The Spell Is Broken From governors to European allies, the fear and deference that once insulated Trump are fading and the White House is no longer neutral ground.

Trump still has the office but the reverence is gone. Governors are boycotting. Foreign leaders are shunning the photo ops. The spell is breaking, and the #WhiteHouse is no longer neutral ground. #uspolitics #kakistocracy #authoritarianism

Ask Not… Unless You’ve Got a Million Dollars President’s Day in Trump’s America: monetized power, tariff taxes, and allies quietly backing away.

President’s Day in America: the #WhiteHouse runs a “SALE,” companies jack up prices, and somehow Janis Joplin is in the #Epsteinfiles.

#Tariffs are taxes. #ICE raids are gutting construction. Canada is quietly preparing for a post-US anchor world. #uspolitics

Good grief. Everyone knows they were just friends.

‘Residential protesting’ could be a crime in Minnesota under new GOP proposal A bill that’s backed by a coalition of GOP lawmakers set to be proposed at the start of the upcoming session would make “residential protesting" punishable under Minnesota law.

The GOP is once again showing its disdain for the Constitution.

Dow 50,000 and the Schmoo Tree Economy Wall Street wants strong growth, low inflation, rate cuts, AI profits, and zero disruption, all at the same time.

Global markets have outpaced the U.S., AI is spooking entire sectors, rate-cut fantasies are wobbling, and #WallStreet seems to want a Schmoo Tree economy, growth, low inflation, Fed cuts, and zero disruption all at once. #uspolitics #kakistocracy #authoritarianism

Corridors, Not Colossi DHS escalates, Epstein exposes the web, Trump builds monuments — but the Rockies remind us systems can be redesigned.

Flash-bangs, file dumps, and a 15-foot bronze ego.
Britain convulses. America scrolls.
But up in the Rockies, someone is building something better. #epsteinfiles #uspolitics #kakistocracy #authoritarianism

Fully Funded Power, Fully Hollowed Institutions While Trump stages strength at Fort Bragg and billionaires scramble over the Epstein files, TSA agents work unpaid, measles spreads in parking lots, and accountability becomes optional.

#Trump campaigns at #FortBragg, floats regime change, #DHS shuts down, #ICE stays funded, billionaires scramble over #Epstein fallout, and doctors are diagnosing measles in parking lots.

ICE point weapon directly at woman peacefully protesting, just inches in front of her face.

Goon is pointing a B&T GL06 grenade launcher and shooting someone at point-blank range with this so-called
"less than lethal" ammo could be fatal.

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer?

You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators.

So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔

Great sitting down with Brian Tyler Cohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the Obama Foundation. youtube.com/watch?v=uI-hgSE5QIw

The US government will not stop sharing Nazi propaganda And their supporters are loving it.

Individually, each post could easily be dismissed, but taken together, they seem to form something more deliberate: a stream of repurposed Nazi propaganda for the everyday person’s feed.

Governance by Stock Chart Climate denial, Epstein fallout, ICE chaos, and a Homeland Security shutdown — but don’t worry, the ticker is green.

Velvet Ropes, Coal Trophies, and Balloon Wars A week in Trump’s America: loyalty dinners, laser mishaps, tariff threats, DOJ deflection, and the slow collapse of institutional gravity.

#PamBondi stonewalls on #Epstein. Trump threatens Republicans over tariffs. The #WhiteHouse runs like a velvet-rope nightclub. Foreign influence comes with Rolexes and gold bars. The IRS hands immigrant data to ICE.

We are not moving on. #uspolitics #kakistocracy

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

Attacking “this age of progressive, suicidal empathy” as the enemy reveals a fundamental problem: this isn’t a country with political differences. It’s a country with clashing worldviews.

And we need to be more clear-eyed about who holds them.
