That's the issue. He is only one man. If all the people around him (the other elected Republicans) said "no", they could stop him easily. They don't. He is far from the only guilty party.

Using an AI-generated video of himself, Donald Trump sought “to mock and smear millions of Americans, literally depicting them covered in excrement, precisely so that none of his own supporters would want to join them,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues: https://theatln.tc/wY7pEvxZ

Lower Than Cowards The surrender of America’s elites

“The cascading acts of cowardice from the people best positioned to resist Trump’s authoritarian power grabs have made him seem exponentially more powerful than he actually is, sapping strength from others who might have discovered the courage to stand up”

Priorities.

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.

Unfit for Office Donald Trump’s narcissism makes it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.

"No president in recent memory—and likely no president ever—has prompted more discussion about his mental stability and connection with reality."

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Trump is not even flooding the right zones.

That's a very small percentage of Republicans in either chamber that would need to grow a spine, a conscience, or a moral compass, and yet....

Currently the US Senate is 53/45 with 2 Independents, and the House is 219/212 with 4 vacancies.
Thom Hartmann [via Axios]:
“The simple reality is that five or six Republicans in the House [less than 3%] and two or three or four Republicans in the Senate could stop Trump in his tracks".

How delightfully selective bodily autonomy applies to vaccines but not wombs. Apparently the Constitution protects your right to spread measles but not to choose motherhood. One can only admire such principled inconsistency. Freedom means infecting babies, tyranny means reproductive choice.

A day late

September 4, 2025 (Thursday) Senators challenged the decisions of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr.

September 4, 2025

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

Just a typical Trump appointee.

Mocking his appearance and speaking style is unnecessary, hypocritical, and Trump-like. However his conspiratorial, delusional, and unscientific actions in the name of national health are more than worthy of ridicule.

It's not going to happen of course, but tonight is another Goldwater-Rhodes moment. Has a single journalist even bothered to try & track down Speaker Johnson or Senate Majority Leader Thune & ask them why they're not doing their damn jobs or upholding their damn oaths while the Constitution burns?

I’m the son of an immigrant, I’m a damn good artist, I have three amazing children, and a gorgeous fiancée…. and I think America is better than trump. #IAmAmerica

What about you?

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day.

Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day.

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.
