Trump's conduct is far more overtly fascist that either Erdogan or Orbán, the two anticipated strongman models. If anything he's cruising much closer to his friend and role model Vladimir Putin, who specializes in murdering his opponents. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/w...

In recent years, Judge Boasberg has: - ordered the release of Hillary’s emails - ensured Trump’s tax returns never became public - restricted disclosure from the Mueller investigation - limited disclosure of grand jury material in the Trump classified docs case. The resistance, he ain’t.

D.C.'s Interim U.S. Attorney is dropping an assault case against a convicted seditionist and violent criminal ... while he continues to bully Georgetown Law for allegedly teaching DEI and threaten to prosecute journalists who report on DOGE. A deranged set of priorities that makes us all less safe.

As Trump attempts to re-segregate America, never lose sight of the fact that Elon Musk stands to financially benefit from the federal government no longer enforcing anti-segregation laws. My latest in @thenation.com

Sanders: I’m going to be going with my good friend Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who, as everybody knows, has been an inspiration to young people all over this country. She’s a real fighter, she’s doing a great job in the House, and it’s an honor to be hitting the road with her.

The President is driving our economy into the ground, damaging our international relationships, breaking the government, and exposing Americans to danger. He owns that. Allowing this CR to proceed puts a Democratic party stamp on it. It demonstrates weakness when the American people need strength.

Like the Epstein files, Trump releases the exact same JFK files Biden released in 2023. The fucking grift and con against the American people never ends. This was all just a diversion from the insidious shit the serial lying psychopath is actually doing, which is the ongoing Nazification of America.
