We live in a country where the government honors insurrectionists who sacked the Capitol, and defines peaceful protest, even before it occurs, to be terrorism.
They know their position is weak, they know they are unpopular, which is why they are seeking to stamp out dissent.
Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Trump at Charlie Kirk's memorial service:

"He did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That's where I disagreed with Charlie. I HATE my opponents."

A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment.

Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.

Most striking thing about this clip is not Trump floating the idea of being a dictator (again) and claiming some want that.

The most striking thing is his sneering dismissal of the counter argument "freedom."

Only modern US president to explicitly oppose freedom. Should be the basis of opposition.
Trump: "A lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator."

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

this is obviously a lie, but fwiw if it were true you wouldn’t actually save very much money this way, because medical spend is heavily skewed towards the young and the old

Many, if not most, of his followers believe his "Executive Orders" have the force of law, and are actually "laws." False, of course, but this is what happens when civic education is ignored in schools and autocrats take advantage of ignorance.
New in PN: Trump demands states obey law he just announced via tweet

"Nowhere is Trump's legal fantasizing more bizarre than in the context of civil rights, where he's concocted new theories of gender and race discrimination and commands all of us to treat them as if they are real."
