The cruelty of the regime knows no bounds. It’s like they revel in it.

Join if you can! HCR is one of my favs. My fav quote from her on NPR she said (paraphrasing), "I don't want to do this. I'm an historian. I want to sit in a dark library reading books nobody reads. Doing research to write books that nobody will ever read."

Trump is demanding that the DOJ transfer $230 million in taxpayer dollars into his own personal bank account.

He can do this because, thanks to the Supreme Court’s recent decisions, the executive branch could accurately be described by King Louis XIV—L’état, c’est Trump.

As Trump plans to steal $230 million from taxpayers, we can thank John Roberts

Shall we call it a "Roberts reward"?

I feel like Congress needs to nut up and grab him by the War Powers act. I feel like the world's dumbest dictator is testing out whether he can declare armed conflicts against -isms and-ologies. I feel like the longer he gets away with this, the more likely we will see drone strikes in blue cities.

Stephen Miller: "The scandal is how Democrats & the left scarred the landscape of our country w/grotesque so-called modern art that celebrates ugliness ... very importantly, President Trump is making sure it's in the neo-classical design around which our nation's architecture has long been directed"

What’s so “secretive” about it? Seems to me it’s happening in plain sight! 🤨

Seth Abramson @sethabramson.bsky.social · 13h

Steve Bannon has confirmed that there is a secret plot afoot to end our democracy and install Trump as a permanent dictator.

If this were untrue, he’d be getting a visit from the FBI, as what he’s describing is a criminal conspiracy.

He won’t get an FBI visit.

Steve Bannon says ‘there is a plan’ for Trump to be president in 2028

Former Trump advisor claims winning a third term could be easier than Trump’s previous electoral victories

All wrapped up in a perverse facade of Christianity. Makes me sick.

“Betty Ford had the best quote for how special the East Wing is: ‘If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart,” Anita McBride, who was chief of staff to Laura Bush when she was first lady, told East Wing Magazine.” - NYTimes

What a metaphor, indeed. 💔
