The story of Trump's first 100 days is a story of mass scale corruption. And we are in a race - either we build a national consensus to denounce and stop it, or Trump normalizes this theft and it just becomes a perk you get as the American President.
I want to share with my followers some insightful analysis of how and why we are failing to defend our democracy from Trump's onslaughts against all our civic institutions. Thomas Edsall wrote a very important NYT op-ed today where he asked several professors to explain
Now available: the Thom Tillis action figure! Talks tough, does nothing. When Trump & Elon call, he folds faster than a deck of cards. (Spine not included)
The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis.
The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall.
1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.
Ask yourself—what’s going to stop the government from deporting you to a prison in El Salvador?
How would you prove it’s an error if you don’t have due process? If it can happen to anyone, it can happen to you.

Sen. @ChuckGrassley (R-IA) exchange with constituents on immigration & border security.
Sen. Grassley says on El Salvador, "The president of that country is not subject to our U.S. Supreme Court."
Constituent: "Trump's not obeying the Supreme Court. He just ignores them."
BREAKING: Thousands of protestors have gathered in Boston and across the country to protest Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the MAGA Republicans. America is standing up to their BS.
It's hilarious to read these comments after MAGA spent much of the Biden years running to the same district court judge in Texas, hoping to get exactly the same kind of nationwide injunctions that they now condemn.
Judicial review for me, but not for thee.
