This is extraordinary, heartbreaking, and a red alert warning sign for our democracy.

These people are about to be federal judges, and they refuse to answer whether the U.S. Capitol was attacked on January 6.

They say they can't comment because it's "a political controversy".
Sen. BLUMENTHAL: Was the U.S. Capitol attacked on January 6, 2021?

Trump nominee: *dodges*

Trump nominee: *dodges*

Trump nominee: Well, individuals entered the Capitol.

Blumenthal: You are in fear—how will you have the courage to be fair and impartial?

1. He didn’t have the authority to change the name of The Dept of Defense, and he doesn’t have the authority to change the name of the Kennedy Center.

2. More importantly, he needs to be removed from office. He’s mentally unfit to be president, and he’s a clear & present danger to this country.

Posting this one too.

My senior Senator did a masterful job in calmly and methodically exposing the cult-like commitment Trump judicial nominees have to lying through their teeth in order to please their beloved leader.

Just a sad, embarrassing display.
PAINFUL to watch. There’s a clear Trump judicial nominee loyalty test.

They must forever deny, deny, deny that he lost the 2020 presidential election.

Fragile.

I don’t think I’m being alarmist. If anything, I worry that we’ve become so inured to Trump’s madness that we’re not alarmist enough.

Trump must be removed from office as soon as possible. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-real-threat-of-trumps-madness

Trump & Republicans continue to unfairly punish states like Colorado.

Dismantling research institutions in our state will make it harder to predict wildfires, floods, and extreme weather events.

This short-sighted decision will cost us money, jeopardize lives, and hurt Colorado.

First it was "we have to blow up dozens of people on boats because of fetnanyl." But obviously it wasn't fentanyl being trafficked so then: narco terrorists are shipping cocaine! But then Wiles tells a reporter it's all about regime change and today it's bc US oil companies got kicked out in 2007?

When he lies and says he won the 2020 election, his voters believe him. When he lies and says Haitian migrants are eating cats & dogs, his voters believe him. But when he lies and says the economy is great, his voters don’t believe him bcuz his voters live the economy every day.

There is no question that Donald Trump is the worst person to have ever been elected president. But I think a case can be made that he is the worst person to ever have become famous.

It’s ironic that the same people who applauded DOJ for indicting Jim Comey & Tish James are complaining there was a lack of evidence to search Mar-a-Lago.

Elon Musk said he’d spend less on elections after a falling out with Trump.

He's now reportedly donating to Republicans again ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Musk pulled the strings early on in Trump 2.0.

It now appears that he wants even more influence within the GOP.
What Does Elon Musk Really Want?
