Mr. Secretary, the president is on the phone. He sounds very angry and he keeps calling you Lil Marco.

When can you own anything you desire. Live anywhere you want. The only thing left to buy is power. And buying power is just another form of greed. But it's the epitome of greed. It is greed in it's most destructive form. #economy #GOP #maga

“Putting your political opponents in jail because they are your opponents—not because of what they did—is the heart of tyranny. It is an obviously impeachable offense,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on the indictment of NY AG Tish James on Trump-ordered charges.

Let Trump go after his perceived enemies. What will happen is facts about Trump will reemerge or come out in their defense. These people aren't going to sit in silence while being attacked. They will fight back. And they will fight back with the facts about Donald trump. @jd-vance-1.bsky.social

I believe it was Morley Safer who said something to the effect of he finds it abhorrent that anyone would burn the flag. And he also finds it abhorrent that there would be a law against burning the flag.
I say the irony is the flag itself is representative of the right and freedom to burn the flag.

Fear is the foundation of Trumpism. He knows that getting people to fear for their own safety activates their most primal—and manipulable—instincts.

Most Americans have never seen pure fascism before. Pritzker and Newsom are 100% right to describe what Trump is doing and why.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 3d

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

New from me:

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

Data centers are receiving billions in state tax exemptions.

These centers, many owned by Big Tech giants, are driving up electric bills and sucking up huge amounts of water.

It has reached the point where there are only two possible responses to the actions of the Trump administration. We each must choose one. Those responses are, Sieg Heil! Or F--k You! #ice #Portland #Chicago

I’ve been anxiously awaiting this story about the private jet that has done most of the ICE flights to Africa since August, and @jerodmacevoy.com knocked it out of the park.

So much new information.
