Direct attack on the first amendment. So much dir wanting to uphold the Constitution!
The Trump administration is getting desperate enough to try criminalizing loud noise. A federal judge in Oregon has issued an order blocking the administration from enforcing a new rule that would make “loud or unusual noise” near federal buildings a criminal offense.

Abortion bans are in fact a hallmark of authoritarian governments, as I reminded one Ezra Klein
The Democratic Party should not embrace anti-abortion candidates in order to win elections and halt the country’s authoritarian drift—we have abortion bans BECAUSE of the authoritarian drift.

Red or Blue, corruption is corruption.

Dem Leadership must be willing to finally take a stand for women & against corruption.

If they can't, each and every one of them must be replaced with leaders who actually represent the working people of America - not billionaire elites or foreign despots

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

Trump also just posted these photos to Truth Social, including the one with Mamdani standing next to a portrait of FDR. Trump mentioned Mamdani asked if he could have his picture taken there.

"It's an amazing portrait in the cabinet room," Trump said. "So he's a big fan of the New Deal, I guess..."

They broke the ribs of a 67-year-old man at a kids Halloween parade in Chicago. Kristi Noem followed it up by promising to send ICE "full force" after trick-or-treaters.

Sending men in military gear into Chicago neighborhoods with guns drawn while children go door to door for candy? Beyond evil.

Short version:

Trump: I'm dismantling the Constitution, building a paramilitary fascist army loyal only to me, blowing up the US economy for my billionaire cronies, and destroying the planet.

Schumer: Okay, but you have to extend subsidies for corporate health care
