President Trump is rapidly moving this country toward authoritarianism.
Part of that is creating the myth of the “Great Leader” by naming public buildings after himself—something dictators have done.
Today I introduced a bill with @vanhollen.senate.gov & @alsobrooks.senate.gov to stop it.

Awful scenes in Tehran. Ironically, “On Friday, the US repeated that [the government] killing protesters would be met with a military response” — whereas in Minneapolis it’s the Trump administration shooting and killing protesters

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

the ICE officer calling a woman he just murdered a “fucking bitch” is visceral, but imo the most material new information in the latest video is that she very clearly turns the wheel away from the officer right before it happens

Since last year, Trump admin planned what to do if ICE agents were accused of crimes (even murder):
Protect them “no matter what."
Trump laid out ways to retaliate:
—Refuse to hand over an agent
—Charge local officials with “obstructing"
—Threaten to cut off more funding

When I wrote, as a Trump biographer, that the Nobel Peace Prize was likely a factor in Trump deciding to back a repressive regime in Venezuela rather than its democratically elected government, some assumed I was being hyperbolic.
