Truth: “There are Americans—lots of them—who get off on dominating the people they hate. The Hemingway line is terrifyingly true: “There are many who do not know they are fascists but will find it out when the time comes.””

Dictators worldwide are cheering Trump and Musk’s illegal shutdown of Voice of America — a global beacon of hope and democracy. It’s their latest “America in Retreat” policy — undermining our influence and making us less secure. Patriots must stand up to these illegal actions.

It feels like a lot of centrist pundits are rallying around Schumer because they feel the lesson of 2024 was that pushing out the ineffective older guy didn't work, instead of that they probably should've pushed him out earlier to get the new crew organized sooner.

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

This cruel administration is responsible for the death and suffering of children. It is shameful and unacceptable. We can’t allow them to continue to hurt the most vulnerable with their vengeance and greed. #shutitdown

Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security. That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

Here's something important. It's just one part of the equation. But it's a key one. This debate is being carried on on the basis of the claim that a long shutdown opens up new legal authority for Musk to fire people. For a while now I've been in contact with a lawyer with deep knowledge of ...

Republicans’ partisan spending bill turns the federal government into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk. It’s unthinkable that any Senate Democrat would hand them a blank check by voting for cloture.

submitted 5 days ago • 642 comments

Just to answer some of your questions: We are asking Senate Democrats to vote NO on cloture without a path to winning a clean 30-day continuing resolution. Cloture requires 60 votes, so the Senate GOP will need Democratic support. Urge your senators to hold the line. 👇

Nothing says ushering in the Golden Age like more toxic fumes in the air, contamination in our water, and higher utility bills. Actions like this from the Trump administration benefit corporations rather than the Americans who will bear the consequences for generations.

Trump is stuck between loving tariffs and loving a rising stock market - which are basically irreconcilable - and his indecision is itself damaging the economy, with no upshot.

I think Americans have to understand things won't go back to normal and no one is coming to save us. The self destructive decision to vote for Trump is going to cause long term pain, damage and weakness. We have to survive and try to rebuild something better. Generational effort sadly.

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this. The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".
