How America Can Avoid Becoming Russia
Political pressure must be brought to bear—through the courts, the press, and the states, but also applied to legislators while they still have any power left.

"Trump and his allies in power are trying to erect an authoritarian Mafia state like the one Vladimir Putin and his cronies established in Russia."

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.

It’s kinda wild the President is openly corrupt, Nazi sympathizing, and very likely a pedophile—and most Republicans in Congress are still willing to ignore the Constitution whenever he asks.

A lot of people are going to walk away from the Ghislaine Maxwell coverage with the impression that our prison system isn’t punitive enough but I’d say it highlights how most everyone else is treated with *deliberate* cruelty.

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

The premium the US pays on 10-year Treasuries over foreign 10-year yields after those are hedged back into Dollars has fallen below where it was during the Biden administration. This doesn't mean the US is doing well. There's just so many other high-debt basket cases out there...

Precious metals are tumbling. I'd flagged last week's IMF/WB meetings as a catalyst for this bubble to pop, which is what's happened. This is overdue and is healthy. But it's not the same thing as the end of the "debasement trade." That will keep going...

Trump has believed, since his first term, that the U.S. treasury is his personal piggy bank (as he did with his personal charity). The entire purpose of his presidency is to funnel as much of it as he can to himself and his family
Trump: "It's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself. But I was damaged very greatly and any money I would get I would give to charity."

The Inspector General system is basically broken now. Most IGs have been fired, most positions remain vacant. Those who remain or would take the job pose no risk to holding the regime accountable.
Congress added more barriers to Trump firing IGs after his first term. He just ignored them.
