We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.
The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight
Justice Riggs is right. We should not have to fight for democracy. But the reality is that we must.

“Texas is poised to go further by shifting some of those responsibilities, traditionally held by professors, to politically appointed university regents”https://www.texastribune.org/2025/05/24/texas-governing-boards-regents-senate-bill-37/
Political appointees would have more control over Texas universities’ courses and hiring under bill OK’d by House
Senate Bill 37 would give more power to university regents, who are appointed by the governor, to vet and veto new curricula and administrators.

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

Seems it just does not matter what he "says" or claims. All can change on a dime at any time. He's but a front for his base to consume while the Heritage Foundation ruins gov't and the tech bros/billionaires drain the treasury. Miserable POS con man, conning them all. Perilous times indeed.
Trump says he doesn’t know if he needs to uphold constitutional due process
