Dude.

There are clear parallels between the degradation (dismantling) of American democracy and Brexit/Reform.

In both cases a comfortable middle class intelligentsia is shocked to find its country hijacked by knuckle dragging bigots who somehow captured the democratic system while we were sleeping.

Enten: "Trump is doing absolutely awful in the minds of the American people. We're talking about new lows. CNBC, -13 net approval on the economy. It's -19 among Quinnipiac ... He's not just beating himself with record lows -- this is the lowest for any president ever."

To hear Mark Elias say this is no joke. In the context of commentators on American democracy this is as serious as it gets. This man, champion fighter of democracy, not an alarmist, filtered, passions restrained, just told us: DOJ, FBI weaponized, Republicans openly trying to rig elections. 🚨 Fire!

Perfect. Now do the Reagan speech where he extols the virtues of immigrants. “Anyone can come to America and become an American.”

Someone should make a government where policy isn’t made by one person having a tantrum.
Like the power to do things should be…separate 🧐

It's clear from today's AP photos that Trump has entirely demolished the East Colonnade—added to the White House by Thomas Jefferson in 1805—and restored by Theodore Roosevelt in 1902.

The East Colonnade didn't occupy the footprint of the Trump "ballroom"—its demolition was completely unnecessary.

Call it what it is.

Trump’s Whorehouse.

This Shit Has Got to Stop Now.

"Muslim Americans have a long and proud history of service to this country, and when we allow people like Mr. Cuomo to endorse such a racist ideology, we dishonor not only Muslims Americans but the central idea of what we want America to be."

This shouldn’t need to be said: ICE shouldn’t be cramming detainees into overcrowded temporary holding cells in the basement of a federal building.

My San Diego delegation colleagues and I are putting DHS on notice and demanding they give the public answers.

Absolutely

Democrats should be holding press conferences where the East Wing used to be.

Pritzker on Fox: "He's challenging the integrity of the next election by sending troops into our cities. It isn't about fighting crime. He said he's going after the worst of the worst. That's not what they're doing. They are literally after black and brown people because of the color of their skin."

Hell, yes! Former Special Counsel Jack Smith has called Republicans' and the criminal conman's bluff. Smith is offering to testify publicly about his probe into Trump’s theft of classified documents, his fake electors scam, and his treasonous attempted coup to overthrow the republic.

1/2

Imagine if in another country the president’s masked army racially profiled in opposition areas as he enriches himself (even raiding the treasury), oligarchs renovated a massive ballroom for him, and his unofficial top advisor said he won’t leave.

Is this how democracies end?

One name and it rhymes with Sheet Shegseth

THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!

@demcast.com’s Director of Partnerships, @jctheresistance.demcast.com,
didn't just organize the massive #NoKings rally in Salt Lake City - she ignited it.
Her #CupOfJoe electrified 15,000 patriots, turning a crowd into a movement. ⚡️

President Zelensky: I do not understand why the leader of the largest country on Earth needs a few more kilometers. This war is not about land, but about our independence.

If you believe what he says, I’ve got a bridge to sell you!

One more reason why Democrats need to take back Congress. We need hearings, subpoenas, and daylight on every back-channel to Moscow.

We have no ‘friends’ at the Kremlin‼️

David Brooks was on Morning Joe today.
He was talking about the No Kings protests, and saying that as a conservative, most left protests do not inspire him to join.
But the recent No Kings did. It was all those ”normie” grandmas carrying American flags

Politics is a game of addition not subtraction

They aren’t going to get it. Too many of them must be in the Files.

DO NOT GET DISTRACTED!!!!

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!!!

That’s called murder

So this Speaker is just a Waterboy for the Pedo ring that is at the top of America’s power structure.

Lielenol causes Autocratism

Because Boomers care & older citizens vote & are politically informed at a much higher rate than young people. Having old people out on the streets - especially White old people - should make the GOP very nervous.
