We're watching an incredibly rapid state collapse--faster than pretty much any except those involving tanks in the streets--in real time. I say this as a person who's been in places with tanks in the streets. And as one who reads enough to know that the first lie of fascism is inevitability.

It’s long, fully sourced, includes reams of hard data—among much else, on anticipated casualties—and takes into account the best intel we now have on Trump, Musk, and their political plans. I hope you’ll share this widely.

Trump and Vance — elected by MAGA voters, and supported by spineless Republican members of Congress — are both shamelessly subservient to their Kremlin master.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass

If you're still posting on X or, worse, giving Elon Musk money for a blue check, today would be a good day to stop.

Would you provide content to Joseph Goebbels' propaganda outlet or subscribe to it in 1933?

Sen. Warnock: 'We gotta have a handful of Republicans who understand that they work for the people of America and not for someone who wants to be a king. That's the moral decision for my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. I pray to God that they find the backbone to make the right decision.'

NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs.

Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."
SUBJECT: Temporary Pause of Agency Grant, Loan, and Other Financial Assistance Programs 'The American people elected Donald J. Trump to be President of the United States and gave him a mandate to increase the impact of every federal taxpayer dollar. In Fiscal Year 2024. of the nearly $10 trillion that the Federal Government spent, more than $3 trillion was Federal financial assistance, such as grants and loans. Career and political appointees in the Executive Branch have a duty to align Federal spending and action with the will of the American people as expressed through Presidential priorities.

There is only one reason Trump pulled the security off Pompeo and Bolton…to put them in danger for “crossing him.” To send a message to anyone else who would oppose.

Both have active death threats from Iran.

All to intimidate.

This is the opposite of a real man of God. This is evil

Hegspeth is confirmed. Now What? He has no idea how to manage the Pentagon. So he is going to be dependent on his direct reports. Most of which require confirmation.

The Dems have to use whatever political skills they have to get qualified, rational people in these positions ?
