Pundits are - in vain - looking to economics and politics when trying to explain Trump's behavior.
But, in reality, the central place to look if we want to understand Trump and his policies is this:
The psychology of dominance.

“The DEMS don’t have a majority or any branch of government so they can’t do anything.”
THEY COULD ORGANIZE THE MASSES AGAINST FASCISM. TAKE TO THE STREETS. DO PRESS CONFERENCES ON THE DAILY! HAVE A CONCERT TO RAISE MONEY FOR VETERANS. START PREPARING US FOR MARTIAL LAW!
DO NOT WASTE TIME ON THEM!

Democratic House Rep. Jason Crow:
"This isn't just a singular mistake that the administration still hasn't admitted that it needs to fix. This is part of a larger pattern of disregard, of impunity, of not taking its job seriously in our most sensitive national security life and death decisions."

Trump just signed an exec order purporting to require a passport (or a few other docs) to register to vote. The president doesn't have the power to override a law passed by Congress. This is the SAVE Act but much worse. It is an illegal power grab that would block tens of millions from voting.

If you don't know, using Signal is NOT OK. That is 💯 shady.

THREAD: Key questions today for every reporter and Congressman looking into #Signalgate:
1. How can anyone (aka Trump) trust Mike Waltz going forward since he's so dumb as to add a reporter to such a highly secretive group chat?

Talk of firing or resigning is one thing. But if they were regular employees, they would face investigation & prosecution. No reason their principals, people who hold security clearances, shouldn’t. Or is the legacy of the “but her emails” guy going to be nat’l security no longer matters?

I'm glad to have you on the right side of history. I'd stand beside you, Susan.
Yes, this is me. As you can tell, I was not having it! I refuse to be a nice old lady(or granny, they call me). We must do everything we can to stand up!

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

If you ever worked for a federal agency that DOGE has on the chopping block, especially the lesser known ones, please tell us about the work they do on behalf of the American people. We need to understand what is being lost.

I started last week. Great opp to change some lazy ass habits I've allowed for too long. Uninstalled apps, too. It's quite liberating.
TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY!
If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK!
Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore.
JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺
