Vance is back in Indiana today, personally pressuring GOP lawmakers to ignore their conscience and enact an extreme gerrymandering plan. The fact that they have to send in the VP tells us something important and encouraging: politicalΒ pressure againstΒ this plan is working, even in deep red places.

This was always the plan.

Project 2025 was Donald Trump's blueprint to seize unchecked power within the federal government and restrict Americans' freedoms. And he is implementing it right in front of our eyes.

Jeffries: β€œRepublicans acted with great urgency to swear in two right-wing members of congress to do in the American people… What is the delay with respect to Representative-elect. Grijalva? Anything to do with Republicans continuing effort to hide the Epstein files? Inquiring minds want to know.”

Trump thinks he’s a king. Forcing a government shutdown because you don’t get your way has nothing to do with democracy β€” it’s autocracy. Join us to make it clear that there are still NO KINGS in the USA: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

To all those attending the US Open, you know what to do.

Boo loudly, record footage, and share it EVERYWHERE.

Trump won’t get to heaven if he keeps murdering people on boats | Will Bunch There was no legal or moral justification for the Trump-ordered boat bombing that killed 11 Venezuelans. It could be just the start.

Trump's fears about getting into Heaven didn't stop him from playing God himself and summarily executing 11 people on a boat who may have been drug dealers or might have been innocent migrants

The president wants you to know he can murder with impunity. My column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

β€œSo the blowing up of this vessel was entirely unnecessary. It was also literally performed in the sense that Trump posted on Truth Social a video of the attack, essentially a snuff film.”

Just because the Trump administration labels a group or person a "terrorist" and uses the military tools of counterterrorism, it does not magically transform the target into a "terrorist" much less a lawful target for lethal force.

β€œThey are repurposing the β€˜war on terror’ for entirely new sets of supposed enemies in a way that is radically inappropriate. Now the supposed terrorists are in our own backyard in the Caribbean…”
