Donald Trump is the first American presidential candidate to explicitly threaten the democratic system on which a free press depends. That ought to be the campaign issue that dwarves all the rest my new @zeteo_news column zeteo.com/p/as-a-veteran…
Calling all normalizers of extremism and insitutionalized lying and election denial and dictators for a day and coups...it's all just politics as usual I guess...

Gonna take the liberty of speaking for many people who will feel inhibited from saying so themselves: this is really gross.

All of this. We have to understand absolutely everything is on the table. All of it. The Republicans have decided they are going to burn it all down while they can.

I am not concerned about Trump getting 50% of the vote in November. We've seen that his ceiling is about 47% and that isn't going to change. Trump's path to victory is a fractured Democratic coalition that results in Biden not breaking 45%.
Absorb this graph—but note that the final year is 2018, the year of Trump’s tax cuts. That’s Trump’s big goal, always has been: to rip off working people and hand huge bags of cash to the ultra-wealthy, like himself and his Mar-a-Lago buddies.

Really bad. Along with gaslighting Americans-- the police never lost their power-- this is a message to lawless elements of the police, telling them he has their back for whatever crimes they commit. Giving a pass for violence is how dictators build up security forces.

Trump has been conditioning Americans for years to desire authoritarian rule with him as dictator.

This is not a drill. He’s pledging it loudly and proudly. If you’re still voting for Trump after all of this, be clear: you’re voting for fascism and the end of American democracy as we know it. That’s not hyperbole - that’s simply paying attention to his own promises and plans:

Bill Barr endorsing Donald Trump - after everything he’s said about Trump, accused Trump of, attacked Trump for - tells you everything you need to know about the GOP establishment. Everything. Shameless doesn’t do it justice. We have run out of words for these people.
I'm not saying we shouldn't worry about how China might be using TikTok to steal our data and manipulate us... But why aren't we at least as worried about the U.S. billionaires who own the other apps stealing our data and trying to manipulate us?
When inequality and corruption raged in the Gilded Age, we took action: -Antitrust was used to break up monopolies -Taxes were passed to stop wealth hoarding -Corporations were forbidden from directly giving money to politicians and candidates. We can do it all again.
In the 1960s, CEOs made 20 times the pay of their workers. Now, they rake in over 300 times. When people stop believing they have a fair chance to make it, the tacit social contract begins to unravel. That's how a nation becomes susceptible to demagogues like Donald Trump.
The legal group behind the mifepristone lawsuit, Alliance Defending Freedom, made at least six payments from 2018 through 2022 to Allyson Ho, the wife of the judge on the case. It's unclear what they paid her to do. theguardian.com/world/2024/mar…
Between 1978 and 2022: -Worker pay grew by 15% -Top exec pay jumped by 1,209% Major US CEOs are now paid 344 times more than their typical employees. When I say corporate CEOs are exploiting labor, this is what I mean.
Just a thought...
One of the first things Trump’s newly installed cronies at the RNC did was to kill a successful program to recruit minorities into the GOP. They aren’t even trying to hide the fact that they are now the party of white supremacy.
Watch this. Sen. Britt tells this story all the time! She blames Biden for this woman’s plight. It’s a lie. She was trafficked in Mexico before 2008. It has nothing to do with Biden or the border at all. She is either stupid or complete fraud. Which is it @KatieBrittforAL?

Donald Trump is coming to Richmond today for a campaign rally. As our city’s Mayor, I’m here to remind you that Trump’s bigoted message has no place in our city or in our Commonwealth. We will re-elect President Biden in November.
We could give everyone in the United States a free college education and still have $92 billion leftover. Every year. If we’re not going to tax the rich, at the very fucking least collect the taxes they are already supposed to be paying.

So it's not a surprise that he's not committing to accept the results of the 2024 election. But it is a surprise that so many institutions (like Congress, SCOTUS and the FEC) have failed to hold him accountable.
First, the Supreme Court delays Trump’s Jan 6 prosecution. Then Trump-appointed Judge Cannon postpones his trial in Florida. Now this in Georgia. The courts are deliberately delaying justice — and effectively denying it.
JUST IN: Georgia appeals corut has agreed to consider Trump's appeal of the ruling rejecting Fani Willis' disqualification from his criminal case. This is almost certain to significantly delay the potential trial, which was already unsettled. efast.gaappeals.us/download?filin…
