Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.
But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Went ahead and updated my map of cities with higher crime than D.C. to accommodate the two new states from the Deep South who are sending troops to the capital. In the five states there are 64 cities, home to 1.7 million people, that had more crime in 2024 than D.C.

Gallego on Mamdani: "It's okay to say 'I disagree with this, this, and this, but I agree with that.' But the idea that we're just gonna throw out people that are really bringing in new ideas to the fold, exciting people, just because they're slightly to the right or to the left of us is dumb."

There’s no longer any pretense this has anything to do with crime (there are cities or parts of cities in SC and Ohio that have higher crime rates than DC — send the troops there!). This is about establishing a precedent for Trump seizing control of the nation’s capital when he wants to.

Creating a "national police force" was for decades a right-wing bogeyman, the feared unconstitutional federal usurpation of states' rights, the very thing "support your *local* police" and fetishizing elected sheriffs was all about.

Confused about what happened at the "very unusual" Trump-Putin summit? Listen to what Fox's Bret Baier, Brian Kilmeade, and Jacqui Heinrich said about it:
"It did not seem like things went well. It seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled."
