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"

With the government shutdown well into its second week, Democrats are far from folding, @russellberman.bsky.social and @jonlemire.bsky.social report. While still at an impasse, they have succeeded at elevating one key issue for the party:

True that! #politics #religion

Thou shalt worry less about Tylenol causing autism and more about Donold causing fascism.

BREAKING: Sinclair FOLDS and ends its preemption of Jimmy Kimmel Live! The show will return tonight on Sinclair's ABC affiliates.

Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Steve Bannon are named in the Epstein files, huh? Who could have guessed??

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

After weeks of the Trump administration warning of a crackdown, President Trump shared a threatening post depicting himself with helicopters, flames and the Chicago skyline, saying the city was “about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR.” Illinois officials condemned the message.

We the people are the job creators who keep showing up and making America great right now!

Everyone at the CDC is getting fired or resigning.

RFK Jr. wants to ban all vaccines. His idiocy will get millions of people killed.

Truth Art! #arresttrump #art

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Donald Trump is using an imaginary crime spike in D.C. to deliver the authoritarian government his party once warned about, @dgraham.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily.

To recap, Trump:

-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI

This is disastrous leadership.
