If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

It is time to systematically boycott the businesses of Musk, Trump and the other billionaires behind their assault on our democracy, America's security and the well-being of the most vulnerable in our society and around the world. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

open.substack.com/pub/simonwdc... Yes, little cracks can become big cracks, and distasteful though it may be, politics makes for strange bedfellows. Thanks to Wicker and Tillis for speaking out now.

While the GOP is worthy of contempt for creating Trump, let’s encourage more defections.

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

3 big polls released yesterday: Gallup, Reuters and Qunnipiac. You won't hear corporate media discuss them bc they were all BAD for Trump. His approval rating in all 3 was mid-40's with disapproval over 50. Look at how Trump's #s have slid in one month. People are paying attention. Keep fighting!

You never imagine the descent into despotism being quite this embarrassing, you know? You expect liberal democracy to fall to a Palpatine, not Biff Tannen.

A lot of folks don't fully comprehend the difference between a million and a billion, so here's an example: A million seconds = 11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds. A billion seconds = 31 years, 259 days, 1 hour, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds. The difference is pretty huge.

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

Neville Chamberlain returned from Munich and declared “peace for our time.” His name has been permanently stained for getting it so wrong. Now imagine Chamberlain had come back and declared: “we get half of Czech minerals!” That’s what Trump’s trying to do. Truly shameful.

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.
