This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

This is a Republican member of Congress giving a press conference in front of signs that say "Trump = Traitor" and "Release the Epstein Files #Pedo47."
Remarkable stuff.

Massie: "The Speaker of the House just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues. They're gonna vote on a non-binding resolution today that does absolutely nothing ... they're allowing the DOJ to curate all of the information that the DOJ is giving them ... the perpetrators are being protected"

i cannot overstate how extraordinary it is for federal civil servants to do this
Host: There are new calls this morning for RFK Jr.'s resignation, and those calls coming from inside HHS itself. More than 1,000 current and former HHS workers are making this demand in a letter released this morning. They say his leadership has "put the health of all Americans at risk"

President Donald Trump’s plan to rig the 2026 midterms continues, this time in Missouri, where the GOP-controlled legislature began a special session to pass a new redistricting map that would eliminate one of two Democrat-held US House districts and net Republicans an additional seat.
On Trump’s orders, Missouri Republicans plan to gerrymander a Black lawmaker out of office
“It’s minority rule on steroids."

On Trump’s orders, Missouri Republicans plan to gerrymander a Black lawmaker out of office.
If successful, the new map would give Republicans 90 percent of seats in a state Trump carried with 58 percent of the vote in 2024.

They are sending soldiers into cities to prepare to intimidate people at the polls next year.
They gerrymander because they can’t win on policy. They intimidate because even gerrymandering won’t work at this point.

When Bush was president, liberals said he was arrogant. When Obama and Biden were presidents, conservatives said they were arrogant. But no president in has come close to the arrogance, vanity, and narcissism of Trump. Just look at this hat: ‘Trump was right about everything!’ That says it all.

Letter from FBI Director Kash Patel firing veteran FBI agent Walter Giardina, whose wife died of cancer last month at age 49. Patel accuses this agent, a Marine combat veteran, of “weaponization.” Many of his FBI colleagues told me he did his job scrupulously and ethically.

No sane person wants Iran to get a nuclear bomb--that is why Obama and allies negotiated a deal with Iran to prevent that. (If Iran dropped a nuclear bomb on Israel that would also kill all my Palestinian relatives in the West Bank.) Trump/Netanyahu ended that deal. All of this is on those two!

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes?
Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce.
Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.
