It should go without saying that this "suing your own agencies for 10 billion dollars thing" is so insane that it should be the end of an administration in any well-functioning constitutional system.

This is the most extraordinary judicial opinion I have ever read. It equates the actions of Donald Trump with George III.

(read it, it is short)

Here are Bible versus he included:
Matthew 19:14: "Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.'"
and
John 11:35, "Jesus wept"

We need to listen to what the judges are trying to tell us.

Not a good sign for our information ecosystem.

The rise of Newsmax in official congressional e-newsletters is sort of amazing.

Definitely a sign of the ideological differences between movie critics and people who choose to buy a ticket for the Melania movie.

Masked men arriving at the door of dissident journalists in the middle of the night.

(see too that is a DEA agent: the president is weaponizing all parts of the US government against his political foes).

This is from Georgia Fort’s video.

DEA?!? Gotta be a “task force.”

I know it worthy of derision, but it is also the government bragging about arresting journalists. Our freedom is under grave assault.

Abstractly, if I told you there was an entity in the United States roving around cities and killing people, busting into people's homes, and kidnapping children, you wouldn't say "let's reform it," you'd do everything in your power to put an end to it.

The Trump administration is arresting journalists, creating dystopian databases of American citizens' faces, sending masked men busting into homes without warrants, using the police to raid election offices. Everything is authoritarian now. We must resist.

More people *strongly disapprove* of Trump than approve of him, even in the slightest. He is not even a "polarizing" President, he is just historically unpopular. There is no political downside to opposing authoritarianism.

According to this reporting, this nursing assistant, with no criminal record and who is pursuing the legal path to citizenship, was violently abducted by masked men because of the color of her skin.

All decent people must reject this and demand its end.

When you explain it plainly, it’s hard not to see where we are as a country.
An aging, increasingly unpopular leader with autocratic impulses sends masked agents into opposition areas to provoke unrest. Those agents shoot an unarmed civilian observer after disarming him, obstruct evidence collection, and the government then lies about it publicly.
