"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

I can still recall all the tut-tutting from the media when Harris made this argument.
Kamala Harris at her closing campaign rally:
"Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

![Screenshot of a list of the 27 specific grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 16 of them in whole or in part, highlighted in yellow and listed below:
"1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
3. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither [Partial]
4. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
5. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
6. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
7. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
8. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
9. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
10. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
11. For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
12. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
13. [Partial], abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
14. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
15. [Partial], and destroyed the lives of our people.
16. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us [Partial]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:b3psimnw5xxta2n4h5qzxu55/bafkreifschk5h5rhi7ezooza77xgc5hzxi62up3eoqqift5btkt7kui4li@jpeg)

Pres. Obama: "I don't think what we just witnessed in terms … tariffs is going to be good for America, but that's a specific policy. I'm more deeply concerned with a federal government that threatens universities if they don't give up students who are exercising their right to free speech."

I really don't understand why pundits don't understand this.
MANY of you have better platforms than any Democrat this side of AOC.
If you spend all your time whining (some more) about Democrats, then you are being just as feckless, you are giving the GOP just as much of a pass, as the Dems are.

This is genuinely an important article. The two main lessons from Hungary appear to be:
DO NOT WAIT
DO NOT UNDERREACT
Authoritarians like Orban and Trump rely on opposition being unwilling to believe that what is happening is actually happening. That’s their window.
