"As an American, I condemn a Republican "Fascist" just as much I condemn a Democratic "Communist" ... They are equally dangerous to you and me and to our country." Sen. Margaret Chase Smith (R-ME) www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mar...

I have this sinking feeling that Americans have little understanding about why Due Process and Rule of Law are foundational to our democracy and freedom.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

Textbook fascism. If you didn’t see this coming, I have a bridge to sell you. Of course, the joke will be on Trump when he is finally out of office & he & his Cabinet face trial and conviction. sherrilyn.substack.com/p/americans-...

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

"Tread harder, daddy" MAGA

Pay attention, America. We just got an across the board 10% sales tax on imported goods that you, me and Joe MAGA will all pay to fund Trump's tax breaks for himself and the rest of his billionaire buddies.

They are trying…and making headway toward their goal every day…to squeeze every last breath out of the lungs of democracy. At that point, they plan to stomp on the lifeless corpse. You already know that, but sometimes it helps to see it in print. If we let it slip away…it’s gone forever.

We've taken our accomplishments for granted and not defended them. We need to do better.

When I get to the Senate, I'll support a bill to ban Congressional stock trading on day one. No elected official should be cashing in while the American people see their retirements go down the drain.

Bartiromo to Bessent: "You're talking about $6 trillion in market value lost in a week. You're talking about CEOs now unwilling to give guidance for 2025. Is there a response or a backup plan for what seems to be corporate America shutting down corporate activity?"

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

Maybe if you'd listened, you wouldn't be worrying about either your 401K or your family farm...

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries. They're eventually paid by us at the check out line. And they're regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.

I no longer try to debate the MAGAts. I will send them my thoughts and prayers when they lose their jobs.

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

Trump calls tariffs ‘medicine,’ says he isn’t concerned about stock market selloff. The country doesn’t have Chlamydia. We are just trying to take care of our families.

The Trumps sold their Truth Social stock the day before he announced the tariffs. Martha Stewart went to jail for so much less.
