“They asked for a sword, and we said, ‘Well, we do have swords, but we can’t give them away because they’re museum artifacts,’” said Todd Arrington, forced to resign as head of Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library.”

This is the reason Schumer and Jeffries have been doing the “gee whizz we’d love to be bipartisan” routine when they tell Johnson and Thune to shove a clean CR up their asses the last few weeks

A thing that is helpful is for you to tell your legislators that you support this! Makes them braver!

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher.

Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

No one compos mentis would say then ended a war between those nations because if you even recognize the names of the nations you know they were never at war and would never be at war.

Trump declared he ended a conflict any adult would never speak of because the premise of it is instantly laughable.

And as you mourn the numberless dead of the Great Armenian-Cambodian War, remember—as Jake Tapper once told us—that it was *Biden* who was non compos mentis for his whole presidency (despite every person Tapper spoke to saying the opposite) and Trump whose fading mental stamina mustn’t be spoken of.

Where were *you* when Cambodia invaded Armenia?

Personally—and I’m ashamed to admit this—I can’t remember where I was.

But I do know that the first time I heard of the long, bloody war between Cambodia and Armenia was tonight—when Trump boasted of negotiating the armistice that ended the conflict.

The President invoking the Insurrection Act — and deploying the military on U.S. city streets — is as serious as it gets.

This is what I’ve spent seven years warning about. Trump called these his “magical powers.”

American democracy might not be ready for what’s next.
