This is exactly how it was designed to be under Project 2025. MAGA have installed their Caesar as was the aim of those who bought him the keys to the White House and are pulling the strings in the shadows.

This is why government no longer functions as intended by the Founding Fathers. Washington is now the headquarters of feudal America where Trump is king (until he isn’t).

Take a listen to Peter Baker from the New York Times, in this trailer for the documentary Trump’s Power and the Rule of law.

#BREAKING: Velshi: “What if I told you this? The Trump administraction had ALREADY spent 50 TIMES that much in taxpayer money to build his ballroom? What if I told you Trump had already taken $50 billion out of the U.S. treasury and spent it, all as part of what looks very much like a pay to play scheme to finance his vanity project? And I’m not making this up, a brand new report from the government watchdog group Public Citizen looked into the private donors who are supposedly funding the Trump ballroom as a gift. Guess what their investigation found? ‘More than half of the publicly identified donors…have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more $50 billion during the past six months.’ The report also found that most of the same companies are also facing federal enforcement actions over alleged wrongdoing and that some have had such actions suspended by the Trump administration since the start of Trump’s second term.”🙄

Marc Elias knows the reputation he has. He knows his strategies have been called “too aggressive.”

He also knows violating norms means protecting democracy.

“I think the only way through Donald Trump in this authoritarian moment of the Republican Party is to show them that we will fight as hard as they do.”

[Sen. Elissa Slotkin @SenatorSlotkin]

Bill Pulte has shown that he will go into Americans' personal records to weaponize the government against people. I have a fundamental problem with someone like that being the Director of National Intelligence, and it should send a shiver down the spine of every American.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Trump is trying to turn every federal grant into a political loyalty test.

Before any grant for things like medical research, housing, public health, and more gets approved, a political appointee would have to sign off that it serves Trump’s personal agenda. If they don’t like what you’re working on, the funding disappears.

The Founding Fathers gave Congress the power of the purse precisely so no president could ever do what Donald Trump is trying to do right now. It is the most fundamental check in our entire system of government, and Republicans are forfeiting it without a fight.

Where on earth are my Republican colleagues on the Appropriations Committee? You and I spent the last year fighting for every single dollar of this funding. Every. Single. Dollar. And you are letting this president TRAMPLE all over Congress and your own job.

NEWSFLASH: SOMEWHAT INTELLIGENT. LMAO!

Hannity to Koppel: "Do you think we're bad for America?"

Koppel: "Yeah."

Hannity tried to gaslight him. Koppel wasn't having it. Hannity's desperate pivot: "We have to give the American people some credit that they're somewhat intelligent..."

Koppel stares, bottom lip drops. You could see every Fox lie from the last 12 years flashing behind his eyes—his face screaming, "They absolutely do not know the difference."

Let's give Sean the benefit of the doubt: his viewers are somewhat intelligent—his words, not mine.

I'm just the messenger.

[Mindcite💥 @Mindcite_US]

Since Trump is unable to bring a receipt of Democrats rigging elections, here's one of Arizona Republicans caught in the act of trying to rig the 2020 election, by signing fake elector forms for Trump.

It would be a shame to keep sharing this and other receipts...

BREAKING: Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed James Talarico:

“I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases. But in my view, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas. 

And unlike Ken, I believe that you, James, believe in unity over division and that you know how to assemble not only Democrats but Independents and Republicans and we need that right now. 

We need unity, we don't need any more division and that's why I'm supporting you.”

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

FYI, this is the guy Republicans trust.

I wanted to provide a European perspective on the words vomited by a racist fascist masquerading as the US Secretary of War standing by the graves of the fallen in Normandy.

The 10,000 bodies of those that never made it home fighting fascism in Europe who lay where he spoke, did NOT die for what America has become under this regime.

He spat on their graves to tell Europe to hate ‘the other’. WE WILL NOT, but we will celebrate in the streets when the regime he represents falls, be assured of that.

To those brave Americans who gave their lives that we may be spared the tyranny of Nazi Germany, we salute you and we WILL NOT fail you and will NEVER FORGET.

My thanks to Tiny Husband for the clip
