Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Trump: “We took the freedom of speech away because that’s been through the courts and the court said, ‘You have freedom of speech,' but…when they burn a flag, it agitates and irritates crowds…You end up with riots, so we're going on that basis.”

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Only the military remains outside Trump’s grip. Despite the firing of several top officers—and his threat to fire more—the U.S. armed forces are still led by generals and admirals whose oath is to the Constitution, not the president. But for how long?

NEW: Colo. AG Phil Weiser (D) isn't optimistic that the Supreme Court will uphold Colorado's ban on conversion therapy for minors. It would be the third SCOTUS loss for Colo. on free speech/religious liberty grounds. I asked Weiser if Colo. is hostile to conservative Christians. #copolitics

Over the last few months, the Trump Administration has pursued illegal military action in the Caribbean and are preparing for what looks like a regime change military operation in Venezuela.

Without a vote and without public debate.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.
