Red alert, red alert. Mitchell spells it out pretty clearly.
Trump lawyer Cleta Mitchell says Trump may try to declare a “national sovereignty” crisis in 2026 to claim “emergency powers” over elections and override the states

J.B. Pritzker is 100% right.

Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."

It's all a sham. They don't care about credibility or facts. They want a denial that Trump was involved and a list of Dems to accuse. That's it.

We must call the Florida Fascism Facility what it is: a concentration camp. This is accurate term makes clear how this regime is following the playbook, adapted from Jim Crow, of fascist regimes before it. It contests the anesthetizing fiction that "it couldn't happen here."

Q: "Have you uncovered any evidence that anything specific was signed without President Biden's knowledge?"

Trump: "I don't think Biden would know whether or not he signed it."

Q: "Have you uncovered anything?"

Trump: "No, but I've uncovered the human mind."

REPORTER: But we're seeing as a result that ports here in the US, the traffic has really slowed and now thousands of dockworkers are truck drivers are worried about their jobs

TRUMP: That means we lose less money ... when you say it slowed down, that's a good thing, not a bad thing

Why is this not a bigger story? Where is the defamation suit? Where is the impeachment resolution?
Is the consensus among mainstream journalists that the White House slandering a man they delivered into slavery using a crudely manipulated photo in the president’s grasp in the Oval Office is just not a very newsworthy event?

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.”

I don’t buy the narrative that Trump & President Musk actually WANT a shutdown. If that was the truth, they would’ve put forth an even worse bill that would 100% guarantee zero Dem votes.

What they did was propose a bill that green-lights DOGE & Elon’s billionaire takeover by omitting guardrails.

This is a false choice that is wrong.

If the GOP majority needs bipartisanship to keep the government open, they should negotiate a bipartisan bill, not this garbage that gives Elon Musk total control over government spending.

House Dems remain ready to pass a clean CR.

One thing that’s become absolutely clear:

The Trump administration isn’t isolationist. It meddles on behalf of authoritarians all over the world.

Or to put it another way:

The Trump administration isn’t America First. It’s Authoritarianism First.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

As folks talk about the path forward, one thing is clear: the people who mocked Democrats last year for raising real concerns about the devastating impact of Project 2025 should be ostracized from politics — permanently.

If you look at all the firings across the government over the last two weeks it's frequently been taken as a given that any black or woman official or officer is either a DEI hire or supports DEI and is summarily fired on that basis. Seems like the same model here.
Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.
