I’m starting to piece things together

[Sam Stein @samstein]

Just to get a sense of how off-kilter our politics has become. Just TODAY we have:

* an expose revealing our HHS Sec "still uses psychedelics, and even smoked dimethyltryptamine."

* a report that the Dept FBI Director wasn't given a background check

* a report that Michael Flynn may get a $50m settlement???

* The president sic-ing the DOJ—overtly—on Democrats tied to a sex predator that he himself is tied to

* The Attorney General happily agreeing to his request

* A report that the DHS sec sent millions in ad contracts to a firm tied to her

* A congressman alleging that Trump's wanna-be assassin may have been "groomed"

[Matthew Miller @matthewamiller]

The Justice Department we have long known is dead. As in many authoritarian states, it now exists as an arm of the government to punish the president’s enemies, regardless of the law. A tragedy for the country with lasting implications, even if this case is dismissed.

[Ned Price @nedprice]

On a single Saturday in September:

--Trump instructed his AG to go after specific political enemies.
--We learned that his DOJ ended an investigation into his border czar, who was caught on camera taking a $50k cash bribe.
--His Pentagon top brass threatened to expel journalists who report info not cleared by them.
--His WH spoke to a shady deal that will see TikTok in the hands of a consortium of GOP mega-donors.
--Trump threatened "bad things" if we don't re-take Bagram AFB.
--His most senior counterterrorism official is in a Twitter spat with Laura Loomer.

None of this is normal. All of it is so dangerous and corrosive to our democracy.

The countries where comedians can't mock the leader on late night TV are not really ones you want to live in.

This is the most straightforward attack on free speech from state actors I've ever seen in my life and it's not even close.

Trump holding up a gold card with his face on it: For $5 million, this can be yours

[. @GregTSargent]

A note on JD Vance's repulsive response to the deportation of a Salvadoran in "error": The whole point of his stunt is to show that Trump feels free to remove people even when the law *doesn't* justify it.

I spoke to the man's lawyer. Hair raising stuff:

[Meryl Kornfield @MerylKornfield]

There seems to be some confusion on here about the Musk staffers. Big Balls isn't the one who posted about hating Indians and wanting to wipe Israel and Gaza "off the face of the Earth." Big Balls is the one who was fired from a cybersecurity firm for leaking data.

This is four minutes of Barack Obama being both completely fed up with the shenanigans and very effective.
