Kleptocrats to benefit from Trump DoJ’s anti-corruption pause, experts warn Former prosecutors criticize Pam Bondi’s decision to halt enforcement of bribery laws as short-sighted and dangerous

As I told @TheGuardian, DOJ’s halt of corruption enforcement efforts harms consumers and other members of the public.

Why I went to Washington, DC this week I'm trying something new, and I think it'll pay off.

"My hope now is that we see more Democrats embrace independent media. My hope is that we see them let their guard down and go into uncomfortable spaces and take risks and forget about the polls and be a lot more real so that we know who they are and what they’re doing and how they’re fighting back."

The Expanding Attacks on Speech Blocking legitimate journalists, deleting language, canceling GOP town halls, cutting university fundingβ€”these are all connected

β€œWe are watching the authoritarian playbook unfold at an intense pace, often making it hard to grasp how interconnected the antagonistic acts are…If they succeed at blocking free speech & silencing dissent, the ability to know what’s true & false will grow dimmer.”

As Trump Works for Russia's Dominance Let's be clear about what's happening, believe what we see, and assert our commitment to democratic values and ideals

β€œLet’s not underestimate the seismic shift away from Trump’s America that Friday’s Oval Office assault is causing and will accelerate around the world. Every democratic nation that assumed America was its ally must now reassess its relationship.”

Marcel Dirsus on the rise and fall of tyrants "The tyrant usually tries to destroy as many institutions as possible because they’re constraints on his power."

New in PN: @marceldirsus.bsky.social on the rise and fall of tyrants

"Democracies can survive a lot, but they collapse when soldiers, police officers, and intelligence agents no longer serve the state ... that's sort of the absolute worst-case scenario."

Why the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting imploded It happened in part because the White House perceived a loss of focus on the reason they were even gathering.

Seems like why the meeting imploded was more like "Trump is senile and has lost all impulse control and JD Vance is pickled in online fash propaganda" www.semafor.com/article/02/2...

I’m pretty sure the number of Nazi salutes at an event that makes it a Nazi rally is one but I guess it’s nice all these CPAC speakers are offering confirmation

My Open Letter to Elon Musk From Marc | Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are β€œundermining civilization.” This is my response.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.

I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong Other Democrats, from Schumer to Hochul, should follow her lead.

β€œThe Trump administration understands that it does not have absolute power and that it must rely on creating a false illusion of power to create a chilling effect to get everyday people to respond to fear, comply in advance, and censor their own free speech.”
