(PS) I am not arguing here for any complacency or rose-colored glasses, merely noting that the pushback against this president and his fascism is considerably stronger than many appear to realize.
The fight is not lost—not by a long shot.

(2/2) if Trump loses the House, his ability to pass legislation for the rest of his presidency ends.
Moreover, he'd expect to be repeatedly impeached over the next 18 months—putting him perpetually in Senate trial territory.
How close are Americans to fighting this man off?
Closer than you think.

There's a law that you can't close Social Security offices without notifying Congress... and that's exactly what Edolf is doing. Where is the lawsuit?! Where?!

Historian here:
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

BREAKING - Trump just said he doubts whether France or other NATO members would help America if we needed it.
WRONG. The Article 5 mutual defense obligation has been invoked only ONCE in the 75 years of NATO.
To help America. After 9/11. And our allies answered the call.

If, for example, Trump says nobody is allowed to dance, on penalty of death, he has no legal power to make that declaration and no power to enforce it, but if everyone stops dancing it's as good as if he did. Reporting as though Trump has these powers helps give him those powers.

I’m afraid Donald Trump has shattered the very foundation of the presidency—and in the process, wounded the soul of this nation.
I don’t know if we can ever fully put it back together. But if we can, it’s gonna take years. And it’s gonna take a helluva lot of work.

It might piss me the fuck off that this is true, but it is true. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is going to change unless until white people get in these people’s faces. Because when the rest of us do it, we’re just unqualified troublemakers they will ignore. And white silence enables that.

2. Refused to violate the Constitution.
3. Refused to bow or scrape.
4. Refused to bend a knee.
5. Deleted this stupid email.

Hegseth’s rough start: Pentagon chief faces protest at U.S. base abroad
The question isn’t why the defense secretary faced pushback at U.S. European Command headquarters; the question is whether he’ll see more protests soon.
