know in advance what your gameplan is. make sure your lawyers have an idea about how to resist & defend. connect with networks of defenders if you're not already a part of them. just don't be caught unprepared.

The sense I'm getting is that Trump is completely checked out except for cheerleading tariffs. And I'll bet he doesn't know much about them.

There are people with far less privilege and power than Sen Murkowski who have stood up to Trump. If any lawmaker is too afraid to use their voice, they should step aside and give their seat to someone who isn’t.

this was a brave and good thing for Senator Van Hollen to do, the kind of principled, ethical work we should be able to expect of our leaders. Hopefully others will be inspired by him to stand up and show up for their constituents too.

While these are challenging times, there's too much fear-mongering, IMHO, and not enough courage-mongering. More @jonlovett.bsky.social and @jefftiedrich.bsky.social please, less @carolecadwalla.bsky.social and maybe even less @timothysnyder.bsky.social? open.substack.com/pub/theconne...
