I hope it's clear to everyone by now that Trump's play over and over again is to yell "National Security!" and pretend as though that gives him the right to act like a dictator

Sean Duffy says he now has veto power over appropriations passed by Congress and signed into law. He is the dictator over infrastructure funds. If you do something he doesn’t like, you lose the funds passed by Congress. bsky.app/profile/atru...

A woman who leads something called “The Free Press” and who got the made-up job title CBS “Editor-in-Chief” openly says journalism is when you only run stories if your subject responds to you:
On a call just now, Bari Weiss tells staff she held the CECOT story because it wasn’t ready & to advance a months-old story, they need "the principals" on record.
Yesterday, CBS reporter Sharyn Alfonsi warned if they can only do stories when government responds, it “gains control” over 60 Minutes.

It should be clear that white supremacy is inextricably linked with wealth consolidation and the only reason historical bigots, racists and xenophobes are attempting to be tolerant of the Jewish diaspora is because they have deep and lucrative relationships with many Zionists
"The most salient fact about Vance’s stance isn’t that it’s nonsensical. It’s that nobody he’s talking to is paying it much attention." Nazis gonna Nazi, and it's not clear anyone will stop them.
