The same fascist republicans who called for Jan 6 terrorists to be fully pardoned after storming the US Capitol and assaulting/killing cops are now calling for the death penalty against those who are vandalizing Teslas. Make it make sense.

The cover-up… USAID officials were ordered to destroy classified documents, raising concerns about compliance with federal law. An internal email sent to remaining bureau leaders at the agency’s Washington headquarters provided guidance on “clearing our classified safes and personnel documents.”

Ruth was my editor when I contributed to the Post. She’s the best, as a human being and a journalist. I can’t imagine how painful to her the destruction of the institution to which she devoted her amazing career as a reporter, editorial writer, and editor must be. It’s heartbreaking.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

The Trump-Musk Regime is reportedly planning to cut as much as 50% of the IRS workforce. Make no mistake: this will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163 billion a year. Hello?

Fascism is here. The list of words Trump is banning from government is the most stunning document of our time. Click the image below to see how many words Trump and Musk have canceled as part of their new Reich. 🔗: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I founded and chair an "elite law firm" and we are not in retreat. I have spoken with many other "elite" firm leaders that are staffing up. What the WSJ means is large corporate law firms. Please do not confuse quality with cowardice.

JD Vance claimed on X that “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed him & shouted at his daughter. Guess he didn’t realize it was caught on camera. No one yelled at his kid, and they didn’t follow them. Vance & Musk need to quit using children as shields. The public isn’t backing down—we want answers.

If you haven't read Sinclair Lewis' IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE, that's okay. It's good and short and makes a lot of excellent points about the creeping spread of fascism, but you've seen these same points retread over and over again since he wrote it... ...in 1935.
