And this is why Democrats cannot ignore the importance of building enthusiasm in the base. Secure the base. Drive turnout high. Show them the truth abt the effect of Trumpism on their lives. Build up and out from the base and capture as many voters as possible.Trump is vulnerable. Make the case.

HARVARD PROF David Armitage: “We’re being made an example of by Trump — authoritarians across the world go for the universities first, because they’re set up for freedom of thought and provide critical opposition.”

This should be seen as evidence of the crisis: federal judges fear that Trump will order U.S. Marshals to stand down on securing the safety of judges whose decision they don’t like. This is just devastating.

We are all paying for the Supreme Court’s near-total immunity ruling written by John Roberts that’s unleashed Trump and convinced him he can do anything without consequences.

Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?
🧵
NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.
Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.
Fascism again.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.
So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.
So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

We can surrender to the forces of autocracy, bigotry, xenophobia, and minoritarian rule.
Or we can organize the pro-democracy majority to reclaim its power.

Howard Lutnick, Trump sycophant, is an embarrassing buffoon. We should trust Trump on tariffs? We should believe he knows what’s good for the economy? Take this nonsense as fuel for the resistance.
