Maduro was a brutal ruler, it’s true. So is Putin—who Trump supports. So was Bolsonaro, who Trump supports. So was the drug-trafficking former head of Honduras, who Trump just pardoned. So is Nayib Bukele in El Salvador. MBS. Bibi.

Stop pretending Trump cares about illegitimacy or brutality.

We can’t have a democracy when one of the parties goes rogue. The only way the Republicans are going to behave is if the Democrats force them to. Bipartisanship is therefore a symptom of the disease. Partisanship is the cure.

Let’s not forget that every single Republican who stands by and enables Donald Trump could stop this recklessness today, tomorrow or any damn day of the week. Their failure—their refusal—to do so makes them complicit in his crimes and the crimes of his corrupt, lawless regime.

An elected official accepting a 747 from a foreign country is so flamboyantly illegal that any news outlet characterizing it as "controversial" or "an ethical issue" should be ignored, have their subscriptions canceled and their reporters banned as TV pundits forever. This isn't close.

Again, this is a level of corruption so cartoonish, so obvious & on the surface, that it seems to have stunned everyone to silence.

Consistently.

The goal of a business is to make money. The goal of a government is to serve the people. They’re not interchangeable.
Mail delivery. Real estate. Foreign aid grants. The Trump administration is moving to privatize a sweeping number of government functions and assets — a long-standing Republican goal that’s being catalyzed by billionaire Elon Musk.

If you stole over $120 billion from the government and overprescribed opioids to 237,713 people leading to 109,000 overdoses, you'd be in prison.

But when health insurance companies do it, their executives get bonuses.

To defend the vitriol a bit: It is simply not true that most people who got leopard-eaten will learn their lesson. Even if they dump Trump, they will eagerly back the next fascist demagogue.

What’s happening goes far beyond Trump and Musk.

Well-funded elements of the right-wing have been planning a lot of what we’re seeing for years, and much of the planning has been public. The outline for Project 2025 was published in 2023.

So keep in mind Democratic leadership knew what was coming.

Apparently Joe & Jill will ride with Trump & Melania to the Capitol tomorrow.

Either Trump is a threat to democracy, & guilty of an insurrection, or not.

I believe he is.

Biden claimed to believe he is, too. But Biden & many top Dems didn't actually believe it.

Otherwise, how to explain this?
