School vouchers are a scam to send taxpayer money to private religious schools. Vouchers are also a violation of church and state.

A man who screamed “Kill ’em!” at police during the January 6 riot now works for the Department of Justice. And the DOJ says they “appreciate his contributions.”

If you’re not chilled by that, you’re not paying attention.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

i have been thinking a lot about how the entire concept of “the deal” is antithetical to transparency, fair play and rule of law, as larry notes. the deal is necessarily nonstandard, ad hoc and dependent on the whims of the dealmaker
The idea that President can negotiate/dictate bilateral “deals” by using the full force of the federal government to punish and humiliate his perceived enemies goes against the whole idea of the rule of law. That should be the story, rather than normalizing this authoritarian behavior.

Donald Trump is not a political story, it’s a crime story. And understanding him does not depend on political science, but psychology.

Why counter-gerrymandering is both necessary and justified: this authoritarian move by Trump and his loyal, compliant red state followers in places like Texas has to be met without hesitation: The very survival of our republic is at stake in this moment.

If he builds his golden ballroom, how soon can it be torn down?

Indeed, let’s remember many of these heinous acts can be overturned. None of this despicable demolition of our government and values is unchangeable. But it requires ending his lawless regime & returning power to responsible leaders.

Now Trump will treat being homeless as an offense to justify imprisoning people without trial in the growing set of concentration camps that he avoids calling what they are. All in the name of safe public spaces and less crime. Unconstitutional, but hard to stop.

If you’re feeling uneasy, it’s probably because we now know we live in a country built on the blackmail of a dead pedophile who is Too Big to Fail, so Congress has to go home for a couple of months to figure out how talk about it without defenestrating the president and collapsing the economy.

I do want to apologize for dwelling on my fears a Trump second term could be dangerously authoritarian.

But is it ok now to say a word about the president of the United States sitting in the Oval Office accusing a predecessor of treason? Or would that be a distraction from kitchen table issues?
