Our system failed us. The electoral college. The 25th Amendment. Impeachment failed us, twice. The Supreme Court. The DOJ. The media failed us. Our Constitution didn't fail us, it just requires honorable participants and now, we are about to lose that as well. That’s how erosion works on democracy.

What exactly do you have to do to be classified as being part of the "radical left reign of terror"?

I have avoided mentioning the War in Gaza, but I wish people would stop saying Trump ended the War in Gaza. Blowback ended the War in Gaza. Somewhere around 80% of American Jews think Isreal is committing war crimes. Common sense is ending the War in Gaza. Donald Trump happened to be president.

Don't let them say they're shocked, they're surprised, they didn't vote for this... This is exactly what they voted for. They even wrote it all out in a plan... The message could not have been more clear. If nothing else, they need to stand behind the courage of their convictions.

If you’re following along at home, Josh Hawley was the guy on January 6th giving the fist pumping signal to the crowd and then seen running for his life as they stormed the Capitol. Apparently, he missed “Call Log Day” at Yale Law School.

People are waking up and Pam Bondi did them no favors yesterday.

Here’s the deal, almost everyone can relate to dealing with an individual like Pam Bondi or Stephen Miller at some point in their life, and that experience has never ended well, and people can see through their bullshit. The American people already know it when they see it, and it’s on full display.

As you’re watching clips of Attorney General Pam Bondi looking smug, indignant, above the law and arrogant when answering questions as the people’s AG as if she’s Donald Trump’s personal attorney, just remember that Richard Nixon’s AG was indicted, convicted and sent to prison. So there’s that.

Yep.

Welcome to Donald Trump's America. Not my America. Maybe your're okay with this, hell, maybe you even voted for this and think it's a great thing, until it happens to you. It's a dangerous path.

True.

JC Hawman 🏳️‍🌈 @keeptherepublic.bsky.social · 1d

If you like watching implosions, wait until you see the slow-motion collapse of the entire branch of our government, formerly known as the Department of Justice. I couldn’t watch more than a few minutes but the clips being posted now are just as painful. That portion of the coup is now complete.

Pam Bondi is above the law, and she knows under her leadership the entire administration can operate above the law. Let me know if someone wipes that smirk off her face.

It's funny that 15 million being thrown off healthcare didn't phase many people, but when you ask 20 million more to stick a crowbar in their wallet, suddenly we have people's attention. What!? I'm paying what!? It wasn’t that they should be upset people are without, it’s paying more for themselves…

I just realized part of the problem with our great nation - #Maddow is competing with Monday Night Football.

It is SO refreshing to hear Gov. Pritzker talk OPENLY about the threat to the elections and the threat to our democracy! Finally! Someone gets it! Where are Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries tonight? If they aren't watching what he just said, show them the clips! It’s a coup! Lose the suits! #Maddow

I love when Rachel Maddow puts it all on one screen so people can see the image of what he's done. Like in Trump: Epsode 1, when she had the wall of people he's fired in his own administration. #Maddow

Jeffrey Dahmer may have been just a creative chef, I'll have to check with DOJ. #Maddow.
