Once a democracy is lost it is very difficult to bring it back, if not impossible, because dictatorships do not lose elections and do not retire.

Why did Trump “order” bondi to release the grand jury info, which is the ONLY stuff that a judge has to approve, vs releasing all the other stuff that’s not grand jury, that they can release today?
How about all of it?

I have endured his scurrilous attacks for years. He has sued me for racketeering — and lost. He has unleashed his right-wing army of online trolls. Since his reelection, he has threatened me, defamed me and singled me out by name in two executive orders. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-t...

Few lawyers are willing to speak publicly about President Trump’s actions against law firms. Fear is rippling through Washington. But, despite being a target, Marc Elias is still talking. Scott Pelley sits down with him tonight on 60 Minutes.

Ukraine and Europe have rejected Trump's "final offer" for a peace deal stating Russia must be treated as the aggressor. Trump and Zelensky spoke at Pope Francis' funeral and had a positive discussion about peace talks.

Through all his troubles, neither the DOJ/FBI nor any state authorities ever subjected Donald Trump to arrest, preferring in every case to proceed by indictment and voluntary surrender. It’s notable that a sitting judge and pillar of the Milwaukee community was not extended the same courtesy.

It doesn't matter what the rest of the sentence says, the opening 10 words in themselves are the scandal:

What Trump did to Social Security absolutely equals benefit cuts
He put Musk in charge
Cut staff by 12%
And is closing offices
Now-the system is crashing
Recipients can’t access their accounts
And can’t even speak to anyone by phone-or in person
It’s unconscionable to treat seniors like this

How many Signal chats with sensitive information about military operations are ongoing within the Pentagon right now? Where else are war plans being shared with such abject disregard for our national security?

WHOA. On March 15, a Cornell PhD student with UK and Gambian citizenship, here on a student visa, filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn Trump's EO aimed at foreign students accused of "antisemitism.
Last night, the DOJ emailed asking him to come to ICE to be detained and put into removal proceedings.
