You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

I don’t think I would ever make fun of Canadians even if I wanted to. I think if you grew up in the 80s or 90s in the US, you’ve always had, at least, the sneaking suspicion that they are MUCH funnier than we are.

The things Trump is doing make perfect sense if you ignore the traditions of the American presidency and understand that Trump is a wannabe authoritarian.

"What’s more disturbing still is that Gabbard believes the intelligence community she’s been selected to lead has been working behind the scenes to destroy American democracy." Kind of like Robert Kennedy Jr. and HHS, Kash Patel and the FBI...
Trump Wants to ‘End’ Sanctuary Cities. This Mayor Has a Different Idea.
Denver’s Mike Johnston believes his approach to immigration, not Trump’s, is working. And he’s not planning to give in.

Bernie Sanders: "We are living in an unprecedented moment in American history. We are looking at a rapid growth of oligarchy. We are looking at a rapid growth of authoritarianism. And I fear we're looking at a rapid growth of kleptocracy as well."

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

#Maddow pointing out that Pete Hegseth has already made a massive blunder, breaking protocol on death notifications related to the service members killed in the helicopter crash. He was supposed to keep their information private for 24 hours. It took him about 12 hours to blab details about them.

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.
