If you don't want to call it authoritarian or fascist, fine, but there's no ideological wiggle room around "White House functionaries have to follow US laws even if they don't wanna." Whatever else this administration might be, it's first and foremost criminal.

This situation cannot, will not hold. 370 million people will not allow a few dozen perverts and their pervert protecting pals DESTROY this country. They are predators. This will not stand.

Apropos of nothing, once the President of the United States confirms covert CIA operations in a country… say, Venezuela, those operations are no longer covert.

And it puts CIA officers at significantly more risk.

Really important that we don't become numb to the President designating unspecified groups as terrorists who he can just kill without any process and without much evidence that the allegations against the unknown people are even actually true.

Trump: "They have committed massive political crime. I hope they're looking at Schifty Schiff. I hope they're looking at all these people. And I'm allowed to find out. I'm in theory the chief law enforcement officer."

This is wild. The Texas state fair is *empty*.

The people in this video have got it right:
—everyone is broke: no one can afford these prices
—everyone is scared: they're afraid to leave their houses because of ICE Gestapo agents kidnapping people

What do I know and I'm not saying it's a magic bullet or anything like that but it sure seems to me that Dems should run hard on the Argentina bailout. Not anywhere near the worst thing Trump has done, but i suspect it's unusually clarifying.

Jeffries: "It's perplexing to us that Rs refuse to spend a dime to protect the healthcare of the American people, but somehow the Trump admin found $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina in ways that are also going to continue to hurt our soybean farmers in Iowa & the Midwest"

It's DEF Con 1 For American Democracy: All Hands on Deck!

Trump is declaring war against Americans, striking Venezuela, musing about the Insurrection Act, and unleashing ICE to terrorize Americans. The white nationalist regime is gunning for total power.

Tesla is sitting on nearly a billion dollars of unsold Cybertrucks. Now Elon's using the imaginary value of SpaceX and xAI to bail out Tesla... While asking Tesla investors for a blank check to "invest" in xAI. The entire empire is a giant scam. #teslatakedown www.dailykos.com/story/2025/1...

Cybertruck sales are so bad Musk is selling them to ... himself

You wanna see a dead body? Third-quarter sales numbers for Tesla’s misbegotten Cybertruck are in, and it is definitely spooky season for tech titan Elon Musk, who moved only 5,385 of the hideous ...

Why is nobody even trying to restrain Trump from murdering Venezuelan fishermen, America?? Do you not care because they're brown, and therefore deserve to be blown up?

The US military has now blown up five boats in the Caribbean, murdering 27 civilians.

This is far from the worse thing Trump has done, but I somehow find it the most horrifying.

The President's Murder Spree Continues
open.substack.com/pub/daniella...

The danger of letting this murder spree continue is obvious. If the president is permitted to get away with summary executions, he will order many more of them. Once the military gets into the habit of carrying out these illegal orders, there will be little or no resistance to carrying out others. If this president faces no serious opposition and pays no price for these crimes, future presidents will take it for granted that they can abuse their power in the same way.

He’s always been vile, repulsive, gross

I have come to hate the party that has adopted him as their god even more. What cowardly, craven, money-grubbing toadies
