"Quit demonstrating" is not something that a pro-democracy politician says. It's something that an authoritarian tool says.
Rep. Roger Williams: "People need to quit demonstrating, quit yelling at law enforcement, challenging law enforcement, and begin to get civil."

Five years ago Donald Trump tried to overthrow an election he lost. He failed, and I assumed that the threat was over. Never in my worst nightmares did I imagine that he would make a comeback and return to the White House.

One of the most respected, actually conservative voices on the bench had this to say about the GOP and Trump.
![Screenshot of a post on X by “Home of the Brave” (@OfT…) quoting @judgeluttig: “It has been the Republicans who have reprehensibly failed us… These claims by [Trump] and his Republican allies have corroded and corrupted American democracy.” Below the quote is a video still of an older man with gray hair wearing a light-colored button-down shirt and a clip-on microphone, seated indoors in an interview setting.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.
Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.
It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

This war is completely illegitimate: 60% of Americans disapprove of going to war with Venezuela—74% disapprove war without Congressional approval. Only 19% are in favor.

The orange felon says he’s removing National Guard from Portland, LA and Chicago because he claims it lowered crime.
The reality is that the Supreme Court forced him to remove the National Guard as he was illegally using troops to terrorize Americans cities that he hates.
