I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Thou shalt focus on the current president's throbbing insanity and dementia. The previous president is no longer president and so it no longer matters.

When you understand that the contemporary Republican Party is little more than the Confederate government-in-exile finally seizing power after 160 years, you realize that there's no "snapping people out of it" because it's what they've wanted for over a century.

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.

When the media points out Trump’s “potential conflicts of interest,” as it has in recent days when describing Trump’s growing crypto enterprise, it doesn’t come close to telling the public what’s really going on.

The correct word is corruption. robertreich.substack.com/p/dont-call-...
Don’t call them “potential conflicts of interest.”
They’re corruption.

Trump’s second-term ethics agreement is such a permissive document that it is challenging to find a way to violate it. But three months into his presidency, Trump has found a way.

Trump promised no new business deals with foreign governments. He lied.
His family's real estate deals put the president in direct conflict with the Constitution.

NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.

Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.
Fascism again.

@americorps.bsky.social members were mercilessly terminated by Regime.

These members are part of the Forest Service’s lifeblood to build trails, recover from disasters & fight wildland fires.

The Black Cove Complex fire was just a few weeks ago— AmeriCorps boots were on the ground there.

No more.
Big emotions today and yesterday in Vicksburg MS during the final demobilization of the AmeriCorps NCCC members. A lot of people don't know anything about this program. But the people here have done so much good for Americans, and would've done more if they hadn't been so cruelly forced home.
