Trump's America Is in a Free Fall—Not a Slippery Slope—to Tyranny www.theunpopulist.net/p/trumps-ame... "Fear is the common denominator in all of this—palpable, paralyzing, and quite justifiable fear. Fear now stalks the land. America has entered an existential era for the future of democracy."

Do it @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedem.bsky.social.

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/o... "Every #Republican senator who votes for #KashPatel is abdicating his constitutional responsibility. And for what? To please a lame-duck bully? To protect their right flank in a primary? [Their cowardice threatens our system of justice]." @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social

Democratic attorneys general are fighting back against Elon Musk.

Normal, right? Add chainsaw video, pleading Fifth, Cayman/China deal, enemies list, “King Donald,” grand jury secrets, close counterterror section, “deep state” fantasies — mos def the guy you want running FBI. But enough for an R to grow a spine? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/o... "It's not the time to curl up in despair. We have institutions to protect, pro-democracy organizations to support, & elections in [2026]...It is our duty to protect our democratic republic from a lawless president & the anti-American movement he leads." @kathsstewart

"How did we get here and where are we going?" says distinguished @schiff.senate.gov re nomination of @kashpateltrump.bsky.social who is unfit to be FBI director. Watch Patel testimony on CSPAN: his smirks, non answers, lies. Senator Cory Booker & @padilla.senate.gov skillfully grill/unmask him.

Four Takeaways From Hegseth’s Confirmation Hearing www.nytimes.com/2025/01/14/u... drunken, unfit, misogynistic "frat boy"Pete Hegseth wonders where it has gotten us when generals & other highly experienced people have been placed atop the Pentagon? It has made the free world safer, you idiot!

www.afr.com/world/north-... “I feel liberated,” “We can say ‘retard’ and ‘pussy’ without the fear of getting cancelled … it’s a new dawn.” Wow, now that's progress! We can all insult, discriminate, denigrate, lie, cheat, and violate the law with abandon!

Jimmy Carter Deserved Our Thanks and Respect, Not Our Sneers www.nytimes.com/2024/12/29/o... "it’s grotesque when Carter is denounced as an antisemite b/c he criticized Israel’s harsh treatment of Palestinians. He arguably did more than any other pres. in the past [50 yrs.] to secure Israel’s future

Get tough Durbin and empower @whitehouse.senate.gov

U.S. Eases Some Restrictions on Humanitarian Aid to Syria www.nytimes.com/2025/01/06/u... Lift more sanctions on #Syria please dear @janetyellenstan.bsky.social

www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... NEVER FORGET. The stain will permanently permeate #MAGA and #Trump term.

For Many of Us, Jan. 6 Never Ended www.nytimes.com/2025/01/05/o... "I resent the ongoing whitewashing of the barbarity & collective amnesia of right-wing politicians who aren’t willing to hold Mr. Trump accountable. I can’t bear to hear Republicans describe themselves as the “law and order” party."

wapo.st/40kUPjF "12 jurors unanimously found [Trump] guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records with the intent to defraud, which included an intent to commit or conceal a conspiracy to promote a presidential election by unlawful means." @jenrubin.bsky.social

Biden’s legacy: A bridge to nowhere wapo.st/424xy6P Disagree! "Like so many in his generation, Biden vowed to empower new leadership then refused to get out of the way." NOT! If #Trump was not #GOP nominee he would not have run. Biden thought only he could beat him. He may have been right.

My response to Donald Trump’s efforts to block the Special Counsel from issuing his final report:

Cooper: Do you remember what you are doing around this time four years ago? Gonell: I was fighting for my life being crushed inside a tunnel.

Trump honoring the Jan 6 attackers comes right from Hitler’s playbook. And if Nazi history is a guide, by next Jan. 6, Trump will declare a national day of remembrance to celebrate the Jan 6 attackers. My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-hono...

www.c-span.org/program/publ... NEVER FORGET this infamous, disgraceful seditious act and hold the man who incited and championed it, accountable every day henceforth. #MAGA #TRUMP

Damn right, Congressman @benniethompson.bsky.social You are a great American. That horrific day will live in infamy. Thank you and your outstanding Committee for meticulously exposing and documenting the seditious acts of the incoming president, who belongs in jail, not the Oval Office.

We will never let Trump and MAGA rewrite the truth about what happened on January 6, 2021. We've put together a mini-documentary that goes through not only what happened on the 6th, but before and in the aftermath of that infamous day. Watch and share 'A Coup In Plain Sight':

Elon Musk Is a National Security Risk www.nytimes.com/2024/12/29/o... "The fact that Mr. Musk spent a quarter of a billion dollars to help re-elect Mr. Trump does not give the incoming White House the license to look the other way at the national security risks he may pose." #MAGA
