Trump can call me names but the truth remains. He is an unhinged wanna be dictator who is angry that I beat him in court and won't cower in fear. Now he is weaponizing the federal government against his political opponents.
I will not back down.
I will not bow or scrape.
I will never obey.

Trump name-checks Marc Elias and says he tried to turn American into a communist nation (big, if true)

Not for nothing but everyone realizes that these teenagers and 20 somethings who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China, right?

7/ For both House and Senate, as well as massive Dem superPACs (looking at you, Future Forward) START SUING. I'm not a lawyer, obvi, but any moron can see that Trump's unconstitutional and illegal actions not only deserve but DEMAND court challenges.

8/ The Republicans have sacrificed the legitimacy of Congress on the altar of obeisance to Trump. They've abrogated the power and role of a co-equal branch of government.
Y'all might want to do any and everything you can to save it before its too late.

6/ In the Senate (God save us), be like Mitch McConnell if HE was in the minority. Maneuver. Obstruct. Delay. Use the rules to stop everything you can. Guilt the hell out of Collins, Murkowski, Langford, Tillis, and anyone else you can.
(This is a tall order for which I have little hope.)

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.
There’s not.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

It is a crime to lie to Congress if you are not already a member of Congress
MARKEY: Under oath you claimed that when you went to Samoa 'it had nothing to do with vaccines'
RFK Jr: Yes
MARKEY: Well, I have in my hands a blog post in which you say that an anti-vax group you ran offered to fund the trip and that the trip was ultimately arranged by an anti-vaccine activist

Listening to the mother of former Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone describing on @joy.msnbc.com how she has been harassed and menaced is making my chest so tight. If your police union hasn’t condemned this conduct if, as a Member of Congress, you’ve condoned these pardons, you are a disgrace.

Before the election, I warned that Trump would pardon all of the Jan. 6 defendants and some of them would form the core of a new rightwing paramilitary organization loyal to Trump.
At the time, people dismissed me as alarmist. I stand by that prediction.

In his amicus brief on release of the special counsel report, Trump argues: “As the President-Elect and soon-to-be 47th President, President Trump has an interest in a smooth transition and efficacious vesting of executive power."
And irony is dead right there.
