How Hitler seized power:
1. Create a crisis.
2. Demonize opponents.
3. Declare a state of emergency.
4. Undermine elections.
5. Make the rule of law irrelevant.
6. Rule by decree.
If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.
Donald Trump has eviscerated our institutions, defied the rule of law, ignored court orders, and fancies himself a king.
All while his billionaire buddies spread through the government like locusts and put public services that serve tens of millions of people at risk.
And it’s all to put more money in the pockets of billionaires like Elon Musk.
Democrats are fighting back to expose what they’re doing.
On Tuesday, Senate Democrats will investigate the Trump-Musk attack on American consumers.
I'm inviting Elon Musk. He owes the American people answers on why he’s trying to shut down the financial cop on the beat that prevents big corporations from cheating Americans.
We are witnessing a very sad moment in American history.
The President of the United States is aligning himself with the dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to undermine the independence of Ukraine and its democracy.
Here are my thoughts:
The oligarchs' nightmare is that we will not allow ourselves to be divided up.
Their worst fear is that we will come together and have the courage to take them on.
It won't be easy. They control the government & own the media.
But we cannot despair. We will fight. We will win.
I have a message for Trump supporters:
First, focus not on what he says, but what he does.
Second, if you believe in the Constitution, you cannot support the richest guy in the world unilaterally cutting programs that were authorized by Congress.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk going after the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau tells you everything you need to know about their priorities.
Instead of lowering prices on "day one" as Trump said, he's raising costs on families by letting Wall Street cheat them.
The Founding Fathers of this country created the longest standing democracy on earth and millions of Americans fought and died to preserve it.
Trump is betraying their vision and moving us to authoritarianism.
Stand tall. Defend democracy. We will win.
Oligarchs are waging a war on the working class, and they are intent on winning.
But this is what I know:
The worst fear that the ruling class in this country has is that Americans come together to demand a government that represents all of us, not just the wealthy few.
We are living in a dangerous and unprecedented moment in American history.
I’m getting a lot of calls from people who are not only upset about what’s happening, but are wondering how we best go forward.
