JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule
He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

This is a crime. The Supreme Court has foolishly decided that Trump can commit crimes with impunity, but that is NOT true of anyone who works for him. Stephen Miller, Hegseth, Noem and anyone else who declares war on the US and our Constitution must not be let off the hook. Two years in prison

Sehr gute (Erst-)Einschätzung der budgetären Maßnahmen im #Regierungsprogramm ⬇️
Im Doppelbudget stehen neue Ausgaben von 1,5 Mrd. Euro, die sich bis 2029 auf kumuliert 6 Mrd. Euro erhöhen könnten. Plus: Wenn der FLAF ins Budget wandert, wie geplant, wären ab 2027 weitere 7 Mrd. zu finden. SEHR ambitioniert.

Ukraine got into a war because Russia invaded them, demanding they give up independence.
The only way for Ukraine to not go into war was bowing down to Putin and forfeiting freedom.
