Trump and Musk are a living monument to the worst excesses of human nature—an exhausting blend of arrogance, ignorance, greed, selfishness, narcissism, and the kind of misplaced confidence that has already fueled a thousand horrible decisions that will ultimately hurt millions of everyday Americans.

Absolutely shameful, @nytimes.com. Here, I corrected it for you: "The decision to fire General Brown, which Mr. Trump announced in a message on Truth Social, reflects the president's racism."

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

“Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Dept, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government ... It is praetorianism, plain and simple.” gift link 🎁: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico. Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

Folks are asking, “what should I do in this moment?” One of the most passionate, progressive voices in Congress for 30 years, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden answers that question. Here’s our conversation, inside a replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute: youtu.be/n_nQ-Moa9fI?...

Whether or not the J6 choir ends performing there or not, it is time to boycott the Kennedy Center. It is now a purely political enterprise having been hijacked to support an anti-democracy, white supremacist, anti-American agenda. Attending and supporting the institution is aiding that agenda.

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Regardless of how much coverage it gets, Trump aiming to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution needs to be a much bigger story.
