Trump tried to hijack U.S. elections with an unlawful EO

Now a federal court has issued final judgment stopping him cold

It’s proof that the rule of law still works & why we must keep defending it

on the military purge. Should be up soon.

We try to explain the broader significance of replacing these senior military officers: Trump wants to break all institutional constraints at the power agencies, and secure personal fealty to him.

One immediate action from Senate democrats is to block any up/down voice vote and hold hearings for each and every one of the new General/Admiral confirmations. The Republicans can win the votes, but the process to vote on each of these nominations will take time. Grind them down!

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.
Despicable. Elon Musk has just suggested Zelenskyy is sending soldiers to die so he can make money.

“What are they dying for? I’ll tell you what for. For the biggest graft machine I’ve seen in my life. Poor guys are getting sent into a meat grinder for money.”

Despite Ukraine’s past of sending peacekeepers to places like Yugoslavia and Congo, many countries are reluctant to deploy them here.
