Absolutely brutal.

It was always about personal profit

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else.

Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

I’ll take the sleepy grandfather with actual experience and surrounded by smart people over this chaos.

Not joking: as of today Donald Trump is the absolute greatest destroyer of wealth the country has ever had

Let’s go Leon!!!

ANALYSIS | U.S. could lose democracy status, says global watchdog | CBC News Possibly defying a court order. Urging his Justice Department to prosecute nemeses. Repeatedly calling the media 'illegal.' Declaring a predecessor's pardon null and void. U.S. President Donald Trump ...

"If it continues like this, the United States will not score as a democracy when we release [next year's] data," said Staffan Lindberg, head of the Varieties of Democracy project, run out of Sweden's University of Gothenburg. www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

Interesting that once again all the foreign indexes are up and the US stocks are down. Hmmmm …

Stocks are diving reacting to the crazy policy and instability actions of this administration. Seems like business actually prefers the stability of grown ups over petulant children.

I missed the address. Was there an update on the eating the pets crisis?

Well we are heading rapidly backwards to the 19th century.

The same week that Elon Musk baselessly called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," his co-president Donald Trump announced that he wants to create a national crypto reserve.

This could result in taxpayer dollars being used to prop up an actual Ponzi scheme.

Hello?

It’s been said but worth repeating that everything makes sense when understand that everything DJT does is for his own best interests and not the country’s.

Now that English is the official language of the United States, I look forward to everyone understanding the difference between “your” and “you’re,” “their” and “they’re,” and “to,” “two” and “too.”

Well done Vermont!

Vance is completely wrong here. US military sales to Ukraine served as a catalyst to rebuild our production capacity for our own potential military needs. I bet you'll never hear him say the same thing about US missiles fired to defend Israel, though that did deplete short-term stocks.

If it wasn’t crystal clear before it certainly is now. Trump is Putin’s tool.

Following the V. Orban playbook.

Noticing that the further we get into Trump 2.0 the more queasy the markets are. Uncertainty isn’t their happy place. Trying not to panic.

That’s more polite language than I would use for them.

“At least Russia has elections”

Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999.

If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

Prediction: within a short time, Kennedy Center will be renamed Trump Center.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Thinking about the hundreds of thousands of fired government workers who are now eligible for unemployment benefits and COBRA.

Or said differently, 25,000 stacks of a million dollars.

YouTube video by Russian Media Monitor Evgeny Popov says Trump is doing Russia's job

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV host Evgeny Popov says that Trump is doing Moscow's job by ripping apart the Western world — whipsawing right through it, the way Russia always wanted to. Popov says that it's truly amazing.
