What if I'd told you in, say, 2010, in the wake of the Iraq War and the subsequent political upheaval: "yeah, not only will we not learn our lesson, not only will none of the people who perpetrated this crime be punished ... we're going to do it all over again! Less than 20 years later!"

It absolutely is.

Here’s the thing: a President openly contemptuous of Congress & willing, unilaterally, to recklessly and illegally commit the US to wars of aggression is an existential threat to the Republic, *regardless* of whether he can ultimately explain his acts to Congress.

The demand must be impeachment.

Fascist Failure The State of Trump

"He is failing at fascism. He can break things, but he cannot make things. He can bluster, but he cannot triumph." Comforting words from @timothysnyder.bsky.social today: snyder.substack.com/p/fascist-fa...

Excellent.

@schumer.senate.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Protest is patriotic. Skip the farce that is this state of the union.

"I cannot in good conscience participate in a function with this president at its center. To do so would require me to ignore all that has gone before and to pay him a measure of respect that he has not earned. I will not be attending the state of the union address." Senator Angus King, (I-ME).

Ain't that the truth!?

NO KINGS NYC!

Thanks for writing this. Great stuff.

Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, And The Construction Of Political Crisis What we care about, and demand accountability for, is largely up to us.

"What we care about, and demand accountability for, is largely up to us...Making it politically costly for Republicans to operate in this way is the key to stabilizing American democracy." I couldn't agree more, @brianbeutler.bsky.social www.offmessage.net/p/trump-epst...

Me too. The amount of damage they are doing is absolutely infuriating.

After leaving WHO, Trump officials propose more expensive replacement to duplicate it HHS proposes spending $2 billion a year to re-create systems the U.S. accessed through the WHO at a fraction of the cost, according to officials briefed on the matter.

"Spending 2 to 3 times the cost to create what we already had access to makes absolutely no sense in terms of fiscal stewardship." These grifters are bankrupting our country, along with all the other bullsh*t. wapo.st/4tKRwyM

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.

The largest federal prison in the nation is Fort Dix, which has a rated capacity of 4,600 people. The largest of these warehouse camps may hold more than twice that number of people.

The federal government hasn't operated a prison camp inside the United States that large since Japanese Internment.
