The border czar wants the FBI to arrest AOC. A Fox News contributor is calling journalist Mehdi Hasan a terrorist. Elon Musk said everyone at 60 Minutes should go to prison. You all see how quickly we’re descending into madness, right? It’s not subtle, slow, or anything but a premeditated scheme.

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.

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governm...

"This is a 50-60 year project the Republicans have been on. They wanted abortion gone. So what did they do? They stacked the courts - right. They have a goal, and they worked for decades to achieve that goal.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Following reports that the State Department would spend $400 million on “armored Teslas,” the Trump admin revised its forecast to remove the word “Tesla.” Now, it will spend $400M on “Armored Electric Vehicles.”

Trump makes nice to Putin and seems to cut out Zelensky. Hegseth rules out Ukraine in NATO and says support for Ukraine is up to Europe. The slightly pro-Ukraine Gen. Kellogg is not on the negotiating team. Very, very alarming. @samstein and I discuss. youtu.be/w0sf_U8SCX0?...
