going to sing Dixie until she cries." Thinking about that today. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Once you realize that Trump isn’t nominating cabinet members to RUN agencies but DESTROY them, it makes more sense.

You don’t bury an ethics report that would exonerate Trump’s pick. You don’t skip FBI background checks unless his nominees have something to hide. See what they’re doing? Please tell me you see what they’re doing.

Each of Trump's proposed appointments is a surprise. It is comforting to think that he is simply a vengeful old man, lashing out. This is unlikely. He and Musk and Putin have been talking for years. And the whole idea was that this time he had a plan. snyder.substack.com/p/decapitati...
