Opinion Make No Mistake, Trump Is Turning the US Into a Police State The arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil is a blatant attack on the civil liberties without which there can be no meaningful democracy for anyone. Our dark days are getting darker by the moment.

The fact that Trump thinks boycotts are illegal is just more evidence that he is a next level idiot and is clueless when it comes to the law. Has there ever been a bigger idiot? #USDemocracy www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

The financial headlines are brutal right now. It’s almost like the experts are shocked that a six-times bankrupt reality TV show host was elected president and is running the United States economy straight into a ditch.

European allies have rallied around Ukraine and have turned away from the United States. While this certainly puts the United States in a more vulnerable situation, I realize it's how it must be while Trump is in the Oval Office. To continue supporting the U.S. would be unwise.

Trump’s superpower is the staggering vastness of his stupidity, ignorance, sociopathy, greed, and corruption. Normal human minds simply cannot compute that anyone can be so broken and irredeemable, and many discount what they see as some kind of act. It isn’t.

Here’s the secret on Trump and tariffs: he gets to look tough by threatening them but he’s scared to death to use them or honestly, to actually do anything. This is why he only picks on our friends because he looks tough but isn’t. Also:

A few years back, centrist Democrats & the Very Serious People mocked & dismissed the slogan ‘abolish ICE’. Today’s actions are a reminder of how ICE is a rogue, lawless agency that is easily weaponized by an authoritarian administration & that it very much should be abolished.

Our own @therickwilson.bsky.social hits the nail on the head: Trump is not “making deals” or “playing chess”, he’s just an idiot. Watch the LP Podcast to hear more: apple.co/3eq7OHy

Tom Friedman on point here, though he understated the case. Either Trump is the worse negotiator in all the universes of truth and fiction, or he is beginning an alliance with Russia with a joint attempt to subjugate Ukraine (and then much else). www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/o...

People are losing their jobs. Prices keep climbing. Measles continues to spread. Bird flu is raging. Veterans are getting fired. The stock market is a roller coaster. Our alliances are being shattered. Ukrainian civilians are getting bombed by Russia. Donald Trump is golfing.

Republican Rep. Richard Hudson says Elon is trying to blame the Department of Veterans Affairs for laying off 80,000 people: Musk "did say that the firings at the VA were a mistake done by that agency, by the VA. He said mistakes were made by bureaucrats.” DOGE = inept unelected bureaucrats.

Some of us have been saying this since 2020 and even before: Dems should make corruption the central issue in US politics and public life and go on the offensive against GOP/MAGA/Trump transparent and hypocritical corruption and grifting. Most voters hate corruption.

"The American antisemitism now merges with the Russian antisemitism and reinforces it. The idea that Zelens'kyi is not a real president, and that his government is therefore not a real government, has been a very specific Russian antisemitic trope from the beginning."

Donald Trump targeted AP and legacy media did nothing. Donald Trump has now targeted two large law firms and Big Law is silent. You all read Martin Niemöller's poem “First They Came.” So, I ask you -- What are you doing?

Trump says he wants peace, but his actions prove he only wants to increase the amount of carnage. His words mean nothing - watch what he does, not what he says.

A Nazi sympathizer with suspect ties to Russia bought himself a President. And for some reason, that President decided to reverse 60 years of security to capitulate to Russia. Does that describe it?
