Murphy: "The destruction of our democracy is part of this story ... this is super unpopular, what they are doing. Nobody wants their healthcare to disappear ... so how do you get away with it?

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I am the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

People who are scholars of European history, as I am not, point out parallels to 1930s rise of fascism there. I have spent more time learning about China. Which is why I keep thinking about parallels to Cultural Revolution nihilism. (Article Jeremy Mayer) thehill.com/opinion/tech...

📌I've been doing my best to check the veracity of this info, and nobody in a position to know disputes that at the bare minimum, there's a very real possibility that all of us have been compromised. 📌This is would be the worst internal attack on the American public in history. Second isn't close.

MAGA: No, Biden can't wipe away student loans. That's hella illegal unless Congress acts. Also MAGA: If Trump declares an entire federal agency "lunatics" he can do away with it and all the funding it distributes without bothering to inform Congress, let alone requiring any action.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"
