"Quit demonstrating" is not something that a pro-democracy politician says. It's something that an authoritarian tool says.

GERMAN PRESIDENT STEINMEIER:

β€œ.. the United States has broken with the values that it helped to establish ..

β€œ.. we have now moved beyond the stage where we can lament the lack of respect for international law or the erosion of the international order; we are far beyond that, I believe.”

Five years ago Donald Trump tried to overthrow an election he lost. He failed, and I assumed that the threat was over. Never in my worst nightmares did I imagine that he would make a comeback and return to the White House.

Screenshot of a post on X by β€œHome of the Brave” (@OfT…) quoting @judgeluttig: β€œIt has been the Republicans who have reprehensibly failed us… These claims by [Trump] and his Republican allies have corroded and corrupted American democracy.” Below the quote is a video still of an older man with gray hair wearing a light-colored button-down shirt and a clip-on microphone, seated indoors in an interview setting.

One of the most respected, actually conservative voices on the bench had this to say about the GOP and Trump.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.

Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.

It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

This war is completely illegitimate: 60% of Americans disapprove of going to war with Venezuelaβ€”74% disapprove war without Congressional approval. Only 19% are in favor.

The people oppose it. Our representatives didn’t approve it. Trump should be removed for this unconstitutional war.

Trump isn’t loyal to his base or the Republican Party. He’s loyal to Trump. His goal is to keep his name in the headlines and monetize it for as long as possible. Anyone who expected him to deliver on promises misunderstood who he’s always been.

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies onβ€”and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

The orange felon says he’s removing National Guard from Portland, LA and Chicago because he claims it lowered crime.

The reality is that the Supreme Court forced him to remove the National Guard as he was illegally using troops to terrorize Americans cities that he hates.

Only a week after putting his name on President JFK’s memorial and just hours after the tragic death of his beloved granddaughter Tatiana Schlossberg, the orange felon began attacking the Kennedy family. He’s an evil immoral cruel scumbag.

The Jack Smith testimony is *devastating* for Trump, his cronies, and the entire MAGA movement.

The office of the presidency is occupied by an absolute horrific human and treasonous criminal.

On a day when the Kennedy family is grappling with an unimaginable personal loss, Donald Trump chose to use his platform to launch petty, vindictive attacks against them. Yet another stunning display of cruelty and utter lack of basic human decency.

Trump posted a photo claiming it shows a bald eagle in the United States killed by a windmill.

In reality, the image is of a dead falcon in Israel from 2017.
