For the New York Times to write a piece that reads: Trump Got His Revenge on John Bolton… rather than in an unprecedented and unhinged move a US President abuses his power for retribution tells you everything you need to know about the state of America fascism.

Yeah, it’s called sponsorship. We already have that program in place. This is all nuts.
Trump: "We have a lot of cases where ICE will go into a farm. These are guys working there for 10-15 years, no problem. The farmers know them. It's called farmer responsibility, or owner responsibility, They will be responsible for these people. They know these people."

We now have a concentration camp in Florida.

Stop pretending any of this is normal.

If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person.

Be human.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

The word of the year should already be “audacity”…as in the audacity of these entitled white misogynist and racist billionaires thinking they can just traipse into our government, ignore the law,

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

The richest man in the world, an unelected robber baron oligarch billionaire with a 36% approval rating bought the presidency, seized the treasury and the media is barely talking about it. The real world has become the twilight zone.

The new DNC chair…
A few weeks ago I had a chance to interview Ken Martin, about his commitment to have the DNC fight for voting rights. His answer gives me hope that we will again see the DNC take a leadership role in the fight for democracy. youtu.be/_vbbvO_fx0Y

Hate to break it to you guys, but Republican voters have been voting AGAINST their own interests since before I was born.

They're truly that committed to being stupid.

The Republican party was fated for the ultimate psychopath conman.

It was only a matter of when & whom.
