63 years old, Canada. I can proudly say I have NEVER missed a vote.....municipal, provincial or federal since I turned 18. Been voting for 45 years. I would drag myself over broken glass to vote. What we saw in the US with tens of millions abdicating their vote...horseshit. #DoBetter. #CanadaVotes

"Krebs said he understood why some have kept a low profile and tried not to further anger the president. But he said he disagreed with that approach. 'I don’t think this lay-low-and-hope-this-blows-over approach is the right one for the moment we’re in,' he said..." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Krebs, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Cassidy Hutchinson Miles Taylor are all are national treasures who will be remembered as people of integrity along with Nathan Hale IF America can expel the MAGA movement. Otherwise only foreign history books will write about it.

These stories landed today, within 11 hours of each other. This presidential administration is a clear and present danger to the American people.

What could go wrong with having a State whose local jobs and business base is dependent on a food producer or packing factory being responsible for inspections of same?

So he has cleaned up all the illegals from the Biden Administration already? Didn't MAGA tell us that there were 10 million crossovers during the last Administration? Either the Administration is VERY efficient or SOMEONE is lying.. take bets on who?

A country is judged by those who it associates with. Like your fellow travelers America?

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books

Good article. "In each of the past three presidential elections with Trump as the Republican nominee, according to FEC data, the Democratic candidate has received far more money from contributions $200 or less than Trump: 2.5 times more in 2016, 1.4 times more in 2020, and 3.3 times more in 2024."

Sounds like a scene from The Minority Report.

Rubio and Hegseth are hypocrites who are disassembling the cyber protections of the United States which were used to find and track foreign aggressors, particularly, but not exclusively, Russian. This disarming includes eliminating Voice of America. Putin's sleepers now have free, unfettered reign.

The issue is not that there are not like-minded Republicans, the issue is that THEY are too scared to buck the Party leader. The fact that she is not is to her credit!

SCOTUS is single handedly abetting the erosion of the protections guaranteed in the Constitution and eliminating the Separate but Equal checks and balances that it purports to hold dear!

American Brown Shirts.

More importantly we have an Administration and an elected leader who lies DAILY and is not held to account, fact checked or asked for proof of his allegations. At minimum he is liable for defamation or libel and at maximum violation of his oath of office!

When the regime talks about kidnapping people because they might be violent someday, I wish the press would always note they also released without hesitation people with a history of legal run ins who were violent on January 6th and unrepentant about it.

THREE EQUAL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT. It’s in our Constitution and at the very heart of our democracy. Article 3 establishes the judicial branch. It’s the job of judges to determine if the actions of the Administration violate our laws. Full. Stop. That’s how our democracy works.

Proof should not be insinuated it should be SHOWN!

The PROCESS has begun and the "test balloons" have been released. The next step will a relentless right wing media blitz to "normalize it" & get people to believe it is necessary & good! Then we ALL become potential targets!

When will all these corporate "giants" start standing up and making MAGA prove their charges (if they have any) in a Court of law. We have allowed Trump & his echo chamber to get away with defamatory & libelous claims for too long. Like Dominion v Fox News they should be challenged in Court!

The MAGA net of "criminalization" is expanding as many of us have predicted. "Opposition" is now being touted as criminal by people who believe that the attempted overthrow of a LEGITIMATE election through an assault on the Capitol was "free speech expression".

Thank you Mr. Kerr!

And yet people are getting fired because they are leaking the fact that our Administration is quietly disarming us from the inside out. No Russian collusion... Think again America!

What they are REALLY saying is "They know what's best for Americans so suck it up". If THIS the "FREEDOM" that MAGA has been "wrapping themselves in" for the past 10 years I want NONE OF IT. I CHOSE! THAT is what makes me an American!

Boasberg has game: "To permit officials to freely annul the judgments of the courts of the United States wd not just “destroy the rights acquired under those judgments”; it would make “a solemn mockery” of “the constitution itself.” (Marshall, C.J.). “So fatal a result must be deprecated by all.”

There should be a concerted effort to make this Administration prove EVERY SINGLE assertion by the DOJ in court because most of the EOs a slanderous and without merit. It's time to put your money where your mouth is an PROVE your claims.

100% Make it dysfunctional and they that it is broken and the fix is to break it up and privatize it. The entire DOGE effort has come up with POSSIBLY (a big if) $160B in "savings" from fraud waste &.abuse(3% of the annual budget) while dismembering our cyber protection, FAA, FCC,USDA et. al.

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

The Epstein list continues to sit on bribe for hire Pam Bondi’s desk because it was never her intention to release it to the public as she was always going to bury it since she too is a criminal.

He’s threatening the free press. He wants to ship Americans to foreign prisons. He’s using executive orders to go after ex-staff who dare to speak out. He’s ignoring the Supreme Court. This isn’t politics. This is authoritarianism in real time. Wake up.

📌"He's betrayed our national security. He will do so again. He's compromised our elections. He will do so again. You will not change him. You can't constrain him. He is who he is. Truth matters little to him. What's right matters even less. Decency matters not at all." -Adam Schiff to GOP in 2020

As with Trump, Gaetz, Epstein, Hegseth and others, money, connections and intimidation buys silence and compliance. This approach has been implemented into our National Government.

Weaponization of Government against "We the People! The MAGAs are coming! The MAGAs are coming!

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Given the Federal MAGA Administration we are going to need "papers" to not only travel in/out of the country but between States.

It is a continual daily erosion of the rights of American citizens and they don't even realize it or they just don't care. The issue is that when people realize that the authoritarianism of the administration has gone to far it will be too late to turn it back.

It’s the evil laugh at the end for us 😕
