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. T.Roosevelt

In years to come, people will ask, "who lost Ukraine?" and "who lost Europe?"

Whatever the reason, this date will live forever as a dark stain on the history of the United States. This citadel of democracy is in danger of falling and unless we, the people, make our voices heard, it will.

Minnesota Proved MAGA Wrong

“No application of armed violence can make the men with guns as heroic as the people who choose to stand in their path with empty hands in defense of their neighbors.”

an administration that understood it needed at least *some* public opinion on its side would dump bovino immediately
DHS is using explosives on people’s homes???

“Bovino has often used the phrase “turn and burn” to describe Border Patrol operations, a reference to actions like smashing windshields, using explosives to blow down the doors of homes and engaging in car chases.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/u...

The horrific killings in Minneapolis & Trump’s assault on the democratic alliance with Europe over Greenland are part of the same pattern of regime change: Unchecked presidential power linked to a larger project of destroying our institutions. That is the overriding issue now.
My column:
The Minnesota killings laid bare that Trump’s project is regime change. The goal was described by MAGA thinkers, the pattern set on Day One. The nation let his early moves—the Jan. 6 pardons, the TikTok power grab—slip by. Denial & complacency must end. Now

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices
Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”

Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars
Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"
