Gov. Gavin Newsom is conducting an extraordinary press conference on the federal judge's ruling against the fascist authoritarian Trump regime ordering the National Guard to Los Angeles, California and the only cable news station carrying it live is MSNBC. Shame on CNN!

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody."
But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies.
Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

When a president "doesn't know" if he has to follow the constitution, how do you not immediately bring up the fact that he took an oath to do exactly that?
A real journalist would do that.
A conspiratorial fluffer would move right along and pretend everything was normal.

ANTI-COUP ACTION STEP #1:
All living former Presidents & VPs — both Dem & GOP: Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden, Gore, Cheney, Pence & Harris — must hold a press conference saying that while they disagree on policy, all agree that Donald Trump is a danger to the republic.
America needs you. Pass it on.

Trump is dismantling democracy right in front of us. He operates on the principle that people will think that if he does it openly and in public, there can't be anything wrong with it. Do not be deceived.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP
Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.
They make sure we have clean water.
They protect us from financial fraud.
They provide healthcare to our communities.
They make our government actually work for people.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted.
Yet somehow Musk isn't.

I have worked on civil wars and state capture for 25 years.
So let me be REALLY clear about this for Americans:
Your courts are only as useful as the willingness of politicians to comply with those judgments.
And the willingness of police to enforce.
And Musk, Trump & Co do NOT care about the law

USAID is a criminal organization,” Mr. Musk wrote on Sunday in a social media post that many aid workers saw as confirmation the agency would soon be absorbed into the State Department and that some viewed as a potential threat to their personal safety. “Time for it to die.”

"Everything in the world is gonna change on January 20" -- Tim Miller on his pod today flagged this clip of Stephen Miller outlining Trump's hardline immigration policies, including using the military for deportations. It's a sobering watch.
