US military personnel in uniform literally were on hands & knees rolling out a red carpet for the most murderous dictator of the 21st century...we keep on acting like Putin deserves to be brought out in open like any of head of state. This is a historic embarrassment."

I moved to DC in 1986, when there were still visible sign of the 1968 riots, and I live a few miles outside of town now. I can honestly say I have never been more frightened than I am now. The crimes committed at the WH take away more than property. They threaten democracy.

β€˜We will not rubberstamp’ Trump on Iran strikes, top Dems say Senate Democrats slammed Trump for "a lack of preparation, strategy, and clearly defined objectives."

Top Senate Dems are demanding Trump outline "a clear, detailed plan" for dealing with Iran, saying the president has left Congress in the dark as he weighs direct US involvement in Israel’s campaign against Tehran.

Noem Incorrectly Defines Habeas Corpus as the President’s Right to Deport People

Opinion | We Study Fascism at Yale. We’re Leaving the U.S. The decision by these three Yale professors to move to Canada is both a warning and a call to action.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. β€œWe’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. β€œAnd what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

5 things Trump did this week:

1. Signaled he would cave to China

2. Had judges arrested

3. Claimed grocery prices are way down

4. Admitted he didn’t know the status of the Epstein files

5. Released plan for a golf club trip after attending the Pope’s funeral

Trump administration says Harvard may lose ability to enroll foreign students The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said Harvard University will lose its ability to enroll foreign students if it does not meet demands from the Trump administration in the government's latest escalation against the educational institution.

Trump says Harvard may lose ability to enroll foreign students

Weaponizing government agencies to force compliance to a dictator is exactly what happens in Russia.

So now we have IRS, DHS, DOJ, etc involved in attacking Harvard
