Whether this was an honest mistake or a regrettable decision, it is the result of treating fascists like a normal political opposition party instead of as the Nazis they are.
If you truly believe they're evil (they are), then you're nowhere near the Oval Office under any circumstances.

Elon Musk has committed a blatant felony by offering money for votes in order to help Brad Schimel. This is a chainsaw attack on democracy and the rule of law. Musk should be brought to justice immediately. 🧵

They're defying court orders and carrying out mass deportations.
Nayib Bukele just said that 238 people he claimed were members of TdA arrived in El Salvador TODAY.
This may mean that DHS did NOT adhere to Judge Boasberg's order that planes in the air be turned back. If so, it would be--by far--the biggest act of defiance against a judge's order.

Every single Democratic senator voted to confirm Rubio. Some like Tina Smith, in her interview with me, now say they got it wrong and regret it. They all should say it.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

In most states, eugenics-era laws still let doctors sterilize disabled patients—even against their will.
