If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Kash Patel plays pretend FBI, Pam Bondi cashes in her ethics, JD Vance bends like a wet flag in the wind… and Dan Bongino? Probably sulking in a corner somewhere.

This isn’t a legal team. It’s Trump’s discount clearance aisle.

Another interesting things is that Trump can brazenly do something illegal for six months and no one will stop him.

“Running the government like a business” is just another way of saying that we should privatize government services afforded to everyone.

You know who would love that? Wall Street and big corporations.

Don’t buy into the myth. https://youtu.be/hqn1uD_B70U?si=aClsRAYTJHYGXpB4

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal."

That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

Standard procedure for new management. If you can't do anything, or don't know how to do anything, you rename stuff.

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot.

REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

This would be disqualifying for a Democratic or Republican nominee in normal times.

This Senate will probably find this to be a positive quality, though.
