Trump benefits from the bully pulpit of the presidency, a legislative branch that has contracted out all of its autonomy, and Elon’s unlimited funding—but if he loses popular support, none of those things will matter. And we’re already seeing the tide turn. McCormick’s district (below) is R+22.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Some Russian guy claims that the Tangerine Tyrant was recruited as a spy by the KGB in 1987. They gave him the nickname: Krasnov, meaning "the red one". Wouldn't surprise me one bit. Let's start calling him Krasnov from now on... Krasnov.

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US. It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy. The US is emerging on the side of global oligarchy.

In the Senate, I proposed blocking tax breaks for people who make over $10 million a year. Every Republican voted no. Republicans then refused to rule out tax breaks for people who make over $100 million. And $500 million. Is ANYONE too rich to get a giveaway from the GOP?

Something to note. The Proud Boys are at the Capitol today and Trump wore a yellow tie. Black and yellow are proud boy colors. It's very clear that he views them as his personal militia that will mete out political violence. "stand back and stand by."
