If Trump and Musk were trying to weaken the United States and sell it to its foreign enemies, how would they act any differently from the way they're acting now?
Not at all, you say? Maybe you should wonder why that is.

James Madison wrote of the necessity of the separation of powers:
“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive & judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elected, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

It’s a good day to remember that just because you can’t do everything doesn’t mean you can’t do something. I’m going to try to remind myself of this for the next four years.

At the end of WW2, American generals sent the German townsfolk near places like Dachau and Bergen-Belsen through the camps so they could never again claim they didn't know.
One of these days, someone will need to do that here.

Ugh. @schumer.senate.gov called for more bipartisanship. Neville Chamberlain thought he had achieved “peace for our time.” In case this is too subtle, the message here is you don’t stop evil by cooperating with it - you only become an accomplice.

Remember: The GOP uses dangerous smears against trans people, immigrants, and people of color to deflect attention from the near record share of the nation’s income and wealth now going to the richest Americans.
Don't let them get away with it.
