History teaches us that the way to stand up to a dictator is to fight back against him, not capitulate to him.
Surrendering to tyranny invites more of it.
This moment we're in should not be met with a "moderate" response.
Luckily, some Democrats starting to understand this.

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.”

Srsly, WTAF?
I don't use "impeachment" lightly. Aside from Trump, Marco Rubio **PIPED UP** to endorse flouting a court order, and said the only person who can make foreign policy is the president, which is incorrect in more ways than he can count. High crimes, dereliction of duty, constitutionally illiterate.
Absolutely not an exaggeration. High crimes and misdemeanors committed and endorsed in the Oval Office on live television.

Thank you Dr. Garber. I hope Harvard's rejection of the administration's illegal and immoral attempt to interfere with your university serves as a beacon of strength and hope for institutions of all kinds to resist.

Neguse demolishes Arrington's hypocrisy: "When the stock market dropped 1k points years ago, you rushed to bemoan Biden's actions. You condemned it. Now the market drops 1k points every day for the last week and you claim it's the economy running well. Do you understand why that's a tough argument?"

Smartest explanation of Trump‘s psyche I’ve seen in a long time.
Smart point: The tariffs would be a good idea if they were completely different and Trump did not act the way he has acted every day of his life.
