Turning the military directly on American citizens on US soil is unconstitutional. This is not an insurrection. These are peaceful civil disobedience protests. They’re treating our National Guard like trash. June 14 is no Kings Day. Find a protest in your city.

Gavin Newsom on X: "You sent your troops here without fuel, food, water or a place to sleep. Here they are — being forced to sleep on the floor, piled on top of one another. If anyone is treating our troops disrespectfully, it is you @realDonaldTrump. https://t.co/sUYD2KHu6O" / X

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.
Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.
Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.
That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.
It's Fascism 101.

It's blatant and overt. Trump is selling the USG off for parts and Musk is reaping the profits.
Corruption. In five parts.
– Musk spends $290M to elect Trump and other Republicans
– Trump gives Musk control of the executive branch
– Musk dismantles the agencies that regulate his companies
– Trump does a commercial for a struggling Musk company
– Musk donates another $100M to Trump

If Donald Trump can override our elected officials’ control of the purse strings, we are effectively entering a period of taxation without representation.

There is no way to understate what is happening in America — a sinister alliance between a demagogue, the world’s richest man, and right-wing activists is remaking the federal government.
It Keeps Getting Worse—and No One Is Safe
Donald Trump and Elon Musk aren’t just inflicting pain on poor people abroad or imagined “enemies within.” Their parade of cruelty is coming for MAGA country too.

So likely the world’s first Trillionaire Elon, who received $36 Billion in govt subsidies and contracts to generate his wealth, is telling the people who built this country what they can live without, as he giggles with his chain saw. Something ain’t right

Trump and Musk are a living monument to the worst excesses of human nature—an exhausting blend of arrogance, ignorance, greed, selfishness, narcissism, and the kind of misplaced confidence that has already fueled a thousand horrible decisions that will ultimately hurt millions of everyday Americans.

You never imagine the descent into despotism being quite this embarrassing, you know? You expect liberal democracy to fall to a Palpatine, not Biff Tannen.
Trump on DOGE: We’re going to go into Fort Knox to make sure the gold is still there. You know that? We’re going to go into Fort Knox. You know about that? We hope everything is fine with Fort Knox. But we’re going to go to Fort Knox and make sure the gold is still there.
