Let me just say it again: he can’t cancel the midterms. Elections are administered by states.
He can’t do it. Stop telling people he can do it.
Telling people their votes don’t matter based on absolutely false fantasizing by the demented sociopath is doing the work of voter suppression for him.

Sudden resignations among professionals who took their oath seriously are a tiny signal that something has gone deeply wrong inside the system.
Typically it takes an investigation to know what.

Folks in the US still like to treat the whole Greenland invasion stuff as sufficiently unserious to engage with, but it is sufficiently serious that NATO allies are actively deploying tripwire forces to deter the US. That is *already* a political and actual cost to them, and to US relationships

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

The Bayeux Tapestry, a 70 meter long medieval masterpiece created by artisan women, is actually an embroidery in crewel (wool yarn) on a linen ground. Depicting the Norman conquest of England, it was made in the 11th century & will be displayed at the British Museum this year. #WomensArt

They're seeing 1) how the world reacts 2) how Congress reacts 3) if there is any formidable legal or military opposition 4) if they can normalize it like they tried to do with the Gaza genocide (I don't think that succeeded, and their attempts to normalize Epstein are succeeding even less)
