Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Absolutely! That was such a crappy pre-game show.

Excerpt from "Something Lost, Something Gained," page 229: Welcome to Trump's America. If you live in a major city, the first thing you'll probably notice are the soldiers patrolling the streets outside your window.

On the left, my warning from September 2024 about what Trump 2.0 would look like. On the right, recent headlines.

I wish I'd been wrong. But because Trump is following a classic authoritarian playbook, itโ€™s up to state and local governments to push back on this tyranny while itโ€™s still possible.

Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago.

Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties

Words cannot adequately describe what a colossal disappointment our mainstream media has been during our slow descent into authoritarianism.

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

The president of the United States is trying to steal congressional seats so I donโ€™t give a fuck about the Cracker Barrel logo discussion. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Itโ€™s absolutely insane that the only person in America who is defending slavery is the President of the United States.

Hey look. Itโ€™s the worst economy since the last time Trump was in office.

Probably just a coincidence
