Keep an eye on Coeur D Alene Idaho and the actions after a town hall with their GOP congressmen went sideways. The county sheriff directed plain clothes men to assault a woman...on video. He's now denying he knew anything. City PD chief is not buying it.

His thinly veiled contempt for a successful woman leader who would dare to stand up to him is so evident in this clip. I love it.
Thank you, Janet Mills.
This is how all our elected officials everywhere should be confronting Trump's authoritarian "we are the law" sentiment. Head on.

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here?
JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here
TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply?
JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law
T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

This veteran feels the same. There are more veterans like it's than MAGA will let themselves believe.
As a veteran, I would just like to ask MAGAs (especially those who never served their country) to stop using my military service as excuse to justify your hate.
I didn't serve to deny people their rights. I served to protect them. Speak for yourself, but don't speak for me.

Biden pardoned his son? So what? Trump pardoned his son-in-law's father after his conviction of "loathsome and disgusting crimes" according to prosecutor Chris Christie and now Trump is going to nominate him as ambassador to France after being one of the largest donors to Trump's PAC.

When I think about Joe & Mika appeasing Trump so they can maintain their comfy lives, I think about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss enduring years of harassment for simply doing their jobs.
So when Joe defends it by saying people need to live in the real world, he should respectfully go screw himself.

Remember: fascism thrives on apathy.

Don’t give them want they want.
Stay in this fight. Remain vigilant. And let’s keep building.

The opposition needs to be loud and make a scene. We are a big country with big ideas, and there are more people on our side of the issues than there are of them. @amandacarpenter.bsky.social joins Tim for the weekend Bulwark Pod:
Amanda Carpenter: Lessons from the Tea Party Era
Ted Cruz and Jim DeMint ground things to a halt in the Senate quite effectively during the Obama era, and Democrats should take a cue from them for Trump's appointments: Demand hearings or hold their own.

No one is walking away unscathed from another Trump presidency. Not even most of his supporters. They just don't know it yet.
We can choose this moment to regroup, unite and fight back or we can choose to become ghosts, cower in fear, mourn our broken hopes and dreams for America.
