Every word of this. This is one of the best exchanges with Governor Newsom.⤵️ In interview he also lays the groundwork for legal (and policy) case: That President Trump's actions “created the conditions” and put “fuel on this fire every since he announced he was taking over the National Guard.”

This is a vitally important point to remember. Big force displays often reveal deep weaknesses—and a profound self-awareness of them.

The correct response to state violence is more protest, more people. Make it clear that a free people cannot and will not be oppressed.

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

Constituent: Trump and his cabinet in addition to being totally unqualified and inept are breaking laws by ignoring federal judge's orders. When are you going to do the responsibility you are elected for by holding the executive branch accountable up to and including impeachment?

Remember when Republicans fought central planning? Now they’re applauding a president who tells Apple where to produce and Harvard who to hire. They've trading in limited government for micromanagement, freedom for fealty, and market forces for Mar-A-Lago favors.

“Gasoline prices have collapsed under President Trump.” - Scott Bessent, “Meet the Press” (05/18/25) 🤡

There’s no difference between watching CNN today and watching CNN a few years ago. Trump’s goons will be goose stepping through DC and CNN’s chyrons will still be wondering whether Biden is in the throes of cognitive decline. Good work— finger on the pulse, guys!

Outsourcer in Chief: Is Trump Trading Away America’s Tech Future? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/b...

For a half century now, Republicans a) pretend to care about deficits when Dems are in power, as a pretext to cut spending, & b) massively grow deficits when they are in power, via tax cuts for the rich. The mainstream political press has not just allowed this deception, they've actively colluded.

That's like the beginnings of a 1970s coup in a Latin American country

Weber: I'm glad you're addressing us instead of speaking to the camera. … AOC: There are 13.7 million Americans on the other side of that screen. Hello. I’m talking to you because I work for you. They deserve to see what is happening here..

Trump is checked out. Only reacting to the world through his TV. Which provides shelter from his untreated PTSD. He lets Eichmann-ish viziers run the country according to their own perverted designs. The Beltway press is on book tours dropping bombshells that Biden was slightly older than him.

If members of the WH Press Corp don’t ask this question RELENTLESSLY they should turn in their badges.

Trump doesn’t understand how trade works, now…..

Trump is sundowning, big time. He never gets out of our face so nobody's noticed the gradual slide.

This is the America that is worth saving. This is the America that is already great.
