Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

This is not about one man. MOST of the people Trump disappeared have NO criminal record. Yet they had no due process, and have no outside contact. Merwil—reportedly grabbed by mistake. Arturo—a musician. Andry—a makeup artist. No record, no explanation.

Goldman: "Think about whether any of us want to vote a certain way but bc we fear for our personal safety, we decide to vote differently. We are no longer representing our constituents.

My Republican colleagues have shown zero resistance to Trump and Musk's disastrous agenda that has hiked everyday costs, fired thousands of Veterans and threatens to gut Medicaid and Social Security. If they actually cared about the American people, they'd show some backbone.

I gift this NYT piece by David French, so that all can read. “Millions of Americans are desperate for a quick and effective response to Trump’s attacks on the Constitution. But the election foreclosed that possibility. The courts — even if they have the courage — lack the power to save America.

“I can…assure you that were this a Republican president…targeting Democrats, I at least would speak out just as vigorously against it because if we are going to respect rule of law, the apparatus of the federal government cannot and should not be used as a partisan tool to bludgeon your enemies."

Every tyrant in history has sought to stifle criticism of himself and his regime. But America was founded on criticism. American democracy was built on dissent. Every institution, group, firm, or individual that surrenders to Trump’s wanton tyranny invites more of it.

You’d think that a president who claims to be revoking visas to stop political violence and stand up against antisemitism would have something to say when one of the most high profile Jewish elected officials in America is the target of an arson attack in his home on the first night of Passover.
