He is correct.
But let me tell you why this dude also makes my buttcheeks pucker in a non-pleasant way:
Dude has actively twirled the “both sides bad” purity baton for YEARS.
The current times are the results of the impact of that…
So the “this is bad” schtick NOW is 🗑️

Having read and legally briefed Project 2025, I assure you: violence against MAGA will be incorporated into their justification for formal Martial Law and the suspension of even more rights than they already have.

It's the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, and two things are true at once: The law has never been more under threat, and it's more important than ever to fight for its promise of an equal voice for every citizen.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States
Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
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.

Assigning Sen. Thurmond’s “longest filibuster” of the Civil Rights Act to the dustbin of history is a powerful part of the story.
Because no matter what, that’s where they’re all going, no matter how hard they fight it. Men who fight the future are the most foolish of all men.

Cory Booker will break the record for longest Senate floor speech at 7:19 PM EDT. Fewer than 2 hours from now. The record is held by Strom Thurmond, who was arguing for segregation. GO CORY, GO!
