This keeps coming to mind for no particular reason.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

This @monacharen.bsky.social summation of Trump's villainy in his first four weeks is so thorough and scathing that I can't even choose what to quote from it. Everything that needs to be said, in a three-minute read. Go for it. lnk.thebulwark.com/4126yCO

"There’s an even bigger danger. If Democrats keep ceding ground in the public debate, what will be left?" Don't let the guys burning down the house set the terms of debate. Pick a fight and make it popular. Tom Malinowski on fighting the USAID fight:

The "it was never going to be me" is so powerful. He got one shot at making a statement that would be made public and decided to proactively shame anyone who decides to drop the case and to also draw a red line for everyone else in these positions to reference. So smart, strategic and honorable.

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

Trump's negotiation tactic is to call a dictator and bow to his every whim while throwing Zelensky and the Ukrainians under the bus.

Inflation is increasing under Trump. Turns out renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America wasn't the solution.

Trump is blaming Ukraine for being invaded by Russia. Let that sink in!

Republicans are going to cut Medicaid and SNAP in order to provide tax cuts for billionaires which woll further increase the deficit.

Instead of Democrats getting upset that their voters keep asking them to do more, maybe take it as a compliment that we think you are willing to stand up. You don't see Republican voters asking anything from their leaders.

This is all so troubling & overwhelming. It's causing irreparable harm to people unnecessarily & destroying important institutions. The power to stop him & remove him lies with Republicans in Congress. They could impeach him today. The mechanisms exist. They are the ones allowing this to continue.

If you want to hurt Trump, you hurt Musk. If you want to hurt Musk, you hurt Tesla. About 1/3 of Musk's wealth is tied up in TSLA stock, meaning that the stock price is an attack surface . . . 1/ www.thebulwark.com/p/tesla-is-e...
