Doug Krugman is a 24-year Marine Corps veteran who chose to resign rather than participate in Trump's and Hegseth's #ForeverWars. His voice carries the weight of someone who has personally made "life and death targeting calls" in combat zones like Iraq and Afghanistan.

2/3 The law only works if it’s armed with minds ready to use it.

Every serious democracy must gather its best constitutional lawyers...historians...and strategists before the crisis...not after it.

The courtroom is the last trench of civilization.

Conveniently, right before the midterms!

This isn’t going to go the way they think it is.

The National Guard isn’t going to allow themselves to be used as Trump’s voter suppression force.

Republicans Keep Gerrymandering and I Keep Suing Read more here.

As Republicans keep up attacks on congressional maps, they should get used to seeing my law firm in court. On Wednesday, North Carolina Republicans enacted a newly gerrymandered map that targets Black voters to create an additional seat for a white Republican. The next day my law firm sued.

Newsom Says Trump Is β€˜Rigging the Election’ With Federal Poll Monitors | KQED In an interview with KQED, Gov. Gavin Newsom warned the Trump administration is laying the groundwork to question the results of California’s Proposition 50 vote.

In an interview with KQED, Newsom said Trump wants to cast doubt on the Nov. 4 vote. The Department of Justice says it's sending monitors to protect the votes of "eligible American citizens."

Donald Trump's puppet DOJ has no business screwing around with next month's election.

Sending the feds into California polling places is a deliberate attempt to scare off voters and undermine a fair election.

We will not back down. Californians decide our future β€” no one else.

Elon moves $133 million in crypto from SpaceX, and Trump accepts a $130 million donation. Hmmm… is Elon buying his spot back? Probably just an odd coincidence.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

Longest government shutdown in US history - 35 days (Dec β€˜18 - Jan β€˜19)

Second longest shutdown - 22 days+ (Oct 1st β€˜25 - present day)

Both shutdowns occurred under Trump.

How Americans let this criminal lunatic keep failing upwards will vex historians for generations to come.

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters.

I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes.

It makes far more sense to interdict them.

While 40 million Americans are at risk of being unable to put food on the table without SNAP, and millions more at risk of losing health care or paying skyrocketing premiums, Trump is boasting of his $300 million ballroom where he can host lavish parties for his donors.

He’s the living personification of what the 25th amendment and impeachment were for.

If Congress had any guts, he’d be consigned to the trash heap.

Bruce Springsteen on Donald Trump.
