Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.
What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Journalism is about objectivity, not neutrality. Neutral "journalism" is a canard.
Neutrality and objectivity are not the same. Objectivity is a slave to facts in pursuit of the truth. Neutrality is the art of presenting fact and fiction as equal.
Neutrality evelates lies. It's de facto bias.

"Unproven" is a hell of a word choice, AP. It's made up. It's a blatant lie. It's absolute nonsense. I can say I'm part unicorn. That's not just "unproven". It's literal BS I just made up!

The fact that a person responsible for this is now being lauded by media for his commitment to civil discourse - to the point that people who dissent from this consensus are facing threats to their livelihood - is making me feel like I am losing my grip on reality.
Nearly 50 college instructors across #Illinois landed on #CharlieKirk's “Professor Watchlist.” @wbez.org reached out to all of them and found the list triggered hateful messages, threats of rape or death, and intensification since Kirk's killing.

Illinois professors face threats after landing on Charlie Kirk group watchlist
An online database compiled by a group affiliated with slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk identifies close to 50 Illinois college instructors it labels "radical professors."

I’m old enough to remember when that CBC comedian teased Pierre Poilievre on the campaign trail and Poilievre said when he was Prime Minister that comedian would be out of a job.

In conclusion, if Dems aren't talking about how Trump et al are stripping Secret Service protection from their politicial enemies—and aren't imposing political consequences on those who use violent threats to expand their power—then Dems aren't actually serious about stopping political violence.

Whether it's Obama wearing a tan suit or Trump declaring "Chipocalypse Now" and pledging to unleash "the Department of WAR" on America's third largest city, leaders of both parties have shown disregard for presidential norms.

RFK Jr. wants to "make America healthy again."
So he's doing that by dismantling federal health agencies and firing civil servants who inspect our food, track infectious diseases, and research life-saving treatments and vaccines.

at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: they’re all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.
I’ve seen a lot of cishet allies who are also confused by all the prominent Dem voices suddenly acting like having trans rights means we can’t also have vaccines and schools and national parks, and that’s because some of the “why” is happening at a pitch only queer and trans people can hear

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans.
And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich.
Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly barring states and organizations that receive government funds from helping undocumented immigrants.
This will make it harder for the most vulnerable people to get help in the aftermath of disasters.

Honestly, this may be one of the most important media graphs I've ever seen.
The claim: Democrats keep using annoying words.
The data: Republicans CLAIMS Democrats use them, which then becomes the narratives.
