Keep the pressure on the very few republicans who know none of this is okay
Bernie Sanders: "We have a president who is moving this country rapidly toward authoritarianism...to a large degree the future of this country rests with a small number of Republicans in the House & Senate who know better, who do know what the Constitution is about, and it's high time they stood up"

I remember when I myself got quite upset that Barack Obama saluted while holding a coffee cup.

Seeing a POTUS conduct a formal ceremony... IN A BASEBALL CAP ...makes me realize that I may have been unfair to President Obama.

Younger folks around here might shocked to learn that once upon a time Bill Clinton let a few campaign donors have a sleepover at the White House & the national media spent months treating it as the greatest scandal in the history of the republic
President Trump is quite literally selling seats to a private dinner and White House tours to foreign nationals for $4 million+ a piece.

Much of the money goes into his own pocket.

This is corruption to the highest degree.

Fox News is so desperate that right now they are featuring a piece about Biden’s memory loss using his interview with his wife on Tthe View as “evidence,” saying it was the worst media something or other in the history of whatever. Deflect deflect deflect.

What monsters do this to prevent aid reaching victims of war?
UPDATE from the attacked Gaza aid ship:
They're trying to enter Maltese territory because of damage to the ship, and fears of a possible second attack.

The Maltese Coast Guard is allegedly blocking them.

This is it. We’ve reached the place where people are cheering and yelling, “Zig heil!”
at his rally in Michigan, Trump plays a propaganda video of prisoners having their heads shaved at the Gulag in El Salvador to big cheers from the crowd and "U-S-A!" chants

Why do the press & some politicians keep referring to this kind of behavior as “childish” & “dictatorial”? This is pure and simple insanity. This is beyond impeachment time. It’s time to invoke the 25th amendment.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Rachel Maddow tonight freaked me out. Of all the stuff going on right now this is the most dangerous. DOGE captured data from The department of labor. Then they went and fired the guy who monitors cyber security for the department of defense. But it gets even worse…

A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Did we really ship $350 Billion to Ukraine without any oversight?!

Of course not. And it isn’t anywhere near that number. Here’s the truth:

Last night, a family member by marriage, who watches Fox News and supported Trump, referred to Trump as a maniac. I have a glimmer of hope. This too will pass. Unfortunately, it will take a long time and much of our national treasure.

This is damgerous. It’s buried under all of the other Doodoo that’s coming up from the toilet & overflowing in a gush of volcanic proportions. It gives Musk & Dump access 2 people‘s most personal data. They can track yr activities, financial and otherwise, through your SSN. This has to stop!
This is naked corruption that uses federal policy to pour money into the pockets of the President's largest campaign donor. Forcing the nation's 70-some million Social Security recipients to sign up for the website owned by a Nazi saluting billionaire is outrageous.
