Observing, responding and (hopefully) amplifying smart and insightful voices - especially ones that expose malign and anti-democratic forces in our midst. But I'd rather be at the End of the Road.

Be clear about what you are seeing. The firing of these senior officers has nothing to do with competence. This is creating an oath of loyal by the Armed Forces to the Leader. We face an uncertain future.

Meanwhile MAGA influencers & pols do a consistently good job reading the online crowd, pulling interesting things up, and making them the issue or Main Character of at least the day… connecting whatever’s happening to some base-winning theme that they return to. Familiarity, novelty, repetition.

I’m sure it’s just my TDS, but I think Trump is proving to be exactly as bad as we said he was going to be and people who acted like we were hysterical should be embarrassed they didn’t do more to try and stop it.

NEWS Before she resigned, the Acting US Attorney for SDNY wrote an eight page letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi about the Eric Adams case. In that letter, she said that Eric Adams’ attorneys said the Mayor would help the DOJ with enforcement if his case was dismissed. Must Read Letter!

Chairman Jim Jordan says the press—not Congress—is the "guardrail" on Elon Musk’s government takeover. Nobody, including Trump, has any idea what Musk is doing. Yet the GOP majority is happy to take Musk’s word for it….even though Musk doesn’t even take his own word for it.

They left the dog. This civil servant, who deployed with wife & 3 kids to frigging KINSHASA (to support development of Congolese capacity to sell cobalt to not-China, which is a policy goal that sells itself) was told by US Marines to load into a raft with 1 backpack per person. They left their dog.

To all the people who questioned four days ago whether Musk et al. were actually, literally seizing federal resources "at gunpoint" by using the Federal Marshalls service to coerce elected officials: are you happy now? Or is it not real for you until shots are fired?

We just got to make sure every voter in Maine knows next year that her act of pretending to be a “moderate” independent of Trump and MAGA is a fraud. I intend to do everything in my power to facilitate that, and these kind of posts are extremely helpful.

Musk is attempting to destroy the federal government from the inside while admitting that he is doing so. Typically excellent summary from Heather Cox Richardson. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/february-3...

“Based on the past two weeks, the Delaware Chancery Court may be the only real thing in the entire American government.” That was always the smart money for last institution standing when the US government collapsed.
