Historian here, this was a long interview on how Trump is criminalizing political dissent, politicizing the armed forces and civil service, asserting unchecked executive power, as a path to create the dystopian world of Project 2025. A couple of sentences made it to the final clip!

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

Opinion | How to Save the American Experiment

Political violence, post-pandemic one-party rule, vast economic inequality, and immigration backlash? The 2020s are the 1920s all over again--and that may show us a way out. Adapted from my book, to be published next week. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/o...

Historian here, I know the tech bros are poster children for fascism but what about Stephen Miller who was a philosophy major like Goebbels Kevin Roberts of Project 2025 fame who is a historian and Russ Vought who majored in history and political science. These “thinking men” are just as dangerous!

Opinion | Democrats shouldn’t bail out Trump as the shutdown drags on The best time for the opposition to take a stand, rather than settle for untrustworthy promises, is right now.

The White House is blatantly violating the Constitution, ignoring Congressionally-allocated spending. Approving any budget would put a stamp of approval on the end of checks and balances.

It'll hurt, yes, but it's time for opposition. The political costs will mostly fall on the people in charge.

After a federal court blocked his attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard, Donald Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon. They are on their way there now.

We are taking this fight back to court.

A judge appointed by President Trump no less

there's a picture of her with the front of her shirt just soaked in blood. imagine trying to crack an 84 year old woman's skull and body slamming an 84 year old vet leaning on a walker.

is this the warrior ethos we've heard so much about?

19-year-old Leilani Payne who got sprayed directly in the eyes by federal police yesterday is back out at the Ice facility tonight.

Tell me about it! My philosopher husband was pretty dismayed!

Well certainly the “elite” institutions they attended!

Many American Jews sharply critical of Israel on Gaza, Post poll finds Most Jews say Israel is committing war crimes — and 39 percent say genocide — while often distinguishing between the country and its leadership.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

FBI Director Kash Patel * ® @FBIDirectorKash X.com BREAKING: MSNBC still an ass clown factory of disinformation. Same circus animals that slobbered all over perp walks of Stone, Navarro, Bannon... MSNBC has no facts and no audience In this @fbi, follow the chain of command or get relieved. & Barb McQuade @ @BarbMcQuade • 15h DOJ policy prohibits "perp walks," in which arrestees are paraded before the cameras.

Among other things, it remains extremely weird that the [checks notes] director of the FBI uses phrases like “ass clown factory” in public statements posted on his official account

Vance is responding to a purported quote from Joy Reid THAT SHE DIDN’T SAY.

Left is Vance quote-tweeting a BS MAGA account. Right is my transcription of the video. She’s talking about HER PARENTS’ EXPERIENCE OF RACISM NOT HERSELF. SHE’S QUOTING HER MOTHER.

Vance didn’t listen / doesn’t care.

Arrest of conservative influencer Nick Sortor outside Portland ICE building now under federal investigation | CNN A conservative influencer who this week posted videos of clashes outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland, Oregon, has been released without bond after he was arrested late...

Harmeet Dhillon is now threatening the entire city of Portland because a conservative influencer got arrested outside the ICE building. These people are insane.

Oh no just identifying with the worst in history needs to be shut down!

They didn’t infiltrate. They were invited in by the Admin. And the mainstream WH press corps didn’t stand up for their own (Yamiche Alcindor, AP).

The US is deporting a journalist today

Mario Guevara was live streaming ICE atrocities

They grabbed him

Detained him for 100 Days and are sending him to El Salvador without letting him say goodbye to his family

The ACLU confirmed he was working in the US legally

They’re attacking the free press

Oh he can just unilaterally pass unconstitutional laws now huh ok

Everyone should listen to Chris Murphy's extraordinary warning about Trump on our pod. First, he says the logic must be that the more lawless he gets, the stiffer the resistance.
