“Serious”

He’s got all the craziest ones in Congress still, no question

Trump’s attack on Iran and the plot against your vote Donald Trump is planning to use his attack on Iran to justify a power grab over voting in the 2026 midterms.

Donald Trump is planning to use his attack on Iran to justify a power grab over voting in the 2026 midterms. The fact that the attack violates the Constitution won’t stop him from trying. It is our job to expose this plot and ensure that it does not succeed. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Gah

When he tries to run for a third term, I bet Trump will use the SCOTUS ruling in Trump v. Anderson to say that states can't bar him from the ballot under the 22nd amendment, either.

The SCOTUS gift that keeps on giving.

Election chiefs huddle to combat Trump’s meddling, and an illegal draft executive order aims to give him control of elections The most restrictive voting bill ever passed by a chamber of Congress. The Department of Justice’s grab for state voter rolls. And a potential executive order giving President Donald Trump the power t...

This week, Trump and his allies kicked into high gear their illegal campaign to prevent fair elections in 2026. Democracy Docket not only covered every step, but revealed key new information along the way. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Good, yes, agree. They are very desperate because it isn’t going their way.

Live with Ruth Ben-Ghiat & Joyce Vance No one speaks more eloquently about the art of resistance and why we shouldn’t give up than historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat, the author of Lucid here on Substack.

Authoritarianism scholar Ruth Ben-Ghiat explains why she believes Americans are succeeding at developing systems to resist the slide into authoritarianism and why we shouldn’t give up. joycevance.substack.com/p/live-with-...

Gah

The next Big Lie is to taking shape right in front of us. Donald Trump will try to use this to assert illegal and unconstitutional powers over the 2026 elections.

It would be cool to have a legislature that acted to defend its own constitutional prerogatives and, maybe as a treat, the interests of the people it represents too.

Remember that time there was part of a file so incriminating it wasn’t redacted it disappeared and then we went to war?

That’s now

I think it's once again worth reviewing Trump's serious psychiatric disorders and how they relate to the performance of the duties of his office this morning.

Yes, he’s afraid. Oppression is the mask of fear.

Strongmen, like Trump, live in constant fear of being held accountable — which is why all of us should be concerned about what they might do to the upcoming midterms.

The best thing we can all do is pay attention, call them out for what they’re doing, & turn out in huge numbers in November.

I too think more networks should run "pro-America content" like handy explainers on the constitutional limitations on the president's powers and the independence of Congress

Huh. So his very powerful other ways of doing this not going great?

Here’s the thing about real estate huckster and TV star Donald Trump. He’ll do it if he thinks he can get away with it. The only constraint that deters him is public reaction. React.

Trial balloon

1. Attack, attack, attack
2. Deny everything, admit nothing
3. Claim victory no matter what

Be strong 💪

Strength is about doing the right thing, decisively, consistently, rather than checking to see how it plays with voters in Ohio first. There is an opportunity here for Dem candidates who offer decisive, CONSTANT radical defense of democracy and a full-throated fight against the tech-fash oligarchy.

Yes. It’s bad.

Bad grammar, to boot. Should slow down and proofread.

De-Bondification of DoJ
De-Noemification of DHS
De-Tulsification of the Intelligence Community
De-Trumpification of everything

Go after all of it when he’s gone. At the earliest possible moment.

I’m so sorry

Don't walk out because he's offensive, walk out because he's lost you. Worse than dangerous, he's a listless and boring liar who can't hold a room anymore. Be the physical manifestation of his time running out.
