My operating assumption is that he tried to do a hasty coup in 2020 that failed, and so everything he does in his second term should be understood as laying the groundwork for a second coup to succeed.

"Republicans are protecting murderers and pedophiles"
"GOP is more interested in protecting a murderer than keeping the government open" is an easy message

At this point, everyone in the regime faces prison if there is accountability.
So they can only escalate. As they lose public support, they will get even more violent, because it’s that or consequences. This is extraordinarily dangerous.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.
Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.
It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

I served 25 years in the Army. What I saw today was un-American. A VA ICU nurse is dead after federal agents were unleashed on a U.S. city at the whim of a sick and disturbed president.

It wasn't enough that they killed Renee Good and then refused to investigate her shooter.
But they were also going to investigate her for criminal liability after she died.
Thankfully a judge denied the DOJ's search warrant.

This is a systematic effort to violate constitutional rights as policy while keeping it secret from the public, the courts, and Congress.
Yet more evidence that "reform" is not an option. The bare minimum is to abolish ICE and permanently bar all employees from future federal employment.

I hope these men are put on trial. But we deserve more: we need truth and reconciliation. That is the only way to rebuild a just society. The sickness this man and his fellow fascists embrace runs deep for millions of people -- and the violence they are inflicting will last for generations.

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.
His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

Trump has a ten-month plan to ensure further elections are impossible.
It's *not even halfway through January* and his paramilitary is occupying a city and killing protesters as he prepares to invoke the Insurrection Act and floats canceling elections.
