@tribelaw trump's mindset fits right in with Project 2025, which reflects views of Curtis Yarvin. There is background there & musk/Vance/thiel connection. Read Democracy is Done: The Rise of Corporate Monarchy by Shane Almgren on substack.

Just as Hitler rose from the ashes and grievances of World War I, it looks like Trump’s dream is to reduce the United States to rubble so that he can turn what’s left of our once great country into his base of aggressively expansionist operations in alliance with Vladimir Putin and a few oligarchs.

BREAKING: In case you are wondering why the DOW just plunged another 400 POINTS, it's because:

- Trump just raised Steel and Aluminum tariffs on Canada to 50%
- Trump said that Canada can have the tariffs removed if they become the 51st state.
- Trump threatened massive tariffs on Canadian Automobiles on April 2nd.
- Trump Threatens to declare a National Emergency because of Canadian electricity tariffs.

In other words, he's destroying our economy.

@TheBeatWithAri Ppl keep asking why trump/musk are waging an assault on our govt. We know about Project 2025 but the goals reflect the views of Curtis Yarvin. There is a musk/Vance/thiel connection. See Democracy is Done: The Rise of Corporate Monarchy by Shane Almgren, substack

Read this excerpt from the devastating brief just filed by Perkins Coie, through the advocacy of Williams & Connolly, against the indefensible Trump Order punishing Perkins Coie:

“The Order is an affront to the Constitution and our adversarial system of justice. Its plain purpose is to bully those who advocate points of view that the President perceives as adverse to the views of his Administration, whether those views are presented on behalf of paying or pro bono clients.
Perkins Coie brings this case reluctantly. The firm is comprised of lawyers who advocate for clients; its attorneys and employees are not activists or partisans. But Perkins Coie’s ability to represent the interests of its clients—and its ability to operate as a legal-services business at all—are under direct and imminent threat. Perkins Coie cannot allow its clients to be bullied.
The firm is committed to a resolute defense of the rule of law, without regard to party or ideology, and therefore brings this lawsuit to declare the Order unlawful and to enjoin its implementation. [¶¶]
Because the Order in effect adjudicates and punishes alleged misconduct by Perkins Coie, it is an unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers. Because it does so without notice and an opportunity to be heard, and because it punishes the entire firm for the purported misconduct of a handful of lawyers who are not employees of the firm, it is an unconstitutional violation of procedural due process and of the substantive due process right to practice one’s professional livelihood.”

Amen!

@TimothyDSnyder I posted a query to you a bit ago but wrongly attributed an article to Steve Lafreniere. It was an excerpt from an article on substack by Shane Almgren, Democracy is Done: The Rise of Corporate Monarchy. Would love your thoughts on this.

TWEEPS: If trump is able to kill our public schools and the Dept of Education, our kids will be as dangerously dumb as he is.

Can we get 1,000 fast RTs and replies using the hashtag #DontDefundPublicSchools so it trends on Twitter?

Please and thank you!🙏💪

[Doug Jones @DougJones]

I know folks are frustrated with Dems responses right now.

Here’s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings.

I love town halls but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them.

Make it real.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

This is a moment that calls for courage, not cowardice. Do or do not. There is no try. History will judge accordingly. So will the American people.

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

Why would a Putin puppet want to spy on the puppet master? Trump’s decision to look the other way while Putin messes with our safety and security is hardly surprising. Shocking, yes; surprising, no.

[Shelley @bookworm474]

@TimothyDSnyder Would love yr thoughts on article by Steve Lafreniere re: the Musk/Vance connection & what Musk's goal is- to destroy our democracy. It seems like a conspiracy theory but the article is very detailed & he ties all the threads together. Article is on his Fb pg. TY
