You know who takes a cognitive test? People whose family members suspect their loved one is suffering from dementia. If he kept getting “perfect” scores…they wouldn’t keep administering them. My take? He blew the first one he ever took. Now, they’re tracking the decline. I’d bet my hot coffee on it.

People can get very creative when making excuses for why they can’t stand up to fascists. Stay away from them. It’s infectious…and spreads quickly from one person to the next.

America is not building enough housing and Americans are facing sky-high housing costs as a result.

Today, the Senate took a historic step to change that.

The ROAD to Housing Act will help communities – urban, suburban, and rural – build more housing and bring down costs.

Trump hates Comey. He hates Letitia James more. She’s black. This strong black woman make an ass out of Trump.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Trump's threatened crackdown on the finances and activities of liberal non-profits and groups opposed to his agenda is a multi-agency effort with top White House aide Stephen Miller playing a central role, according to officials.

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gave ICE more cops than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. Once the bill is fully implemented, nowhere in America will be safe from Trump's secret police state.

DOJ prosecutors in Virginia under Erik Seibert didn't believe they gathered enough evidence to charge Letitia James.

So Trump pressured Seibert to resign and replaced him with a loyalist (and former personal attorney) who would.

Even Nixon made efforts to hide his corruption.

BlinkRX, an online prescription drug delivery company, stands to benefit from proposed changes by Trump that would allow pharmaceutical companies to sell drugs directly to patients.

His son, Eric Trump, is on the company’s board.

Always follow the money.

The President of the United States is openly seeking revenge on his political opponents.

First Jim Comey. Now Tish James. Anyone who seeks to hold Donald Trump accountable could be next.

Trump is ripping a page right out of the authoritarian handbook.

A triumphal arch is an authoritarian signal. Democracies build memorials to shared sacrifice (the WWII Memorial). Autocrats build arches to glorify themselves (Rome, Hitler).

Trump’s plan to flood cities with troops is a lose-lose: it erodes trust in the military, undermines local authority, weakens readiness, and risks another Kent State. Using soldiers as political props degrades U.S. national security.

Many members of The Steady State are former CIA Officers. I fear that soon DNI Gabbard or DCIA Ratcliffe will learn that the CIA is the direct descendent of the OSS, an organization devoted to fighting fascism.

I hope the Deep Staters at CIA can keep it secret. ANTIFA is everywhere.

Trump might have immunity, but ICE does not.

He won’t be able to protect federal agents from criminal and civil prosecution once he’s gone.

Their day of reckoning will come. Broken down here…
