Trump is defying a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling against him. The Constitutional Crisis is no longer some abstract idea, it's right here staring us in the face.

Lincoln talked about a government of the people, by the people, for the people.
Today, with Trump as our president, we have a government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, for the billionaires.

About the most disgusting and despicable things these criminals have done, and given their history, that says a lot.
“Trump and Vance have revealed to Americans and to America’s allies their alignment with Russia, and their animosity toward Ukraine in general and its president in particular,” writes @davidfrum.bsky.social. “The truth is ugly, but it’s necessary to face it.” theatln.tc/OBWzC38t

This Shocking Moment at a GOP Town Hall in Idaho Is a Foreboding Sign
Private, unidentified security personnel dragged a woman out of the event. It raises questions not just about tolerance for dissent, but also who gets deputized to do what.

I really hope people are paying attention. A president who believes they are above the law is no longer a president. That’s absolute power, a dictatorship, a death knell to democracy.
