For those of us warning about democracy's potential disintegration, the decision by CBS to pull an exhaustively researched 60 Minutes piece, critical of Trump, is another red alert moment.

When truth disappears as the media gets coopted by the regime, there's little left.

They're in a f*cking cult.
Posting this one too.

My senior Senator did a masterful job in calmly and methodically exposing the cult-like commitment Trump judicial nominees have to lying through their teeth in order to please their beloved leader.

Just a sad, embarrassing display.
PAINFUL to watch. There’s a clear Trump judicial nominee loyalty test.

They must forever deny, deny, deny that he lost the 2020 presidential election.

Fragile.

Quite the day for Patel to drop this new content.

The FBI has completely bungled the Brown shooting - the shooter is still at large! - just like the Kirk shooting.

Maybe that's because Patel is doing interviews like this instead of doing his job.

I just came out of the briefing with Sec. Rubio and Sec. Hegseth on the military strikes in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific. Here's what I learned.

Bottom line: there is no legal or national security justification for what they're doing. Not even close.

We have 24 hours before the Senate vote to stop the January premium increases - $6,200 annual increase for the average Connecticut family on an ACA plan.

Republicans can still choose to do the right thing and vote with us.

It’s important to remember there are two scandals here:

1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes.

2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.
BERMAN: Did you see any evidence of them trying to use a radio in the video you saw?

TOM COTTON: Well I saw lots of evidence of them standing on the boat that had been capsized

BERMAN: That wasn't my question. Did you see any evidence?

COTTON: No, I didn't

What we are watching - as U.S. citizens are dragged out of cars and illegal war is waged in the Caribbean - is the corruption of the most sacred power we give the President - the power of violence.

We are no longer a democracy if the regime can use violence without restraint.

This is totalitarianism. Not rule of law democracy. And everyone who excused thus is potentially signing this nation’s death warrant.

The pardons Trump is handing out are a huge, growing scandal that not enough people are talking about. This is a money making operation - for for Trump, his family, his crypto pals, and the Trump-affiliated lobbyists and grifters who the pardon seekers pay.

An update on the fight over health insurance premiums:

Republicans have basically stopped negotiating. Trump is more focused on his ballroom than these cost hikes.

Later this month, Senate Democrats will force a vote on this - one last chance for GOP to do the right thing.

Pete Hegseth needs to resign or be fired. Now. He’s a walking, talking national security embarrassment.

The disastrous and illegal Venezuela strikes - and his refusal to accept responsibility - should be the last straw.

A while back, I switched to getting oat milk instead of whole milk in my lattes. I'm not lactose intolerant but I wanted to see if dairy was contributing to my acid reflux issues. It may or may not have, but now I like the taste of oat milk in my drinks better! It's creamier or something idk. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Despots weaponize their opponents' compassion against them. Trump wants to use people's pain as extortion to get Democrats to fund his corruption. I didn't want the shutdown, but Democrats would be suckers to knowingly vote for a budget that destroys our democracy.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.

That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.

Wow.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Hi from Roanoke, VA! 🙋‍♀️ Here for a work convention!

And go figure, two out of the four days I'm here are FREEZING! Like record-breaking cold for this area. It warms back up into the 60s right after we leave bc ofc. 🙄

But anyway, cool place! I love this historic hotel and the cool AF zodiac ceiling!

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?

He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

As people go onto the health care enrollment websites, and see that Trump has doubled their premium, the pressure on Republicans to fix this will mount. This isn't get easier for Republicans. It's getting harder.

The Tuesday election was a message to Democrats to keep fighting. People are scared at what Trump is doing to their lives and our democracy. And they desperately want the opposition party to stand up to him, not willingly get run over.
