Departments run by bumbling apparatchiks, brazen corruption, public stakes in private firms, ceremonies to present the leader fake awards, servile state media, prosecutors installed to target political foes. If we're going soviet, might as well have the tiny shitty cars too.

Amazing. the person who prosecuted Hernandez's brother as part of the scheme that Leavitt now is saying was "lawfare" by Biden's overzealous prosecution was Emil Bove! https://t.co/3v1zfuGPbI

Shout out to @gibsonoma for one of the best and most important interviews we could have at this time! I’ve already sent this interview to so many people to prove the parallels we see between reality tv behaviors and behaviors in politics these days. A must listen! #Bravo

There has always been this odd little mystery - the mathematician Kurt Gödel claimed he had found a "loophole" in the Constitution to legally turn the US into a dictatorship. The story goes that Gödel explained his theory to his pals Albert Einstein and Oskar Morgenstern, who

In a way, it's beautiful. On the scale of years, Trump's health care plan is delayed by years. On the scale of months, it's delayed by months. On the scale of weeks, it's delayed by weeks. I bet their internal meetings even start late.
NEW: White House to delay healthcare proposal after significant congressional backlash. According to two White House officials the announcement has been delayed, with one of those officials citing strong congressional backlash to Trump’s proposed plan. Trump planned to make an

What were your assurances from RFK Jr. worth? What did being so credulous get you? What a terrible shame this all is.
I’m a doctor who has seen people die from vaccine-preventable diseases. What parents need to hear right now is vaccines for measles, polio, hepatitis B and other childhood diseases are safe and effective and will not cause autism. Any statement to the contrary is wrong,

There is no insurrection or sedition without the use of force. Disobeying a lawful order is insubordination, not insurrection or sedition. Disobeying an unlawful order is required. That is all.

Trump's reaction has made it VERY clear that their message was right and important. Our military serves the country, not Trump, and saying so has sent him into a murderous revenge spiral!
A joint statement from myself @SenMarkKelly, @RepJasonCrow, @RepDeluzio, @RepGoodlander and @RepHoulahan. “We are veterans and national security professionals who love this country and swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath lasts a

The more Trump is seen as a lame duck, the more it looks like his power over Republicans is slipping, the more we'll have to worry about how he deals with being cornered and weak. It was true after he lost in 2020, will be true in a different way now.
Trump, who says he's against political violence, is spending the morning calling for members of Congress to be hung or put to death for saying the military should ignore unlawful orders.

Hey everybody. The last 48 hours have been really hard. I've faced relentless harassment from folks who seem to have forgotten that before we're Democrats or Republicans, we're all just humans. Hi! Human being over here! lol But do you what's even tougher than facing these
Should members of congress play games with their retirement announcements in order to hand pick their successors instead of letting voters choose? No. But with democracy under threat, it is not the time to point this out.

Utterly disgraceful. Once again, for the friends of Trump there is no law. For the enemies of Trump, there is no safety.

Exclusive: Jamal Khashoggi’s widow, Hanan, sends me her response to Trump: “This is not justification to murder him. While Jamal was a good, transparent and brave man, many may not have agreed with his opinions and desire for freedom of the press.”
Imagine your friend or family was brutally murdered by a foreign government and you hear the President of the United States say shit like this as he sits next to the perpetrator and praises him.

a remarkable scene on the House floor. After the House rejects a Democratic motion to table the resolution condemning @RepChuyGarcia, Republicans have largely left the floor. Democrats are left by themselves debating and squabbling over the motion
