Trump hired
Loyalists with no skills so they would not force him out with the 25th amendment! I do not see this happening at all!

The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to María Corina Machado, the Venezuelan opposition leader who has become a symbol of democratic resistance against an increasingly authoritarian regime, even as she has been forced into hiding and barred from holding public office. https://wapo.st/42AcHaX

Fascist regime!

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 1d

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

Buc-ees in Texas.

It’s not a tourist destination, folks.
It’s a Greg “Fascist” Abbott destination. You know, the sycophant invading other states at 🤡’s beck and call?

For the love of freedom, stop going there. Other stores sell roasted nuts and gas.
Promise.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

Yeah. I think inflation will be up and supplies short in December. Cargo containers coming into the US are 1 million below last year. Eventually, they will have to. It at inflated prices.

Retailers stocked up early to beat new tariffs, but apparel spending is down nearly 4 percent. My take is that this holiday season feels more cautious than celebratory. Confidence is still there, but it is careful. #econsky

"The president seizes on a grant of authority which is only supposed to be exercised in an 'emergency,' declares an endemic problem to be an acute one, then insists courts have no authority to review his emergency determination, no matter how divorced from the facts or law." — @lizdye.bsky.social

Trump is the insurrection

And the Supreme Court's conservatives are his shock troops.

The simple truth is that Trump is a criminal. Now he and his accomplices are back in power, and they’re using that power to smear the honest agents and prosecutors who investigated them. www.thebulwark.com/p/bondi-host...
