When a leader draws the military into the political arena, as Trump has done, it erodes the democratic principle of civilian control and non-partisan armed forces.

Trump's push to politicize the U.S. military is a danger to American democracy.

Trump at Navy 250th anniversary event: This is a military rally for political purpose, using his speech to praise himself and blame Democrats. (He said out loud that he thinks it's a rally for him.)

When Congressman Jason Crow took the mic, the tone of the hearing changed. Calmly but firm, he laid out the facts: leaked Signal app messages, sensitive military information shared recklessly, and an alarming lack of accountability from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

From disbanding a gender advisory board to misrepresenting women’s ability to meet combat standards, the defense secretary’s record shows a clear mission: push women out of service.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

It’s a huge waste of taxpayer dollars — money that should be funding critical missions.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.
