Just unsubscribed from another silly email re 25th amendment & Trump removal. Ignorant efforts like this make progressives look foolish.

NEW: For the last several months, I have written and spoken regularly about the rise of authoritarianism in the United States. This is not something I ever envisioned for myself β€” and it is certainly not something my ancestors envisioned for their great grandchildren.

THE ENEMIES WITHIN It is incredible that just 48 hours after the most dangerous, anti-American speech ever given by a president, too many have just moved on to the next thing ...

πŸ“ŒTrump’s vile speech should have triggered a national discussion reaching a fever pitch right now. Instead, we’ve moved onto today’s drama: the predictable GOP shutdown of a govt. they so clearly hate.
We have dealt with shutdowns, but never a president intent on using our military to attack us.

"We’ve run out of synonyms for incoherent, rambling, batshit crazy, deranged, and demented. So, suffice it to say that a lot of what Trump said was simply drooling piffle as if his prefrontal cortex was turning into rancid guacamole."

Look at this video. Take a long, hard look at this scene. Masked federal agents, armed like soldiers on a battlefield, a dozen of em, taking down & detaining one immigrant. On our streets. Take a long, hard look at this. And then pass it on to others. This is Trumpism. This must not be who we are.πŸ‘‡

The Trump regime is spinning the horrific attack on the Mormon church as anti-Christian terrorism, but the guy who did it thought the LDS church was the antichrist, a Christian concept.

Mario Guevara faces imminent deportation after being detained by ICE for over 100 days.

His crime? Livestreaming a β€œNo Kings” protest.

If you were outraged about Jimmy Kimmel, you should be more outraged about Guevara.

Trump aide Homan accepted $50,000 in bribery sting operation, sources say President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan accepted a $50,000 bag of cash from an undercover FBI agent last year in a since-closed U.S. Justice Department bribery investigation, two sources familiar with the matter said on Sunday.

Think Big for a Change, Democrats: Call This the β€œNo Kings” Shutdown. The consultants will tell you that taking this stand against Trump is a political loser. But this time is different.

Imagine if Schumer and Jeffries said this: President Trump is "using the Justice Department and other agencies to pry into the lives of Americans. They’re rifling through people’s mortgage documents. And then knowingly spreading lies about what they found far and wide."

Buttigieg "surprised" at Harris' reason for not making him her VP pick "I just believe in giving Americans more credit," he told Politico.

Pete Buttigieg responded to Kamala Harris' assertion that it would've been too risky to have a Black woman and a gay man running on the same ticket, saying: "Politics is about the results we can get for people, and not about all these other things."

Column | Kimmel’s suspension confirms what many suspected after Colbert’s cancellation Media companies must punish Trump critics if they want their mega-mergers approved.

Column: The systematic effort to censor American media isn’t exactly subtle.

President Trump has not disguised his intentions or his reasons. He has gone through some trouble to emphasize that he wants to control who’s on television and what they say.
