Every dictator in history has claimed that they’ll only use their powers to go after the worst of the worst. Every dictator in history has lied. Donald Trump is no different.

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

A month later, this report still hasn’t been contradicted. No one—not even avid Musk fans—has been able to identify even a single _personal_ achievement of his of an _intellectual_ character (i.e., _not_ paying for someone else to hire experts or paying those experts). Musk is a non-genius fraud.

1/ I think it's good that Murkowski is speaking out about the fear of retaliation that she and other MOC fear. Like everything else, the more people who do that, the harder it becomes to intimidate people and pick them off one-by-one.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari: "What else did Trump say during that press conference? He was heard saying 'next we want to take on the home-growns.' He's talking about US citizens. So he has no regard for the rule of law & if we don't stand up to this administration now, they will only be emboldened"

The most relevant piece of information here is the R which Senator Murkowski keeps next to her name. She and three other Senators could take full control of the government out of the hands of the organization she herself describes as using terror tactics.

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

FRIENDLY REMINDER...... US servicemembers should keep in mind that after WW 2 we tried and imprisoned and even executed Japanese soldiers and Nazis down to the rank of corporal for violating people's rights. Even though their defense was that they were just following orders. Just saying...

This is what I’ve been talking about - a lot of the GOP disagrees vehemently with what Trump is doing. They’re just too scared to do anything about it. Bunch of damn cowards.

If the US Democracy survives this debacle, one thing is clear, they need to sever the DOJ from the Executive branch—don’t make the AG a political appointment, maybe the AG needs to be elected for a set term? I don’t have the answers, but I know the status quo won’t work any longer.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

Using the IRS for political retribution is against the law. Congress, post Nixon, made it clear you can’t use the IRS this way. The Trump Administration, led by a felon, is lawless. And we need to keep saying it.

President Trump has no authority to unilaterally impose his disastrous tariff agenda. These reckless tariffs have created economic chaos, skyrocketing everyday costs and inflicting billions in damages on the state, families, and businesses. We will be taking this to court.
