As Trump Regime Readies a Military Invasion of Minnesota, New Evidence Confirms Renee Good Was Executed
This update on the situation in Minnesota holds at least a dozen revelations about what’s happening there that—individually—would each qualify as a sign of the imminent collapse of American democracy.

I recently heard historian Robert Kagan say: “What's at risk right now is literally our democracy in the sense that I don't think Trump is going to allow free and fair elections in 2026.”
My job is to fight in court to prove him wrong even while I fear he may be right.

The Civil Rights Division is going to charge a Black Man under the Ku Klux Klan Act on MLK day.

Popok: I’ve read that Governor Walz has, of course, given orders regarding the National Guard. Are we going to have the National Guard versus federal troops on the streets of Minneapolis?
Ellison: I sure hope not.

I spent part of today sorting out what is going on with the Epstein Files. Why the delay? Why have the rolling productions stopped. And, what might a recent filing by Ghislaine Maxwell have to do with it.👀

“The American-dominated liberal world order is over. The United States has decided it no longer wishes to play its role of providing global security. The American might that upheld the world order of the past 80 years will now be used to destroy it.”

America vs. the World
President Trump wants to return to the 19th century’s international order. He will leave America less prosperous—and the whole world less secure.

"When it comes time to produce something vaguely resembling a policy blueprint, Trump steps aside & the right-wing ideologues who surround him take over. His only job is to record a brief video, try to stay awake through a White House event on the subject, & then go back to not talking about it."
Trump's long-awaited healthcare "plan" is a joke
He can barely bring himself to pretend he cares.

Liberal democracy is under attack at home and the liberal world order is under assault abroad. And the Republican Party is collaborating, and our elites are acquiescing.

Reading about Davos awakens my inner social democrat. A bunch of cosseted and blinkered elites engaging in pompous chit-chat is annoying enough. But at least once upon a time they mostly understood they do a little bit to help defend liberal democracy.

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

Never forget that billionaires spend billions to convince you that voting doesn't matter. Don't help them. Voting isn't the ONLY thing we can do, but it is the most powerful check on the executive. "Don't bother voting because there'll be no free elections" is oligarch propaganda.

I always thought MLK’s ‘Mountaintop’ speech was his best, which was given the day before he was killed. It is especially relevant given what is happening now in MN and elsewhere. He was getting many serious threats, which he references in his line “I may not get there with you.”

In an interview, Trump insisted “we shouldn’t even have an election,” since he accomplished so much during his presidency.
The president also touched on the possibility of losing this year’s midterms — remarks that indicate he views the election as an obstacle.
