The Steady State @steadystatevets.bsky.social · 14h

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

On Trump's desk, plans for a massive triumphal arch to celebrate Trump's victories over Venezuela, Canada, Greenland and Norway.

Rep. Jamie Raskin @raskin.house.gov · 21h

In a democracy based on freedom and the rule of law, we don’t jail public officials—or anyone—because of policy disagreements. We need everyone to repudiate this nonsense because a president cannot act as a prosecutor, judge, jury and dictator.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

So, we brought in $17 trillion in tariff revenue, but we can't pay furloughed government employees? Cool.

A leaked White House draft memo suggests that the Trump administration is actively considering stiffing as many as 750,000 federal workers by denying them compensation while furloughed amid the ongoing government shutdown.

Even Trump knows that HE should be in jail for failing to protect the Capital Police, members of congress, and the Vice President on January 6th!

I have never in my life seen anything like Pam Bondi today. What a disgrace. If we don’t get the house back this country is FINISHED. The founding Fathers Must be spinning in their graves. #impeachBondi

Her refusal to answer Q’s isn’t just contemptuous of Congress, but of the Constitution. This isn’t governance. The AG & entire regime believe they’re untouchable because the system now exists to protect them, not to restrain. Warning to general public: they no longer even pretend to be accountable.

Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸 @judiciarydems.senate.gov · 2d

Sen. SCHIFF: You’ve refused to answer questions about ethics, the Qatari plane, the Epstein files, Tom Homan’s alleged bribery, political prosecutions, military authorization…

Bondi: *tries interrupting*

Schiff: Excuse me. This is an oversight hearing. We demand answers.
