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)

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Investing in economic growth. Funding our schools. Improving the services working families and the vulnerable need. We cannot compromise on them, especially when we face the uncertainty of the federal government’s haphazard “ready, fire, aim” tactics toward everyday Americans.

President Trump calls Zelensky a “dictator,” which we know can’t be true because Trump loves all the dictators. That’s why he appeases and coddles Putin and his filthy imperialist war on the people of Ukraine. History teaches us that we bow down to dictators and tyrants at our own peril.

The Senate has confirmed Kash Patel, who has published an enemies list identical to Trump's, to serve a 10-year term as FBI Director. He will be a major cog in Trump's vengeance machine to silence and intimidate critics. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/kash-patel-in-his-own-words
