I can't repeat this enough.
I've said this before and I'll say it again.
It would only take a tiny handful of Republican Congress members or senators to stop the slide of America toward authoritarian fascism, but nope. They're all in.

The President of the United States is trying to economically damage and coerce NATO allies because they don't agree with his imperialist ambition to seize a NATO territory by force.
Donald Trump is the most egregious traitor and saboteur of the West in history.

I see Cong. Ritchie Torres’ “big idea” for taming ICE is to put QR codes on each of them.
So instead of abolishing, defunding, or even “reforming” ICE, he just wants to commodify it, ie., commodify state-led terror squads.

This essay is incredible. Describing it as a narrative about regional journalism in China is like saying Citizen Kane is about publishing. Just start reading it.

Trump is terrorizing our communities with a campaign of inhumane un-American ICE brutality - and he's paying for it by raising health premiums on 20 million Americans.
Effective because it's 💯 true.

“BAD ADVICE.” Republicans are embracing a method to criticize Trump’s actions without calling him out
Blame advisers.
Threaten Greenland? Just “bad advice.”
Tariffs? “It’s not the president,” it’s Navarro.
Investigating Powell, credit card rates… List is long.

'Bad advice': Republicans criticize Trump's policies without going directly at him
Republicans frequently say those around Trump are giving him "bad advice" as a way to disagree with his policies while avoiding blaming him.

Newsom's redistricting move was the single most effective act of defiance against the regime. I don't think it's even close. And everything else he has done screams that he would be the single worst human being to take on Trump or Vance or Jr. in 2028.

In my opinion 80% of metro Atlanta’s government-solvable problems remain unsolved because the state is run by rural princelings who hate cities and their residents.
This is the dynamic across most of America: Liberal cities generate revenue, which state governments then transfer to benefit conservative rural areas, whose residents despite city-dwellers and consistently vote to harm them. But politicians endlessly pander to rural voters and demonize cities.
Another critical piece of missing context in this story: tax dollars flow from the MSP metro to rural Minnesota. People in the city subsidize the lifestyles of people living in the country minnesotareformer.com/2023/12/04/t...
