Republicans since Reagan have envisioned a Project 2025 America. Now that they have it, they aren't giving it up. Expect the shutdown to last and end badly.

True leadership, according to Sun Tzu, arises from moral rectitude and selflessness—concentrating power solely in the service of the mission and people. The leaders in that room other than Trump and his Secretary of War have these traits.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Charlie Kirk understood something crucial:
Young voters aren’t tuning into cable—they’re scrolling through TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
If Democrats want to reach the next generation, they need to start mastering the platforms where ideas actually spread.

Thanking God for sparing you in a natural disaster is a bit like sending a thank you note to a serial killer for murdering the family next door.

He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one.
Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant.
Many have speculated how he’d do it.
Now his gambit is clear.
DC was a test.
He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities.
This is not a drill.
Democracy is at defcon 1.

Trump is compromised.
On Epstein.
And with Putin.
Almost every person I know outside the US finds this obvious.
Almost everything I've learned in behavioral psychology, supports this.
HIS behavior supports this, daily.
Occam's Razor supports this.

We cannot allow it to be undone by grifters, ideologues, macho morons, and keystone kops - led by a madman.
