The Trump regime will arrest you in the middle of the night because you spoke your mind.
And federal agents in plain clothes who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it.

I’m struck by how close we’re getting to finally curing some of the world’s worst diseases—sickle cell, Alzheimers, pancreatic cancer, etc.—at the same time that the world’s worst people are destroying medical research and care around the world.

The grimmest realization is not the very old one that Trump is a hyper-sensitive narcissist who thinks criticizing him should be illegal.
The grimmest realization is that a substantial number of Americans are born serfs, best suited for a monarchy, who thinks that’s manly and admirable and right.

Trump at the DOJ: "I believe that CNN and MSNDC, who literally write 97.6% bad about me, are political arms of the Democrat Party. And in my opinion, they are really corrupt and they are illegal. What they do is illegal."

Menacing the free press during a speech at the Department of Justice at which the AG proclaims her fealty. Open authoritarianism.

Trump and Musk are dropping nuclear bombs on the administrative state, and the Democrats show up with water balloons — and are too afraid to throw even those.
UPDATE: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-NY, said he plans to vote for a Republican bill to fund the government through September, paving the way for other Democrats to join him.

If the Senate Democrats do this, yes, it’s a massive betrayal of their base and an unconscionable abdication of their duty.
Every single one of them who’s complicit in this scheme needs to be driven out of politics forever.

The word for what Senate Democrats are doing right now is "betrayal." Not only are they voluntarily surrendering the only leverage they have, the leverage they have spent months promising to use against Trump, they're doing it while lying and pretending they want the opposite.

Schumer's logic here also dictates getting rolled on the debt ceiling and on next year's budget. I think he's got to go
Schumer: "For sure, the Republican bill is a terrible option. It is not a clean CR. It is deeply partisan. It doesn't address far too many of this country's needs. But I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option."

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.
