Miller’s goal is to supplant the rule of law with the “rule of Trump,” a personalist form of rule that answers to Trump & no one else.

Pritzker & Newsom see that Trump is a dangerous threat to our way of life & are meeting this moment.

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

Today marks yet another day that Speaker Mike Johnson has denied Adelita Grijalva her right to govern.

She won her special election on Sept 23rd but has yet to be sworn in.

Why? Because she will become the 218th vote needed to discharge the release of the Epstein files.

Say her name.

Republicans in Congress could put an end to this insanity today. But they refuse to. And it is on their heads.

America is barreling toward one of three outcomes before the midterm elections. Today’s Office Hours discussion question is which of the three do you think is the most probable? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hours-where-are-we-headed

We laughed at this phony blowhard in the '80s and '90s. He came off as a crude, egotistical jerk who inherited his wealth. How in the wide, wide world of fuck did he ever get elected President? TWICE?

Nice job, America. 🙄

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Lawyers are busy trying to stop 47’s attempt to control the blue cities. Little NAZI Miller lies about hand to hand combat in Portland. Oregon is a varied state. Blue cities, red counties. Like most of the nation. Follow and resist, say something.

Hey remember when Anonymous was going to "release" something really damaging on DJT? Remember when that TikTok grifter was going to release Mike Johnsons GRINDR profile & IP address but instead setup a gofundme? Remember Bob Mueller, Leticia James, Fani Willis, Jack Smith and Merrick Garland? I do.

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

The CBS takeover by Larry Ellison and Bari Weiss is the most foreboding move in a while, and I’m not saying that lightly.

It will have an effect on the 2026 elections: CBS will now lie to people and normies will believe it.

When I was 64 & self-employed, I paid $9200 a year for a policy with a $5000 deductible. That was **11** years ago. It was a huge % of my income but I didn't want to chance going without health insurance. Now repukes want to slash medicare benefits, even though we pay dearly for them every month. 🤬

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.
