(📢) What Trump did today was not a SHOULD impeach, it was a MUST impeach.
He said anyone who challenges his authority—an authority he doesn’t have—to give illegal orders to the military must be executed.
That is a prima facie case for impeachment.
Articles should be drawn up.

We are headed toward martial law and the end of our democracy and I will never forgive the people in power who every step of the way told us it was all just fine and everything would work out swell as long as we kept pretending that nothing we have actually seen with our own two eyes was happening

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Man alive. The contrast between the courage of voters and the absolute cowardice of Democratic leadership is just undeniable and the story of the moment.
The question is which will win out in the end and that question just got a whole lot louder.

If anyone needed another reminder of how deeply unpopular the Trump-MAGA Republican agenda is, tonight was the night.
But we cannot relent and we cannot become complacent.
The midterms are right around the corner.

SNAP is corporate welfare.
An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

The GOP is using the shutdown to literally make people choose between starving and losing their healthcare. That’s how sadistic this is and what the age of fascism is going to look like unless we defeat it.

SNAP exists because politicians take campaign contributions from large corporations in exchange for letting those corporations pay a poverty wage so low that it must be subsidized with taxpayer money, paid by middle class workers barely getting by—all so 700 billionaires can have a few extra billion

Anytime you ask “why did the Times cover it this way?” or whatever corporate media it is, remember that influential moderates are the tool of the wealth class and are there to normalize whatever the wealthy want and create doubt regarding reform and change.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

It’s probably a good time for people to wrap their heads around a near total monopoly of news and media by either overt fascists or fascist-friendly accomplices.
This isn’t doomerism, it’s preparing for how reality will be warped and weaponized and understanding the fight we have in front of us.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Not only should the Dems refuse to cave on the shutdown; they should announce they won’t vote for a budget until: (a) the military is withdrawn from every American city where it’s been deployed; (b) the budget forbids the use of any funds for that purpose; AND (c) the healthcare demand already made.

Whatever else you think of him, I don't think he is insincere about this stuff, and it should be recognized as extraordinary that he, Pritzker, and other governors are talking about the federal government in these terms. It's not normal political rhetoric, it's the language of existential emergency.

Standing against fascism is now domestic terrorism—by presidential decree.
Anyone committed to fighting fascism can now be deemed an enemy of the state, arrested, and held—possibly without full due process—on the claim that they're a "terrorist."
Just like that, we lost America.

It's easy to scoff at Trump designating as a "terrorist organization" something that's not an *organization* at all.
I have different view.
When you declare an idea rather than an organization to be terrorism, you can declare *anyone* a terrorist.
And that is what he will do.
This is horrifying.
