Trump is constantly Projecting, just about every time he opens his mouth on just about any subject, he is projecting.
Be assured, when he accuses anyone of a crime, he is talking about himself.

Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill says redistricting in New Jersey to eliminate MAGA republican seats just like what fascist GOPers did in Texas is on the table when she assumes office.
Good, every Democratic Governor should plan on doing the same in the near future.

The Ellison family’s desire to take over Warner Bros should alarm anyone concerned with U.S. propaganda & media consolidation—
They would own Paramount, Warner Bros, CNN, CBS, HBO, TikTok & a host of major cable channels

Whenever I read one of these transcripts, it's clear that Trump represents a colossal failure for the US political system
Electors should have stopped it in 2016. 14th Amendment should have stopped it in 2024. Cabinet could stop it now with 25th Amendment but won't. Congress won't impeach. WTF

What’s happening at the Supreme Court this week is bigger than just one FTC commissioner. The majority seems ready to endorse the “unitary executive” theory, giving Trump the power to purge agency staffers and replace them with loyalists. It’s a frightening prospect we should be paying attention to.

Shapiro: This is an area that voted for him. And yet he comes back now, almost a year after taking office, having screwed over the very people who put him in power.
As a result of his policies, their costs have gone up…
