Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Just as our rally began, 2 bald eagles began circling overhead. A pretty awesome omen in our little, rural Iowa town!

Here’s the thing. We still have the power (probably) to say that this image must not be what America is. We still have the power to say “fuck no, we refuse to allow this to be what the streets of America look like.” Attend a “No Kings” rally this Saturday. And then vote in 2026.

If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.

Look at this video. Take a long, hard look at this scene. Masked federal agents, armed like soldiers on a battlefield, a dozen of em, taking down & detaining one immigrant. On our streets. Take a long, hard look at this. And then pass it on to others. This is Trumpism. This must not be who we are.👇
A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towards…despotism.
Does anyone think they’re doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?

Conversation with Paul Krugman appeared just a little while ago. We discuss the war in Ukraine, and the appalling state of military analysis, the power of groupthink, etc. We also delve into my new book, War and Power. Enjoy.

Since maga actually means let's turn America into Hungary or Russia, let's show that real Americans love our country, our democracy and our Constitution!
Those things define who we are, not a demented, malignant narcissist, cult leader.

He has kept among us in times of peace Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

The Trump team is out there trying to normalize an utterly immoral sellout of UKR
Matt Whitaker, US ambassador to NATO, on a Ukraine land swap:
"in other contexts...to get a line that both sides can agree to, certain strategic pieces that benefit either side are exchanged [to] make sure that they can both defend their territory."
Both? What territory does Russia need to defend?
