Our authoritarianism is run on clichés borrowed from the Eastern Europe of twenty years ago. Paid protestors, disloyal cities, evil Soros, vast conspiracies — it was all tiresome then and there, and now it’s pathetic.

Trump: "They're, like, insurrectionists, they're terrible people. But you really wonder why. Why are they doing it? What are they gaining? Other than they're obviously paid. They're paid a lot of money."

The Peace Prize is announced tomorrow. I can picture Marco Rubio's goons storming the Nobel offices with machine guns, demanding a last-minute change.

Reverend David Black, other faith leaders, journalists, and protestors have joined a class action lawsuit alleging ICE violated their First Amendment rights during protests outside a detention center.

The brutality of this regime is on full display.

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.

Taking my second day off from the blog today. Don't feel sad. I just made tacos. But I will point out how good my tortillas are getting. I can really crank them out now. If you missed my chicken wings recipe you can check that out in the comments. #Cooking #CookingSky #Food

Tacos in soft masa tortillas. Chicken, pickled onions and pickled peppers.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.
