Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."

Kristi Noem appears to have had in her entourage during her visit to Portland, Oregon, this week a Jan. 6, 2021, insurrectionist who days earlier had told a friend, “We need a war, bro… This country will never stop being soft until another big event happens.”

“We all swore an oath to the Constitution, and I am honestly scared… he’s going through with these authoritarian actions.”
Sen. Brian Schatz

It’s political terrorism on Americans.
And too many Republicans are enabling it.

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

“Just like we did with the cartels” is soft pedalling

They bombed multiple boats in international waters

They killed everyone on board

Why? Because they said they had drugs. They said they were terrorists. They’ve never shown any proof

Now they’re saying they will do the same thing to Americans

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Am I reading this right? Did Trump say he took freedom of speech away?

Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 1h

Flagging Trump this afternoon:

"We took the freedom of speech away. Because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech — but what has happened is, when they burn a flag it, agitates and irritates crowds."

My column on tax, fairness and companies paying nothing.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If we want a better, more equal society, we need more tax. But more tax only works if big business pays their fair share | Grogonomics

Trust in both the tax and political system will falter if people feel they are being punished for not paying tax while large companies legally get away with paying nothing

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Republicans have created a health care crisis. Congress must act to save health care for millions of Americans.

Before working moms go broke from a cancer diagnosis.

Before community hospitals are forced to shut down.

Before your neighbor with the home health aide loses his care.
