I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

During the campaign, Trump said he wouldn't restrict abortion, but pro-lifers figured he was just saying that, while he was really on their side. Soon, one of those two groups will figure out that Trump conned them. This process will play out over issue after issue.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

When you see a piece of steel cling to a magnet you don't need to understand the science. The force is there. You can see it. It's the same with President Trump and Vladimir Putin.

Contrary to some legacy media frameworks, a lot of people do not like what Trump is doing. His net approval rating, per 538, has dropped 5 points in 3 weeks, sinking at a rate resembling the Titanic's.

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.

A huge decision from Judge Amir Ali, meticulously reasoned and utterly scathing, finding that Trump’s foreign aid freeze is almost certainly an illegal and arbitrary abuse of power. He orders the immediate restoration of all international assistance. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

So, they are - illegally dismantling US govt itself, disabling Congress - burning our alliances, turning US into a global pariah - putting backdoors into the Treasury - reigniting inflation, exploding the deficit - setting up camps If Russia were "attacking the US" how would it look any different?

Immigration didn't become a big issue because a lot of people have personal experience with it. It became a big issue because Republicans & Fox kept screaming about it, so other media covered it intensely. We have to get to the point where we liberals can do the equivalent for our issues.
