To be clear, this now a massive cover up involving the President, the Attorney General, the FBI Director, and the GOP Congress.

Trump gets bullied by Wall st, Elon ran for the hills, Stephen Miller’s wife ditched the White House, Bongino is a shell of himself, and Hegseth is anxiously wiretapping his own office. All while Putin and Xi eat our lunch. MAGA’s “Alpha Men” are nothing more than a pack of cowardly sissies.

We’re watching fascism consolidate power in real time.
This administration is not simply “a different ideology.”
It is a coordinated, authoritarian machine — with the Supreme Court, the House, the Senate, and the executive pen all under its control.

We need action. We need a plan. NOW

A MORAL CRISIS

“The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored.

If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.”

Take 3 minutes. This is important.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Millions of you, around the world, have put the lessons I wrote in #OnTyranny in late 2016 to good use. It has been humbling to learn how from courageous and creative dissenters, protestors, and oppositionists. I was honored when John Lithgow volunteered to read them aloud.
Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

What. The. Actual. FUCK!!!! The level of utter incompetence is bigly off the charts, like no one has ever seen before. That's what everyone is saying. We've never seen incompetence like this.
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

A really powerful WWII era "don't be a sucker" piece, that explains how authoritarians have to separate and destroy groups of people so they can take power. I don't usually watch anything this long (22 min) but couldn't stop watching once I started this.
Please watch and rewatch this movie, in the U.S. Archives from the @usarmy.bsky.social #DontBeASucker a reminder of how the Nazis conned their country into becoming the cause of mass murder and all the other horrors that Nazis unleash.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

A bunch of Christian nationalists were at the White House yesterday, meeting with Paula White and praying over President Trump. Among those in attendance were David Barton, William Wolfe, Jim Garlow, Samuel Rodriguez, Robert Jeffress, and Gary Bauer.

They want the unreviewable power to grab people and render them to a foreign gulag.
If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

The crypto boondoggle and grift is here. David Sacks (one of the largest crypto holders on Earth, the others being close friends of his) is "advising" the POTUS on the development of a national crypto reserve, to be funded with, you guessed it, our tax dollars. 🤔
