Here's exactly what Rice said on that topic:
"When it comes to the elites, you know, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media, I agree with you, Preet, it is not, it's not going to end well for them. For those that decided that it was, you know, that they would act in their perceived very narrow self-interest, which I would underscore is very short-term self-interest, and, you know, take a knee to Trump, I think they're now starting to realize, 'Wait a minute, you know, this is not popular.'
"Trump is not popular. What he is doing, whether on the economy and affordability or on immigration, now, is not popular, and that there is likely to be a swing in the other direction, and they are going to be caught with more than their pants down, they're going to be held accountable by those who come in opposition to Trump and win at the ballot box.

"And I can tell you Preet, you know, as I talk to leaders in Washington, leaders in our party, leaders in the states, if these corporations think that the Democrats, when they come back in power, are going to, you know, play by the old rules and say, 'Oh, never mind, we'll forgive you for all the people you fired, all the policies and principles you've violated, all, you know, the laws you've skirted, 'I think they've got another thing coming."

When asked what worried her most about the current political situation, Rice said:
"The thing that worries me, perhaps the very most, is the abrogation of the rule of law in this country, and the fact that, you know, we are now living in a lawless society when the authorities of what is an increasingly authoritarian state exercises, you know, personal police forces, to go and execute the will of the President and do so in blatant violation of American citizens constitutional rights, their First Amendment rights, their Second Amendment rights, their Fourth Amendment rights."
"And when you have, you know, masked armed men busting into the houses of American citizens and ripping people out of their homes in their underwear and beating them and throwing them to the ground and putting them in cars and disappearing them and denying them access to counsel or their families, when you have the same people shooting American citizens in the street for exercising their First Amendment rights, we are in a very different place, and that worries me enormously.

"And what also worries me, Preet is, you won't be surprised to hear, is that we're only at the beginning of what I think they may intend to try and that our very elections and our the fundamental elements of our democracy are profoundly at risk."
When asked for her assessment of the Trump administration's past 12 months in office, Rice said:
"Well, I expected it to be very bad, and I guess I would confess that it's probably worse than I anticipated, but not because they're doing things that surprised me. They told us exactly what they were going to do."
"You know, recall Trump saying multiple times on the campaign trail, 'If you vote for me, this one time, you'll never have to vote again. 'Or his, you know, pledge to use the American military against the quote, 'enemy within.'

🧵 Here's exactly what Susan Rice said before Trump called on Netflix to fire her from its board

Susan Rice’s comments are pretty benign but stronger than many elected Democrats.

She served under Clinton, Obama and Biden. Her resume is impressive. ⬇️

Tennessee has completely failed so many of its residents.

We are about have our second little girl and have agreed we need to get out of this state asap.

With interest rates as high as they are we are probably going to sell everything and buy a house on wheels for the next few years.

Over the past 2 months I’ve been testing different APIs and creating stock market visualizations.

My favorite so far is the custom sector Market Bubble chart with either classical or electronic in the background using Massive API as the data source.

More to come!

For ICE to build concentration camps quickly, they're leaning on this Dept. of War program WEXMAC TITUS helps contractors bypass the traditionally lengthy government contract bidding process

NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality.

Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:

‘Show Up for Us’: 13 Democratic Voters on Trump, ICE and Their Frustrations With the Democratic Party
Donald Trump’s second presidency has remade American life in just a year. Many Democrats and others worry about the erosion of civil rights, cuts to the social safety net and the significant, aggressive increase in deportations across the country.

This is good coverage but also so cynical. Because we are now flipping races in Trump land suddenly they discover progressive voters? They could have been talking to us all along. (Gift link.).

My ardent Republican Mom and Dad are horrified by what they’re seeing from the administration. I know I can’t be the only one seeing a change in sentiment.

They were both watching Homan live yesterday and their reaction was, “Wow, these idiots are continuing to double down.”

Redwire (RDW) is just one giant cup and handle technical pattern, currently in its shakeout phase.

I expect it to re-rate with the SpaceX IPO this year and take off. One good quarterly earnings or a task order from SHIELD and it’ll fly.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

The Good and Pretti incidents showed me that I needed to start getting involved at the local level and well ahead of mid terms.

What I saw from the admin was, “The truth is what I say it is” and that’s not leadership. The proceeding double and triple downs from them only solidified it.

When you see things like this being reported from Minneapolis, you realize all this admin cares about is PR and appearances.

1) Incident occurs
2) Flood the zone with lies
3) Pick the narrative that works best
4) Repeat
