When we get through this despicable period in America—and we will get through it—Americans will have learned why and how important government is to making life better.

A completely serious question.
When people, and businesses, and institutions with the resources and reputation to stand firm…don’t, where does that leave this country.

Compared to Hungary, Turkey, Venezuela, Poland, Trump is moving MUCH faster, more aggressively, and with broader claim to power. We're not in danger of becoming those autocracies--we're very quickly surpassing them. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/w...

If you wonder how countries slip into dictatorship, it’s like this.
Amidst another flurry of news, an official adds at the end that Trump has signed an Executive Order saying that “only the President or Attorney General can speak for the US…as to what the law is.”
What?!

I wonder why Musk is focused on the federal civilian workforce (4% of the budget) and not federal contractors, which account for 3x more annual spending and are more prone to waste, fraud, and abuse?

You’d think that the Senate, famously described as a place where everyone looks in the mirror and sees a future president, would have one ambitious Democrat who would see their opportunity here.

Democrats: what you need to all be saying, with a single voice, is "The United States government is in crisis, and our political and economic system may collapse, because Donald Trump is trying to throw out the Constitution and make himself a dictator."

NIH funding supports the vast majority of all biomedical research in the United States. Virtually every advance in American medicine and biological science comes from NIH. This is a blow against American science.
Call Congress, 202-224-3121.
Call Congress, 202-224-3121.
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

This is at the National Cathedral in DC. That's Trump and co. right there in the front. Rev. Budde said this right to his goddam face.
If you're in a position of power and privilege, are opposed to what's happening, and get given a literal podium from which to speak?
This is how you fucking do it.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"
