"Dear President Trump,

Your power comes not from you personally but from the great strength of this country. So when you use that leverage to extort lavish praise, they will offer it. But they don’t mean a word of it. And they hate you for demeaning them..."

I am not an economist but seems like Trump takes credit for the recovery and high GDP he inherited from Obama and Biden and manages to tank the economy with wrecking ball economic policies. Republican voodoo economics on overdrive: tax cuts for billionaires and job losses for the rest.

NEW from me — I broke down Trump's claim on local right wing radio that the US carried out a Christmas Eve land strike in Venezuela, how he doubled down Monday, the subsequent media reports with no substance, the potential role of social media rumors about an actual fire, and how we need the truth:
Trump says US bombed alleged drug facility in Venezuela. No one knows if it’s true.
It could be a lie from social media, or a conflation of other stories. Either way, Americans need to know.

It’s not our duty to just smile and nod when a man with this much power demonstrates that he’s a pathological liar and an imbecile. Quite the contrary. Real patriots say out loud this is just plain nuts and he’s unfit to hold office.
Trump: "It's funny, I settled 8 wars. Some were going on for 35 years. And we got them settled in a couple of days. Some of them -- one was going on for 37 years. I settled it in one day. But this is a very complex one."

Bulldoze the ballroom.
"When it happens, Republicans will object (and you can only imagine the meltdown Trump himself will have on Truth Social). The response Dems give should be simple: *Too bad. We have the power now.* A strong message must be sent to the country and future generations that Trump will not be honored."
Why every vestige of Trump must be torn down
He's trying to create a physical legacy. The moment he's out of power, it has to be smashed to bits.

Republicans claim they’re better for the economy, but it hasn't been true for a century. Don't fall for it. They're better for the wealthy and that's it.

Alternate media is now essential media, because the "mainstream" press is no longer reporting on essential stories, including the rapid decaying of Trump's mind and body.

Trump is increasingly worried about his own mortality, and he's trying to use government to create a physical legacy that will outlive him.

Which is why every bit of it must be torn down and smashed to bits.

WOW. MTG revealed to the NYT that when she threatened to identify the names of men in the Epstein files who abused women, Trump called her and screamed. Everyone in the office suite could hear him yelling at her on speakerphone. He told her, “My friends will get hurt.”

I used to think they were all nuts when they’d carry on non-stop about deep state cabals, powerful pedophile rings and highly connected sex traffickers.

It turns out they knew exactly what they were talking about.

After Marjorie Taylor Greene held a news conference at which she threatened to name abusers in the Epstein files, Trump called her.

Greene was in her Capitol Hill office. Everyone in the suite of rooms could hear him yelling at her.

According to Greene, Trump replied, "My friends will get hurt."

Trump tells supporters in a new fundraising email that if they don’t donate to him within the next hour, Democrats will steal their "tariff rebate checks" and give them to "illegals," that the country is "boiling over," and that only an immediate cash transfer to him can stop total disaster.

Heads up that this is authorization for Trump to create his own version of the Wagner Group. Which would bring the number of “armies” at his disposal to four:

*regular armed forces (most regulated)
*ICE (minimally regulated)
*private mercenaries (?)
*MAGA thugs/militias (rogue)

All pardonable

Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd.

Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage.

Another reason for Medicare for All.
