Donald Trump wants you to believe that he is all powerful and that if you fight back you will lose.

He wants you to believe that if you fight back you face danger.

It is time for us to build not a temporary resistance but a long term opposition.

Trump has named Charles Kushner, father of Jared Kushner, as ambassador to France. The elder Kushner once pleaded guilty to tax evasion and making illegal campaign contributions. Trump pardoned him in 2020.

“L’état, c’est moi,” as the saying goes.

Now that Tom Homan is going to be Trump's border czar, I'd recommend this profile I did of him in 2018.

It shows how he went from being well-liked in the Obama administration to the face of Trump's immigration policies.

President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it.

The number to contact the US Senate is 202-224-3121. Call your Senators and Thune and tell them to do their jobs and oversee the Cabinet appointments. Their oath is to the Constitution and their loyalty is to their constituents, not Trump. None of his candidates are qualified.

They disenfranchise you of your voice and the vote you cast for your elected Senator.
