We knew what a Trump win would mean: unqualified appointees, disregard for democratic guardrails, and a completely chaotic transition. That's exactly what we got. Watch @TheRickWilson @MayaOnstage on the latest episode of The Breakdown here: www.youtube.com/live/5Q258ia...

Trump says he wants to deport even the children of undocumented immigrants (who are here legally).
Trump: I don't want to break up the family, so the only way you don't break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them all back.

Everyone should know about what's happening in North Carolina. Republicans are using Trump's playbook to try to overturn an election. I wrote about it last week:

Trump just upped the ante for people who didn't want him to win but have decided they can sit on the sidelines & ignore what's going on because it won't affect their lives. That's naive-inevitably it will & here's a concrete example in the making.

Bring It On, Donald: The January 6 Committee Stands on Truth
Donald Trump’s latest threat to “jail” members of the January 6 Committee is nothing more than the desperate howl of a man who knows history will regard him with shame.

Obviously people like Cheney, Kinzinger, Thompson, Schiff, and the witnesses committed no crimes and should be offered safe harbor by preemptive pardons that President Biden has full power to give and that they may accept without admitting they committed any offense when they in fact committed none.
Trump: “Cheney...Bennie Thompson, and everybody on that committee...should go to jail.”
Q: “So you think Liz Cheney should go to jail? Everyone on the committee, you think, should be in jail?”
Trump: “I think everybody...Anybody who voted in favor.”

The premise of Trump’s pardon pledge is striking for how divorced it is from what’s actually happening with J6 defendants.
Very few are incarcerated in DC jail — and the ones in jail for “years” are almost all convicted of serious felonies (which Trump says he may not pardon).

Donald Trump is trying to bring back the ANTIFA conspiracy theory about J6.
"Those people have suffered long and hard. And there may be some exceptions to it. I have to look. But, you know, if somebody was radical, crazy. There might be some people from Antifa there."
