The federal criminal justice system is being systematically dismantled and destroyed piece by piece and turned into a mob boss’s network of corrupt consiglieres and thugs, where good people simply doing their jobs are rooted out and eradicated.

This morning I warned that Donald Trump is slowly turning Jan. into a patriotic day of celebration. We can't let that happen.

Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border.
This is how the police dealt with them.
Literally beat the hell out of them.
This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.

Synder and his wife moved before the election happened and he's openly stated he would not have come back even if Harris had won, due to the opportunities they were offered in Toronto. We don't need to sink to MAGAs level of misinformation to meet this moment.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers.
That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

Many have speculated about Trump's involvement with Epstein, as the two were once very close and there are a trove of videos and photos of the two of them partying together - and the fact Trump has not released the Epstein files has furthered this speculation 🤔

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

ICYMI yesterday - I wrote about the MAGA government siding with the German Neo-Nazi Party. They share the same enemy: liberal democracy. What a moment in U.S. history.
If democracy is to prevail, America needs to establish a robust anti-fascist consensus.

You are siding with the German Neo-Nazis? That makes you the bad guys.
In a society that cannot hold even that basic line, democracy stands little chance.
