Via @brianstelter.bsky.social. This is an example of what I've been trying to explain for the past decade: a dangerous demagogue like Trump is an "unaccountable leader," someone who uses rhetorical tricks to avoid being held accountable. Ask him a question and he calls you "an evil person."

Loyalty purges are the opposite of doing justice
Pam Bondi just fired more than 20 Justice Dept. employees who worked on Jan. 6 cases and Trump's handling of classified documents.
The firings are part of a massive purge aimed at clearing DOJ of attorneys and staff who took part in Jack Smith's prosecution of Trump. www.axios.com/2025/07/12/p...

Silence is compliance.

Every Republican who goes on the Sunday shows tomorrow should be pressed to denounce this illegal and authoritarian proclamation from the president. And none of this "I didn't read the tweet" bullshit.

The time has come for the judiciary to scrap the presumption of regularity. It is yet another outdated norm that we can no longer afford. Those fighting to preserve democracy already face a daunting task without judges reflexively giving Trump the benefit of the doubt.

Would like some thoughts on this from physicians on here.
Look at the way Trump moves his legs—like he’s having circulatory problems. And note the massive bruise we saw this week on the back of his hand.
Is he on blood thinners? If so, did he have a stroke at some point?
