Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

This is a story about FBI agents being fired or transferred from their ordinary duties, like investigating organized crime or terrorism, to immigration. I just want to put down a marker here: the Trump administration is making a terrorist attack more likely. If one occurs, remember this.

They left their dog.

Open message to Elon Musk: Rumors are swirling that you’re spending $40 million on Super Bowl ads targeting USAID. If there were truly fraud, wouldn’t you not need to spend millions trying to convince people?

The SAVE Act is systemic misogyny. It would disenfranchise tens of millions of women--those who changed their name after marriage but don't have either a birth certificate or a passport with their new legal name.

"All elections are rigged and Democrats don't exist" is the kind of paranoid delusion that once got you shunned from society and maybe committed. Now it gets you retweeted by the defacto president and the adoration of thousands of other cultists.
