Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have no excuse. Mitch McConnell, when he was out of power, successfully obstructed Obama. Elie Mystal explains how they can use McConnell’s playbook:https://gaslitnation.libsyn.com/the-world-must-stand-up-to-trumps-america #oligarchy #dictatorship #dictatortrump

Impeached him on Jan 7, convicted him in an immediate Senate trial, started criminal proceedings immediately and simultaneously, messaged the importance of enforcing the 14th Amendment to keep him off the ballot, done so.

And while you're doing that thing, INVITE OTHER PEOPLE. Because a lot of us wait to be invited. My whole life exists—my job, my kids, my whole life—because a guy I knew slightly invited me to be like the fifteenth name on a slate of candidates for student government in the fall of 1988.

We have 100+ letters to @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social asking him to present a credible plan for leading the Democratic opposition through the Republican-caused crisis facing our country. …but his staff refused to come down to get them 😡 We need SO much more from Dem leadership. @indivisible.org

Major media use phrases like "boundary-testing agenda” and “defying the norms” to avoid calling Trump "fascist" or "authoritarian," which he is. It’s as if the media refused to call a hurricane a “hurricane” and instead called it a weather event with excessive moisture. My latest newsletter.

Blaming NATO for Russia's invasion of Ukraine is Kremlin disinformation. Russia was offered strategic partnerships with NATO, and the idea of NATO membership for Russia was even discussed. NATO is not the problem. Russian genocidal imperialism is the problem. Don’t fall for Russia's gaslighting

In this week’s Gaslit Nation, I talk to investigative journalist Greg Palast, whose documentary Vigilantes, Inc, warned the GOP were trying to steal the 2024 election, on whether we'll have free and fair elections again gaslitnation.libsyn.com/will-we-have...

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

My last post gave me this idea to create a new thread of organizations. Please post websites and or organization (pro democracy) that we can support/follow/donate to. (Don't spam this post, they will be deleted.) I'll start with my own PAC (shameless plug lol) democracydefenderspac.com

I hope Marco understands how dangerous, dishonest and amoral Lavrov is. This is looking more and more like Trump/Russia payday for Russia.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

A good moment to remember the Russia thing was always real. Trump's goal is to help Russia and Putin, always has been. He's trying to throw our democratic allies under the bus and America as well. Again, the Russia thing was always real.

There's no line the administration can cross that will flip the polarity of pundits and political "reporters" from benefit-of-the-doubt to "wait a minute, everything you do is corrupt and stupid, so maybe we need to assume corruption and stupidity in future instead of good-faith competence..."

One particularly sadistic aspect of Elon Musk’s and Donald Trump’s rampage through our government is that they’re cutting programs that are popular. This is not a misstep, rather it's exactly the point. newrepublic.com/article/1915...

NEW: As legal challenges to DOGE mount, the White House claims Elon Musk is not technically in charge of the effort and has no decision-making power. That contradicts Trump/Musk's own public portrayal. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Massive, meaningful changes in governance done as a result of a ctrl-f for the word "transition." No one will ever believe how stupid this shit was.
