“A dictatorship [today] doesn’t come with tanks in the streets, it comes with phalanxes of lawyers and compliant courts,” said Kim Lane Scheppele, a Princeton University sociologist who has long studied the rise of autocracies around the world. “It’s all done legally, and it’s all done bloodlessly.”

Democratic leadership: you have the people’s mandate. Today showed that. We got your back. FIGHT.

This is unusual! Could our pressure be getting to him??

How Trump is Following Hitler's Playbook | Robert Reich YouTube video by Robert Reich

Trump has said that he won’t rule out seeking a third term in the White House — even though this is explicitly blocked by the Amendment.

Why Is Elon Musk Trying to Buy a Wisconsin Supreme Court Seat? Tuesday’s election, as the only statewide race in the country before November, is a crucial test for the growing backlash against the Trump Administration’s agenda.

The race for an open seat in the Wisconsin Supreme Court “is now a proxy battle for whether the American government at every level can be bought by oligarchs,” Ben Wikler, the chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, said.

The Science Brain Drain How Trump's Cuts Are Crippling American Innovation and Ceding the Future

The Trump administration’s war on science is slashing funding, shutting down labs, and driving top researchers overseas. The cost? Medical breakthroughs, technological innovation, and America’s future. My latest

Are all government accounts on X just troll accounts now?

This is from the official House Foreign Affairs Committee—the same committee responsible for foreign aid, global HIV/AIDS policy, security assistance, and national security. This is how they choose to represent themselves.

You truly could not make it up.

You could not.

The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.

Reminder: the First Amendment protects everyone who resides in our country. It doesn't matter if you have a green card or a visa or if you're undocumented. The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that any person residing in the United States, regardless of status, is entitled to 1A protections.

It gets worse.

This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

The Garland v. VanDerStok case was an attempt by the gun lobby to cut the knee’s out from under the ATF, and limit its ability to regulate ghost guns, helping protect gun industry profits at the cost of human lives.

SCOTUS' decision to uphold ghost gun regulations is a win for public safety.

Michael Waltz’s Venmo Is Public, and It’s Full of Journalists The figure who tagged a journalist into a Signal chat about the attack on Yemen also failed to set his Venmo to private, revealing his willingness to engage with reporters of all political stripes.

Writers at SNL super sad because this was going to be their skit. prospect.org/politics/202...

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right.

The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy.

We must end that international embarrassment.

Yes. We need Medicare for All.

Trump's attack on the American mind Behind his closure of the Education Department and his assault on higher education, science, libraries, and museums lie the oligarchs of the techno-state.

Today, Trump is dismantling much of the Department of Education. He has ordered wrestling executive-turned-Education Secretary Linda McMahon to shut most of her department.

But there’s a much larger story here. robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-att...

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense.

I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense

I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

My family issued the following after Medgar Evers was partially removed from the Arlington National Cemetery website under the direction of the Department of the Army.

“It is a spit in the face to all who have served, honored, and fought for this country,” said Myrlie Evers.

Full statement below:

Israel resumes war in Gaza with airstrikes against Hamas: 200 Palestinians reported dead Israeli officials told Axios they notified the Trump administration in advance of the airstrikes and briefed it on the objectives.

Now is the time to be heard.

Who's planning on visiting their Capital city on 4/5?

Gather your like minded friends & family, and make a stand. The movement is growing, and needs to get bigger.

Tuberville says Americans will have to suffer with tariffs: ‘No pain, no gain’ “Democrats, get out of the way, shut up. You have no answers.”

Look at this buffoon!
