NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade.

They departed Texas 5 days ago.

What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel.

There’s no denying it anymore: the pro-democracy movement is finally back on offense.

Trump’s presidency is an unmitigated disaster.

MAGA is imploding under the weight of its own lies, grifts, and failures.

They’re not strong—they’re desperate. They’re flailing. And they know it.

Looks like the Musk/Trump junta are specifically targeting non-American citizens who are legally permitted to be in the U.S. as a means to get back at their U.S. citizen dissenter spouses.

We can assume this will escalate.

The fact that the world’s richest man works at the behest of the executive and can buy out the legislature is massively outside the scope of what the framers could have imagined

there’s is simply no constitutional measure that can guard against something like this

I spent two summers in DC doing research in the Library of Congress &the National Archives, spending every free minute in its fantastic museums. I learned so much. Those summers were made possible by grants from American institutions.The anti-intellectual vandalism of the last weeks is hard to bear.

Both Canadians and Americans seem confused about where President Trump's idea to make Canada the 51st state came from.

"Never, ever heard him mention it," one former White House official says. "Ever. No clue where that is coming from."

Excuse me?
The FBI is trying to criminalize Habitat for Humanity for receiving climate grants from the EPA.

Yes, the nonprofit that builds houses for low-income people.

This clearly demonstrates just how absurd and extreme the Trump regime has become.
It's targeted harassment.

I really need for people to see that the whole cycle of the last few years-- the dangers of the left hysterically exaggerated ("cancel culture") in order to give cover to, sand the rough edges off, distract attention from, the advance of fascism --is a template, a script that's been run repeatedly.

Pick any case over the last century & a half where democracy crumbled into some form of autocracy. Chances are, the center-right played a crucial facilitating role, and the way they justified it is always, always through reference to some looming (largely fantastical) threat from the left.

Most people with power, outside and even inside democracies, would prefer autocracy (with them & their people in charge) over any further advance of egalitarian democracy. And as we're seeing, this includes many self-identified liberals.
