Thank you, NY AG Letitia James, and 18 others including our own California AG Rob Bonta, for the suits to block the Musk team's (call them Muskrats - thank you Robert Reich) access to the Treasury data. Write your AG's and thank them! robbonta.com?refcode=em20...

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

These cartoons are great! Thank you Ann, and the colleagues whose cartoons are shown here. They perfectly capture the outrage and disgust at insecure rich men bowing to Trump. They show no mercy to these "impoverished" individuals. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/with-grati...

These are classic signs of authoritarian transitions. Trump is not new. Look at the parallels with Mussolini 100 years ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KluZ...

I feel profoundly unsafe. After one week of Trump II, we are in an authoritarian transition. -the confirmation of a disturbed, incompetent news commentator as Secretary of Defense (Hegseth) -removal of government protection for certain people ( Fauci and Trump's old Secretary of State Mike Pompeo)

I took a moment to pause tonight. Seeking some peace before the storm ahead. Remember, self-care as we go forward. Even in war zones, there is R&R. Fall back and take care of yourself when you need it. The rest of us can fill your spot in the line until you're ready to come back.

Lovely sunset today, with the deep golden light creating a stark silhouette of an oak in winter. And it seemed weighted with meaning: the sunset of a period of relatively good government, which our country threw away. And the next presidency is frighteningly uncertain.

How do we respond to the shameful Hegseth hearings? Argument does no good. I guess just strongly object. Keep saying this is not OK, not normal, in fact it is awful. What other ideas?
