Brazil succeeded in holding coup plotters accountable. "If — when the glass has been swept away & the trials are over — those who empowered, guided, mobilized, and legitimized [the riots] are never held to account, then... the conditions for repetition remain intact.” jacobin.com/2026/01/janu...

That's a lot, really. And yet we managed it.
So, all it took to destroy the government was a complicit SCOTUS, a feckless and spineless Congress, and a felon.

One of the actual leaders of the free world. Remember when we used to call the U.S. president that?
"Attacking countries, in flagrant violation of international law, is the first step toward a world of violence, chaos, and instability, where the law of the strongest prevails over multilateralism."

Of course they don't care what most Americans think!
But the only ones they care about serving is really themselves. As soon as they can no longer use him to do that they will drop him like the hot turd he is.

I honestly think these insane people don’t care what 94% of Americans think. Trump is a madman and these sycophants only care about serving him.
One of the most lopsided results you'll ever see in a poll, from our weekend Washington Post poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

Instead of using AI to help working class people get ahead, tech billionaires are using it as a ploy to just get richer.

Jared Kushner has somehow found a place at Coalition of the Willing press conference with Scholz, Zelensky, Macron, Starmer and Witkoff.
Kushner has no official position in the US government.

Oh my gosh, Florida just gotten even more embarrassing. I didn't really think it possible, but there it is.
This is what state-regime media looks like.
CBS News ran a segment gushing over Rubio — calling this his “moment" and saying: “Florida, once an American punchline, has become a leader on the world stage. Marco Rubio, we salute you! You are the ultimate Florida Man!”

January 6, 2021 was the most shameful day in American history. It should live in infamy, as should the traitor who refused to accept the election results and incited the attack on the U.S. Capitol — Donald J. Trump.

Trump’s pardoning of more than 1,500 January 6th rioters was the largest pardon of violent criminal offenders in our history.
Trump himself hasn’t been held accountable either — I’m still fighting in the courts with other Members for justice.
