This king shit is the easiest thing in the world to message against and I can feel the consultants urging against it and I need the few elected dems with brains and national platforms to just go hard. If Hochul can do it, you can do it.

Last night, Trump signed a new EO basically declaring himself king, using the Unitary Executive Theory—aka “POTUS can do whatever the fuck POTUS wants” doctrine. I didn't know much about it, but here's what I've learned so far. It’s the legal theory behind every wannabe dictator’s wet dream. 🧵

Democrats need to be in front of every microphone and video camera possible. It would behoove us to set up an FDR style fireside chats on the daily. They could be a layman's term's rundown on the daily changes. I'd love to get this rolling and help if anyone has interest.

Recrudescence is the vibe.

The end of an era boys, walked the stage today. Onward and upward to PhD.

This is such a vibe.

I love this whole shadow president vibe we have going on.

Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter ‘the fall of the Broman Empire’ and I died laughing. 💀

Marsha Blackburn has soured me to this.

"they aren't sending their best people"

Someone wrote a Module about what serving in the Whitehouse in the incoming administration...

This is what I hear from Nancy Mace’s mouth now whenever she talks.

Just like all gaetz's other problems, this ag scandal will be minor.

Period

As a nuero divergent person in the workplace I feel this.

Color me surprised..... again.

Trump’s pick for NATO Ambassador previously sold toilets for well-endowed men. No word if Arnold Palmer was client: www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/11...

Nothing to see here It’s totes normal that a potential Secretary of Defense Would talk about creating an “underground army” As part of an “insurgency” To undermine the very Constitution that-if confirmed He would pledge to serve It’s fascism Just like Trump promised Right out in the open

Color me surprised.

So Nancy mace picked a odd hill to die on and I hope she realizes what a rancid person she is.

One of the biggest memory holes in the US electoral cycle was that millions of people died because DJT didn’t believe in COVID, then used racist tropes to try and explain it away, and then withheld medicines from much of the world. (Biden was no saint in this last act either).

YES. We DO. The question is “how?” Repost this. Everyone repost this. THE MEDIA NEEDS TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND ASK THIS QUESTION IN MORE THAN AN OPINION PIECE. @washingtonpost.com @nytimes.com @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @nbcnews.com.web.brid.gy @abcnews.go.com.web.brid.gy @usatoday.com @cnn.com

Man the buyers remorse is real if you believe Google analytics.

Best quote of the day so far: When your opinion threatens the security, movement, opportunity or well-being of another, it becomes a threat.

Color me surprised.

I said it before and I'll say it again.....

Kids, don't make fun of people in college. They may become a deputy chief of staff in the White House one day and exact their revenge.

Entering my fuck it we ball era.

This place makes dealing with the dystopian hellscape our country is slightly better.

It seems to be we have entered the phase of star wars where the death star plans are about to be transmitted and everyone is going bonkers. It's time to buckle down, strap in, and get to work.

US-based academics will be increasingly asked to participate in activities that normalize the far right. The normalization will be enforced by university administrators, who themselves will be surveilled and intimidated by the far right. 🧵

"The Peterson Institute for International Economics said Trump’s tariffs would cost the typical household $2,600 per year; the Yale Budget Lab said in an estimate released Wednesday that the annual cost could be as high as $7,600 for a typical household" Let's do some simple math, shall we?

Anyone got good recommendations on go bag loadouts? Wanna make sure I'm not missing anything.
