Trump's ideal plan for the new East Wing.
I think we’re starting to see the Republican Party’s end game here: denaturalizing and thereby stripping American citizens of the right to vote.
Who will be selected? People opposed to Donald Trump, of course.

SCOOP: For the Trump admin's Sept. 2 strike targeting 11 men on a boat suspected of ferrying drugs, SecDef Hegseth gave an order, officials say, to kill them all. When two men were still alive, orders were given to strike again, finishing them off.

Now we have a guy in the White House who owns and plays at multiple golf courses who’s obsessed with remodeling.

I regret to inform you that DHS is whitenationalist posting again. "Remigration" -- ethnonationalist code for "purifying" the nation by expelling ethnic and cultural "undesirables". Chapter/verse fash stuff.

Basically, the United States now has a shoot to kill policy for wounded survivors of unlawful attacks.

It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).
There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

Curious what happens after healthcare premiums spike when the House refuses to vote on an ACA extension, Democrats filibuster again in response, and tariffs are deemed unconstitutional while MAGA cheerleaders like Marjorie Taylor Greene are excommunicated or found to be based in Nigeria.
Since Trump really start declining in early June nothing he and his regime have done have been able to stop his fall. He just keeps dropping. It's pretty remarkable.

That should scare the shit out of the GOP. If she wins, all bets are off. The GOP Congress is toast. If you have time to help with phone & text banking, please do.

Comforting knowing that our government can now just kill people without any legal rationale to do so.

A central issue at trial for the My Lai massacre in Vietnam was whether an Army lieutenant, or the Army captain who was his superior, was responsible for the order to leave no survivors.
Neither suggested the SecDef would have given such a command.

Trump’s base is crammed with America Firsters who claim to hate the way the US has interfered with the internal politics of other countries. This was one justification for cutting USAID and other forms of soft power. But when Trump crimes with his dictator buddy in Brazil, there will be crickets.
Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.
And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2

You know King Trump is plotting a coup when he’s throwing tantrums over a video appealing to the military to follow the law, not illegal orders.
More so when his proposed remedy is executing the Democrats who made it.
Meanwhile, the left is supposedly the party of violence. Absurd times, these.
