Abolish bank regulators. “Delete” the CFPB & IRS. Gut Social Security and Medicare. The Trump administration’s plots all boil down to the same thing: swindle working people, funnel money to the ultra-rich.

“No American can be proud of a govt that carries out change in this way. Neither can these actions be rationalized by discussion of past grievances or appeals to efficiency. Everything can be more efficient, but adherence to the rule of law is paramount” www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

In Jan 2022 I wrote for MSNBC that if Merrick Garland did not swiftly prosecute Trump for his Jan 6 crimes: "I believe historians will count it among the key mistakes that ultimately led to the end of the United States as a democratic republic." This is where we are www.msnbc.com/opinion/garl...

Mr. Bove explicitly said that the Justice Department had made its decision without assessing the strength of the evidence against Mr. Adams or the legal theories undergirding the case. Say what??? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/n...

The only way to fight what is coming on Monday is to understand the full context of what is about to take over our government. You must understand what their end game is, and how they have successfully manipulated large segments of our society to tear down our democracy. youtu.be/jtYIXPeOim0?...

Stephen Miller’s call to cut funding for sanctuary cities like NYC ignores the real costs of immigration. NYC spent $3.75B on migrant services in 2024 but got only $237M from the feds. Punitive measures won’t fix a broken system—comprehensive reform will.

Oh, so wildfire aid now comes with ‘conditions’? While Californians lose homes and lives, GOP leaders like Mike Johnson and Trump suggest holding aid hostage to push their agenda. Maybe focus on helping people first instead of playing politics with disaster relief.

So Trump’s Deportation Czar Tom Homan says it’s impossible to dramatically increase deportations with the current funding levels for DHS, so he needs a lot more money from Congress before he can do it. Which is exactly what the bipartisan border bill Trump killed was all about.

DARCY: “Zuckerberg also spent a healthy amount of time characterizing Joe Biden as some sort of tyrant, while he conveniently ignored the fact that the guy he is sucking up to literally threatened to jail him.” @oliverdarcy.bsky.social $META www.status.news

When a hurricane struck North Carolina, Republicans lied about FEMA. When a terrorist attacked New Orleans, Republicans lied about immigration. When wildfires hit Los Angeles, Republicans lied about fire dept. funding and DEI. Exploiting tragedy is part of the GOP playbook. Helping victims is not.

Musk is Trump's Rasputin. As with real Rasputin, the people who had long surrounded the Czar became envious of Rasputin's quick rise to power. We are seeing same now with people like Steve Bannon brutally attacking Musk. Lets see a vicious war! My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/steve-bann...

What's happening today isn't a philosophical debate over whether democracy or autocracy is preferable. It's a smash-and-grab by the super-rich, who are bankrolling a torrent of lies to pave the way for widespread financial exploitation. It's organized crime, not politics.

As usual, @hcrichardson.bsky.social put the power grab by Republicans in N.C. in historical perspective. Right now, it’s about Republicans trying to nullify the votes of 60,000 people.

Trump’s return to power is a green light for corruption. Dropping restrictions on foreign deals signals one thing: the presidency is for sale. From Vietnam to D.C., Trump’s empire thrives while ethics crumble. This isn’t business as usual—it’s democracy on the auction block.
