Trump is going to use DOJ/FBI to try to steal the 2026 election. My legal team and I will fight back in court but we all have a role to play.

Tomorrow, I will offer my thoughts on what Trump is up to and what we need to do now. Subscribe to Democracy Docket for free to find out. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

In the wake of George Floyd, Republicans passed legislation allowing drivers to run over pedestrians for "driver safety."

Now as a driver attempted to drive Away from ICE fascists, Republicans support ICE killing the driver because "a vehicle is a weapon."

The hypocrisy & cruelty is the point.

Trump's CBP chief is a fabulist psychopath who openly takes pleasure in brutal acts of violence against civilians and freely lies under oath about the atrocities he commits and orchestrates.

Meanwhile the President just yesterday said an assassinated journalist deserved it and celebrated his killer
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

The dictator granted a friendly interview to the compromised media organization that bribed him. They edited out his most incendiary comments and presented a sanitized version of the dear leader to sell him to a nation wildly disapproving of his abuse of the rule of law.

The director of foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute: "Their words should leave no doubt in anyone’s mind that the civilian leadership intends to use the threat and actuality of violence to infringe on Americans’ constitutional rights."
Kori Schake: “Yesterday morning, Trump and Hegseth behaved reprehensibly. Their speeches…were tantamount to incitement—a genuinely dangerous effort to suborn the military’s oath and condition them for using violence against their fellow Americans.” foreignpolicy.com/2025/10/01/t...

Never has a group developed so complete a hearing problem as Republicans confronted with actual words that Trump has said over the last decade.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'?

JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said.

Low on the overall scale of misfortunes, but a painting of mine was stolen right out of the big display window of a gallery in Winnipeg - although art theft, the Winnipeg police said, is “unheard of” in Wpg. Hoping the publicity may lead to her return.

The US desperately needs more doctors, engineers & highly educated workers. But we’re telling students that if they want a higher education, they have to go into debt.

Other countries understand how important it is to invest in their young people. We should be doing the same.
