If you think fascism is only going to go after the Important People Speaking Out, you're wrong. That doesn't happen until full power is secured. That's why it's EXTREMELY important for Democrats and any opposition to Trump to be as publicly vocal and loud as possible.

I’m seeing a lot of posts about how certain immigrants sent to El Salvador are not actually criminals and this is true but I would also like to remind you that people with criminal records shouldn’t be subjected to this, either.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

anyway just to summarize our story so far, a guy who thinks the word "groceries" is an archaic term no one uses any more has just announced his intention to tank the economy with bafflingly stupid tariffs and the only people who could turn this around are the dipshit republicans in congress.

Quasi-final margin in the two Florida specials: —GOP wins #FL01 by 15%. (Trump won here by 37% in November.) —GOP wins #FL06 by 14%. (Trump won here by 30% in November.) The swings are in line with what we saw in the IA & PA upsets earlier this year.

Elon's involvement in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race cost his candidate around 5% of the vote--even though he spent $25 million dollars on his behalf. Elon's endorsee ran 5 points behind the other statewide Republican candidate. That's an unbelievably negative return on investment.

Senator Cory Booker has started his 19th hour on the Senate floor during his filibuster. "I don't understand how we can be a nation with so much wealth and abundance and we haven't figured out a way to design a system where, when you invest in the wellbeing of people, people thrive." Bravo, Cory!

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.
