My contribution to the authoritarianism discourse: we're already way too far down the road, and lots of institutions that could've stopped this chose not to (SCOTUS, R Senators) but consolidation is way easier when Dear Leader is improving the quality of life, and Trump is doing the opposite.
The mood in the country is dour. There is persistent inflation, AI is challenging traditional forms of understanding, housing is expensive, and instead of tackling any of these issues, the president is trying to become a dictator fueled by imaginary grievances. He's unpopular for a reason 2/x

I suppose it beats her usual “extremely concerned.” Just so pathetic.
You're not going to believe this but Susan Collins is "extremely alarmed"

The chorus is growing louder. Call your Senators and Rep and demand they #FireKennedy.
Secretary Kennedy’s complete disregard for facts and basic science have disqualified him from leading the nation’s health agency.
Secretary Kennedy is clearly unfit for the job, and he must resign immediately. My full statement:

Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his historic I Have A Dream speech at the March on Washington 62 years ago today.
Today and every day, we honor him and all those who demanded an end to racial segregation when they marched all those years ago. Our fight is far from over and we're not slowing down.

I wish Donald Trump cared about protecting children in schools as much as he cares about protecting a piece of cloth with stars and stripes on it.

The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly barring states and organizations that receive government funds from helping undocumented immigrants.
This will make it harder for the most vulnerable people to get help in the aftermath of disasters.
It was always about cruelty.

Someone tell DOGE a way that the gov't could have been more efficient, by not building a stunt concentration camp...
So....
1)The state of Florida spent >$200 million to build the facility it calls "Alligator Alcatraz"
2) It opened in early July, christened by Trump.
3) Now it is closing, due to a judge's order.
4) It will cost $20 million to dismantle the center, which was used for about 2 months.

I’ve been briefed on a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School and will continue to provide updates as we get more information. The BCA and State Patrol are on scene.
I’m praying for our kids and teachers whose first week of school was marred by this horrific act of violence.

I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.

While in DC, I stopped by the
Eisenhower Executive Office Building
next to the White House. The architecture
is stunning massive columns, intricate
detail, and so much history. Hard to believe
it once housed State, War, and Navy.
Totally underrated.
