Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

As a person who lives in Portland (photo from this morning), I call 100% bullshit on this. The idea that Portland is “war torn” by “riots” is absolutely absurd.

In a Bridges® classroom, students lead. They discuss, collaborate, and share ideas as they build math confidence together.

“In the last week, more than 200 veterans have volunteered to attend immigration hearings with Afghans who worked with U.S. forces during the 20-year war in Afghanistan…”
Hundreds of veterans volunteer to attend asylum hearings with Afghans
The effort began after a former Afghan interpreter was detained after his San Diego asylum hearing this month.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

This is worth a read. The way these guys are weilding power to evoke fear should be a signal for people to connect and support one another. Otherwise, they are counting on fear to enable this type of encroachment on civil libertes to go unchallenged. slate.com/news-and-pol...
The Courage To Be Decent
The goal isn’t to police all behavior at all times. It’s to make us fearful to the point that we police our own behavior.

Feels pretty accurate.
The Plan
1) Economic sneak attack on allies and partners.
2) Threaten to invade Danish territory and to annex Canada.
3) Sell out Ukraine to Putin, wreck NATO.
4) Permanent 10% tariff on former friends.
5) Surprise and hurt that nobody wants to help Trump find a face-saving exit

💯 Dems should also commit to a specific position: Trump has not honored the promises and agreements of his predecessors and we will not honor his. If you're gullible enough to trust an assurance from Trump, understand that it is gone the moment he is.
I'm not kidding that any Dem who wants to run in 2028 should get out ahead of this and loudly say if El Salvador puts American citizens in Trump's gulag we'll fucking invade.
