Right, we're calling it an "illness" that Heritage Foundation's Kevin Roberts had to cancel his talk. Maybe he's only using his illness to go skiing in Vermont? In Russia?

Am I the only person who remembers who Kirill Dmitriev is?
He was in the Seychelles in January 2017 plotting with Trump envoy Erik Prince, a Jared Kushner envoy, Emirati Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed and a host of shady characters who'd worked to steal the 2016 election for Trump.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!
Trump: "If you notice, every country that has the death penalty has no drug problem. They execute drug dealers. And when you think about it, it's very humane, because every drug dealer on average they say kills at least 500 people ... I don't know if our country is ready for it. I am ready for it."

How to Organize Our Way Out of the Trump-Musk Putsch
By firing Gwynne Wilcox, Trump is hoping the Supreme Court will overrule 90 years of legal precedent and give him the authority to fire members of independent boards.

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board.
Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

Bingo. I keep telling people I know that there’s no grand plan here, or to anything he does. He’s not playing 4D chess. He’s a fascistic sociopath that seeks adoration and applause for everything he does, and he wants to be the focus of EVERYTHING.
It’s that simple, folks, don’t overthink it.

Ha, democracy and people's outrage transmitted to Congress are working. Kash Patel doesn't presently have the Senate votes he needs for confirmation. Encourage your friends and family to call, too!
It’s extra important for your GOP senator to hear from you right now if you’re in one of these states.
Call your senators and tell them to vote NO on Kash Patel’s nomination for FBI director: indivisible.org/resource/cal...
Or send an email to your senators: act.indivisible.org/sign/demand-...
