Chris Murphy and I also discussed the need for more Democrats to say loudly and clearly, right now, that many Trump accomplices may be carrying out illegal orders, and if so they should prepare to face consequences later.
Murphy offers a good way to do this here. 6/

To the extent that Murphy is describing the situation accurately, the takeaway here is that Team Don't Fight is motivated by fear of electoral consequences.
Which means that it's voters' job to change what they're afraid of.

I asked Chris Murphy if he privately talks to Dem colleagues about why they don't sound the alarm loudly. His answers were depressing. Dems tell him they don't want to be "alarmist" or that "democracy" didn't work in 2024, so they want to stick to health care. 5/

As Gov Pritzker describes it, the Trump secret police assault on a Lakeshore Drive apartment complex was a made-for-TV event designed not to serve any lawful mission, but instead to create video footage that would be suitably depraved to entertain the MAGA base. That's correct.

We don't give enough credit to journalists who risk life and limb to bring us the truth
Portland is a “war-ravaged” city that is “on fire,” President Trump warns. But I braved the artillery fire and militia checkpoints to bring you this video report from the front lines.

If I were in a city under occupation, I'd probably print up a shit ton of "Trump Bucks" with some basic info on the back about being deployed without pay as a morale killer.
ok I didn't mention this in my piece on friday but one of the things the judge asked about was whether the guardsmen were going to get paid during the shutdown
the doj was like "idk"
the state of oregon was like "we looked into it and the answer is no"

“We don’t think the way fraudsters think” is a very funny thing for a guy who made his money on daytime TV to say
Dr Oz: "We have an advantage with AI. You know why? We don't think the way fraudsters think. That's just not what our minds do. The bank managers don't think about bank fraud. They want to do loans and help businesses. Fraudsters think about fraud. So the AI can think the way a fraudster thinks."

The acting CDC director has finally signed off on the vaccine advisory panel's recommendations for the COVID vaccines.
While the CDC is trying to sell this as a win for antivaxxers, in reality this means that COVID vaccines will be more accessible than they have been in recent weeks.
