How will future historians write about Trump, whose first term ended in disaster and an attempted coup, and whose second term authoritarianism and demented lies are so routine that the latest "false claim" can be cataloged as "another outlandish conspiracy theory"?

You know I was struggling with which part of this letter I wanted to highlight and then I got to this part, “Goldman also reported that the top female agents at the FBI were told to take different jobs in the agency or retire.”
It kills me that so many of the women in my life still support this!

I haven't seen any other members of Congress taking about ICE (and whoever else is helping ICE) wearing masks and removing badges to hide their identity.
Call your Rep &. Senators! Ask them to talk about why ICE / DHS are hiding their identities!

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.
In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.
Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

In March 2023, Milley met Bob Woodward at a reception and said, “We gotta talk.”

Elon Musk can promote all his business interests as a "special government employee" and all his government decisions serve his business purposes.
This isn't just a "conflict of interest."
It's a total convergence of his interests.
