The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.

For the idiots who said the orange felon would never be allowed to become a Dictator in the US, take a look at him literally seizing total control of Washington DC despite no legitimate reason other than to consolidate power and militarize the area he’s in just because he can.

β€œOur Economy is booming” is Trump-speak for β€œworst three months of job growth since COVID”.

Crockett: "They have already decided the only way they can win, b/c they have failed policies, is by making sure they can cheat their way, & while they're cheating, the only way they can do that is while they violate the Constitution as well as the Voting Rights Act & make sure it's people of color"

People are claiming that Donald Trump has gone full fascist by militarizing law enforcement in Washington, D.C. to shift focus away from the Epstein files, which mention him multiple times.

I think that's outrageous!

Outrageous that it even needs to be said. Of course, he is.

First, Donald Trump used the Marines and the National Guard to support his mass deportation agenda in Los Angeles.

Now, he's using similar tactics in D.C. like a tinpot dictator.

Don't look away. Don't stay silent. If you do, don't be surprised if it's your city next.

Man remember when they gaslit everyone so hard during the campaign. The lies, the grandiosity, and the conviction all would be so much better under Trump 2.0. They were convinced he was the better choice. How absolutely wrong they were. We could have literally picked ANYONE IN THE FIELD.

Trump's tax law will mostly benefit the rich, while leaving poorer Americans with less, CBO says President Donald Trump’s tax and spending law will result in less income for the poorest Americans while sending money to the riches, according to a new report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budge...

Basically if you make under 70K you’re screwed.

Donald Trump has personally incited more crime in Washington DC than perhaps anyone else living. He pardoned violent criminals who attacked our Capitol and put them back in American communities. He even made a man who was filmed urging the crowd to kill DC police officers a senior adviser at DOJ.

I've spent more time working in juvenile courts than Jeanine Pirro and can tell you there's *no relationship* between her description of the juvenile justice system and the reality those of us who aren't cultists live in.

Is she an ignorant lush who speeds? Yes. A criminal justice professional? No.

A stronger case for why D.C. should become a state has never been made. Trump’s seizure of power today is based on false pretext and is meant to distract from Epstein. But it has real consequences.

The people of D.C. should not be ruled by a tyrant. This is intimidation without representation.

We need a stronger Democratic Party.

This current crop still isn't it.

They still don't get it.

BREAKING: Trump is deploying the National Guard in D.C. to distract you from the fact he will not release the Epstein files.

I am in Washington, D.C. I feel safe. I am reporting live.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless β€” a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class β€” is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

When Trump refuses to leave the White House in 2028 we will look back on the day Trump federalized and militarized D.C. WITHOUT ANY BASIS WHATSOEVER as the beginning of that coup plot

So, no national guard on January 6th, but definitely on August 11th. Makes total sense.

Wolff: This is a key issue right now in the way the White House is looking at the Epstein scandal.

The fear is that Ghislaine Maxwell can tie Donald Trump to the details of what Trump and Epstein called the P*ssy Committee.

The Committee consisted of their efforts to get girls for Prince Andrew.

Yeah JD, we remember. We will never forget your boss was best friends with the guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring.

And then that guy was "silenced" forever.

And now we will just not talk about anything else until they...
