Republican fascism embraces murder by the state, ignores due process, and robs wealth from the people to build an illegal anti-American army to protect these wealth hoarders.

All based on the insane ramblings of this muppet king of the rubes.

Donald Trump attended a notable social event aboard Robert Maxwell’s yacht, known as the Lady Ghislaine, in May 1989, where he was reportedly a guest of honor among other prominent figures incl. former Sen. Tower.

Imagine if KJP or Psaki had said this about the Republican base: not just that half of them were “deplorables” but that the GOP’s “main constituency is made up of domestic terrorists, white supremacists, and violent criminals”? The media, not just Fox, would be in meltdown. GOP would be screaming!

Here's something cool - we asked our members to reach out to the legislative directors for their reps and request a meeting (subject line "Trump Impeachment for Treason").

20% response rate from member offices.

Half of the responding reps are REPUBLICANS.

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

the “Trump has illegally seized the power of the purse from Congress” crisis has a comms problem - its a massive issue but that doesn’t fit on a slogan

Then i realized we have one direct from our founders: “no taxation without representation”

As @aclu.org's Brett Max Kaufman warns, it's crucial that we "refuse to treat these strikes as a new normal."

📣"Everyone who cares about the rule of law and human rights must continue to press for transparency, accountability and an immediate end to this illegal and lethal campaign."

Trump's boat strikes are killing potentially innocent civilians. They must be stopped.

There is no credible factual or legal argument that the United States is engaged in an armed conflict with any drug cartel under international law.

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

SCOTUS declined to explain why ICE can use race to abduct you off the street without probable cause but the government is absolutely forbidden to use race to preserve the voting rights of historically marginalized and minoritized communities.

Remember how we just went through a multi-week newscycle where Democrats and liberals were lambasted for their "violent" political rhetoric, which included Fox hosts claiming that only one political party was demonizing their political opponents as evil? And how libs needs to lower the temperature?
