It’s the narcissist’s playbook.

1. Do something bad/stupid

2. Blame someone else (“They (or you) did this/made me do this!”)

3. Loudly claim (usually falsely) to have fixed the problem

4. Take credit for 3 (but never blame for 1) and say “Look what I did for you! You should be grateful!”
So “emergency.” Much “national security.”

"The new pope, like the old pope, does not support MAGA’s christofascist nationalism. MAGA, confronted with the fact that they do not control everything or everyone, responded in their usual fashion — by wailing and gnashing their teeth." — @nberlat.bsky.social
The new pope is latest sign that the world rejects Trumpism
From Vatican City to Canada, Trump increasingly represents everything people of goodwill oppose.

REPORTER: What do you say to people who view that luxury jet as a personal gift to you?

TRUMP: You're ABC fake news, right? Let me tell you -- you should be embarrassed asking that question. They're giving us a free jet ... when they give you a putt, you pick it up and you walk to the next hole

Next time, ask him whether he has spoken to Laura Loomer about her tweet agreeing that taking the jet is a bad idea ….

There really seems to be little hope left for America.

Shout out to every American struggling with how they plan to survive this fascist kleptocracy.

What stage of "fight, flight, or freeze" are you at right now?

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

As we start another week, my law firm is litigating 46 voting and election cases in 19 states. A team starts trial to protect the Voting Rights Act in Alabama tomorrow!

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of democracy and democracy is on the docket.

Makes watergate look like checkers
Chris Murphy: "I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes ... he's trying to crush his opposition ... this is a red alert moment ... our democracy is at risk"

About the presidency, Harry Truman famously said “the buck stops here.” Trump is trying to pass the buck and blame everybody but his administration for the DC plane crash. This is a time for consoling the families and investigating the cause of this tragedy, not shameful finger pointing.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

"Donald Trump's administration is lying to you."

Gov. J.B. Pritzker slammed the White House for saying the freeze wouldn’t affect Head Start and Medicaid.

This is how we do it. Call out Trump’s lies to the camera, bold, strong action. Hold him accountable, every single time.

I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 to expose GOP attacks on democracy. With Trump in office again, it has expanded to meet the moment.

Democracy Docket is fearlessly independent and unapologetically prodemocracy. It will not back down. It will never obey. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

Your new favorite word should be "no."

Get familiar with it.

Start using it in everyday conversation.

Become comfortable using it as a first response.

Be confident and quick in drawing a line.

We are about to need a lot of collective "no" in the next few years.
