UPDATE: CNN confirms that "the envelope [holding the Epstein-Nassar Note] was sent from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City [where Epstein was being held] to Nassar"—*and* got vetted by federal officials.
Which explains the Virginia postmark (where the FBI is).

This is Nazism. And the only reason some folks cannot see it is because they, themselves, are also dangerous fascists. This may be the most un-American statement ever uttered by a man currently serving as co-President of the United States. It spits in the face of everything America is.

The complete refuse to accept political differences and the total demonization of the political opposition is a toxic and dangerous brew. It looks to me as if many Democrats do not understand this is the agenda of the GOP and the right.
It seems Glenn Beck and his ilk are preparing their followers for two possible futures: a) permanent and complete GOP control of the federal government or b) massive resistance to a Democratic victory that will make J6 look like a garden party. One thing they’re not prepping folks for is democracy.

Probably be good right now if the President and the Vice President weren't on the record "joking" about killing fishermen.
🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Mussolini had his Blackshirts. Hitler had his Brownshirts. Trump has his ICE agents. All were violent thugs implementing a bigoted ideology for a criminal fascist regime.

The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks.
This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.

WOW. This entire story is HORRIFIC. This is FOIA of a body cam from the raid in upstate New York the same day as the Hyundai plant. It catches a Border Patrol agent on camera only bragging about denying medical care to migrants detained at the border under Biden — who he says are all "animals."

1. Judges have stopped him, repeatedly.
2. We are one election away from breaking that control (which right now only rests with a handful of seats in the House)
3. His runway is a lot shorter and he's a lot weaker than you think, which is why you should stop mythologizing him.

But, the descent into fascism is happening swiftly and relentlessly.
Trump controls all 3 branches of government and he has a long runway.

32 USC § 502(f)(2) would violate Article IV of the Constitution if applied to support deployment of un-federalized out-of-state National Guard troops into a state that didn’t want those troops there, as with Trump’s proposed use of the Texas National Guard to invade Illinois
