Republicans show no signs of checking Trump’s corruption, much less impeaching him. They are active participants in paying for access & influence in an authoritarian personality cult ruled by a strongman.
Democrats will be unable to hold Trump accountable unless they regain power.
Grim situation.

“Pay-to-play” via campaign donations is OG (legalized) corruption.
Trump is the first president to formalize emolumental corruption with “stay-to-sway” at hotels, “play to sway” at golf courses, & “party-to-play” at his club.
As @nytimes.com reported, Trump direct influence-peddling is unrivaled:

Did this guy say he thought things would get BETTER with the fascist in office? Did he vote for the fascist? If so, this is the leopard eating his face.
And coercing people to give this regime permission to read all your emails is VILE.

A New Hampshire real estate attorney & American citizen returning home from Canada was detained at the border without an explanation & "treated like a criminal.”
First they came for the immigrants…

“The [Fascists] are coming!”
Today is April 18, 2025.
Hear from JCB Director Karin Wulf about this day in history (specifically April 18, 1775!)) and one curious manuscript that is part of the Library's collection.

Dream…
Having converted the majority of short car trips in their cities to the more scale-appropriate bicycle, the Dutch are now looking further afield to tackle traffic congestion. The next frontier of infrastructure in the Netherlands is a national network of doorfietsroutes or “nonstop cycling routes”.🧵

Thank you Judge Boasberg!
It’s critical now, more than ever, that ALL Federal Judges & Supreme Court Justices uphold & enforce the two ‘Oaths of Office’ they take when being sworn into their Judgeships.
Currently, it’s extremely difficult, no doubt, but the American people are counting on it!👨⚖️👩⚖️🧑⚖️👨⚖️

Staggering truth from a sitting Republican senator.

NEW: Republican Lisa Murkowski says she's afraid of Donald Trump: "We are all afraid. It's quite a statement. But we are in a time and place where I certainly have not been here before. I'm oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice because retaliation is real. And that's not right."

Sen Van Hollen met with El Salvador's Vice President Félix Ulloa, who told him that the reason they are holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia at CECOT is because the Trump admin is paying them to do so.
They also provided no evidence that Abrego Garcia is part of MS-13 or committed any crimes.
