Unfortunately, American evangelicalism believes they are the only river.

They understand the assignment.

Republicans need to come back from their month-long paid vacation and do the work of democracy. Cancel the health care cuts. Reopen the government. Restore nutrition. Release the Epstein File. Cut the crap.

US ‘on a trajectory’ toward authoritarian rule, ex-officials warn A network of former intelligence and security officers says democratic decline is accelerating under Trump’s rule

Retired intelligence analysts confirm what the political scientists are telling us — and what the world outside is telling us — the goal of these people is the end of law, the end of democracy, and the end of a recognizable republic.

Trump Administration Live Updates: Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

Normal Times in Dire Times Fascism does not break normal life, it feeds on it.

"History has already shown us how this story unfolds. Fascism is not built only in the camps and cells. It is built in the shrug, the silence, the insistence that life can go on as if nothing has changed"

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House.

Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

I am not at all optimistic about the prospects for our country. But I do know one thing - if there is to be any hope at all, it will be because we organized, because we joined forces, because the one thing we believe in, is "We the People..."

This Supreme Court is going to overturn Obergefell.

Just be prepared and plan for it accordingly.

Virginia Democrats Plan to Redraw House Maps in Redistricting Push

Play hardball, Democrats. This is the only way to take on a corrupt, authoritarian Trump regime playing for all the marbles.

"Everybody disregards everything he says..."
And yet here's Miller.

This video attempts to answer the question everyone is asking: “Can a president remodel or demolish the White House? Technically no.”

Kind of late now. Trump already turned a National Historic Landmark into a pile of rubble.

“We have no idea what you’re talking about, or what Republican extremist fed you those talking points.”

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social tosses aside Mike Lindell’s *reporter*’s foolishness and explains how Republicans drastically slashed health care to give tax cuts to the rich.

Translation: no Democrat will ever be allowed, again, to gain control of the White House, House, or Senate.

Carney: But this decades-long process of an ever-closer economic relationship with the United States is now over. And as a consequence, many of our former strengths as a country—more particularly, our economic strengths based on close ties to America—have now become our vulnerabilities…

I hope it's more like the Berlin Wall, where we can go see bits and pieces of it somewhere after it's been torn down.

I hope I live to see it.

Whoever is the next Democratic presidential candidate should vow to tear down the hideous ballroom and rebuild the Rose Garden, I bet there are a lot of votes in that

Then head over to that fucking patio.
