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

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."

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.

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.

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.
