It’s taken less than a year of Trump being in office for Republicans to embrace being openly racist as policy and as a party.
Fine: "I'm talking to my colleagues about whether we want these fake Somali refugees - who come to our country, add no value, suck our resources, defraud our govt - whether we actually want them here. I don't think Ilhan Omar shouldn't be a member of Congress - I think she shouldn't be an American"

Mitt Romney said the quiet part out loud: the rich should pay more in taxes.
The Wall Street Journal attacked him for it.
But he’s right—and ignoring the math is how democracies crack.

Unbelievable

Pam Bondi did it again

Another batch of the Epstein files was released-in which Trump was featured prominently-but the Department of Justice promptly took them down a few hours later

Sure looks like Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie have enough evidence to hold her in contempt

When the president says “national security” he gets additional powers

And when the president says “emergency” he gets additional powers

And when the president says “terrorists” he gets additional powers

Requires presidents who do so rarely, in good faith, only when circumstances make it necessary
The White House is now citing "national security" for everything it does. Seriously, check out these headlines. It's just the last few weeks.

If you know authoritarian history, then you know how menacing this is.

Lawrence O’Donnell’s MSNOW show has 2 Epstein survivors blasting DOJ for failing to properly redact names, leaving some survivors‘ identities newly revealed. They suspect DOJ’s top priority is to protect other people — not the survivors. “We’re being re-traumatized by our government.”
