Former CIA officer & Senator Elissa Slotkin warns Trump is enacting an authoritarian playbook — deploying U.S. troops into American cities against local authority.
“This isn’t about safety. It’s about control.”

What is relevant is the message, not the time of the message. He has been declining in public since 2016, and he has been a fraud and a liar all of his life. That is the message.

Just like Americans, the Europeans need to wake up and find some unity before it’s too late. #GlobalSecurity #NationalSecurity @ec.europa.eu

At an AI summit, Trump bizarrely claimed his uncle at MIT once taught the Unabomber, who never attended MIT and wasn’t identified until years after his uncle’s death. Later, he forgot he appointed Jerome Powell. Trump’s false claims are growing. #Trump #CYNCVerity #BlueDartAlert @politico.eu

Trump, JD Vance and the MAGA fascism virus that has infected our nation are about cruelty and self-service. This Pysisican has a message. #DemandDemocracy

I recently visited court room 600 where the Nuremberg trials took place. Not only could you read and see the history, you could feel it while sitting In that room. I wonder if this history will repeat itself in the USA when Trump is finished? #History #Fascism

If you believe what Trump and the Republicans are telling about immigrants and healthcare, you either can’t read or you just don’t read and you sole source your info. Pick your poison. #Idiocracy

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

President Macron: “Europeans, let's wake up!

We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks.”

On my podcast @kimberleyjohnson.bsky.social says Dem congressional leaders need to be tougher and do more, that the way they are dealing with Trump isn't working. "That is the 1990's version of politics."

@kimberleyjohnson.bsky.social cautiously predicts high mid-term election turnout based on history. "I think we're going to see a massive -- MASSIVE -- turnout, despite all their efforts to keep people from the polls."

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.

They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

Looking slender and fit to you? The point I made about what was being done on that stage is the important point.
