Chamberlain's reluctance to challenge Hitler and spark a war was born out of the trauma WW1 had caused in Europe. It was so destructive physically and mentally that he can almost be excused for trying to do everything he could to avoid a second war. These guys are just craven.

Isn't the easiest explanation for the Muskian rampage that he's working on behalf of Putin and extracting fanatical, bloody revenge against US, weakening the country, shrinking our military, destroying our reputation, melting our alliances, making us poorer & now punishing Americans directly?

This is exactly how Hitler talked. It's not even a comparison or analogy, as people claim. It's a direct connection in ideology as well as a similar approach to governance and relationship to democracy. This needs to be how we talk about it. They are the ideological descendants of Hitler.

"Think of Congress and its budget as the debt-ridden dad on the way to buy a $250,000 Ferrari on the credit card, and DOGE is the $2 off gas card he used along the way," Riedl said. "It's great that he saved $2 on gas, but I think his wife may be more concerned about the $250,000 car."

This really needs to be repeated loudly. The government is NOT a business and shouldn't be run like one.

When talking about the administration's bad acts, we should not use his name. Say: "The Republicans fired nuclear engineers and can't hire them back." "The Republicans shut down CFPB, allowing banks to continue stealing billions from customers." Hang Trump around their necks like an albatross.

Trump regime tweets this wordless video—nothing but the hum of an engine & the clanking of chains—comprised of closeup shots of a human being shackled for deportation. This is, no hyperbole, fascist fetish porn.

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

If he's not an actual Russian asset I'm not sure you could tell. It's unsurprising he thinks this. Also textbook fascist. Hitler blamed Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland for forcing him to invade (after all capitulated on demands to try to appease him). www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-s...

It’s quite clear by now that the answer to “why is the Trump administration doing x terrible thing?” is that they are trying to dismantle America and destabilize the entire world.

Listen, you may want to save Medicaid, an essential lifeline to 80 million Americans. But verily I say to you, wouldn't you rather give the richest dork ever to live massive tax cuts & billions in subsidies while buyng a bunch of his shitty trucks that even his fans don't want?

At this point I genuinely don't think it's hyperbole to say that Elon Musk is functionally in charge of the US government. Perhaps not in specific policy areas - two bills or one on the hill, policy in the mideast. But certainly functional control of the state apparatus.

I think the correct thing is for state governments to pass legislation to seize federal employment taxes to make up the promised shortfall and put them directly to their own coffers.

Musk wouldn’t have taken questions in the Oval Office and looked like a cornered criminal if the pressure and attention wasn’t building. Don’t stop highlighting that the richest man in the world is taking over government. Keep talking. Paper your city if you have to. Do not give in.

Don't forget, by "waste" he means "spending I and my donors don't like". There is waste in government, as in any organization. But these doofuses aren't finding it they're just wholesale shuttering departments that aren't in line with giving more money to billionaires.
