The Trump administration has rolled out a campaign across departments that draws on images and ideas borrowed from right-wing and white nationalist circles.
@ElizLanders reports.
Donald Trump is a wanna be dictator consolidating power at a frightening pace. This week's newsletter imagines what the 2026 election may look like and the chilling consequences of a Democratic loss. Please read it 👇 https://t.co/KblvEOR7Vb
Citizens. I’m going to say it again. This is fascism. MAGA can cry all you want but this is exactly what every fucking dictator in history wanted. Wake the fuck up.
@TheRickyDavila Instead we have a cruel bully in the office of the presidency doing as much damage, harm, chaos and etc. He and his administration is not making things better for people, our country, the world
Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner, whose outspoken support of abolition nearly cost him is life, was born in Boston on this day in 1811.

National Catholic Reporter on the Al Smith Dinner:
"The real outrage is that Trump, given the public nature and extent of his repulsive record, should be invited to a fundraiser for an organization, Catholic Charities, that has long worked in the trenches to save and transform lives on society's farthest margins. It is tragic that the guest of honor this year will be someone whose personal example and policy wishes are in a collision course with the principles of Catholic social teaching." https://t.co/ZhgzC92qvh
.@elonmusk you are brilliant! @gop leaders today in some states makes illegal to distribute hot food or even water in cold days , to the people waiting to vote for hours….but is legal to do a banana republic show, buying attention and votes with money? Is sad my boy….you have such a potential to unite the world…and you prefer to break it into pieces…I don’t get it…
When I wrote the first front page NYT story on concerns about Trump and the rise of fascism in 2016, it felt hard to believe this was the conversation we were having. Now it is at the heart of the campaign debate two weeks before the election.
During the next two weeks and beyond, you are likely to see on social media and elsewhere counterfeit information, misleading directions, false videos and other deliberate efforts to manipulate the U.S. Presidential election.
Keep alert. Question everything you see and hear.
If the Trump tax cuts for individuals are fully extended beyond this year, the richest 1% of Americans would receive an average tax cut of $45,790.
The poorest 20% would receive a tax cut of just $110.
Nothing will trickle down. Nothing will ever trickle down.
It appears that Trump's BFF Netanyahu has done exactly as Trump wanted and started a regional war in the Middle East in an effort to help Trump win. (And of course to help Netanyahu stay in power as well)
"CBS’s decision [not to fact check] is mostly significant as an indication of how powerful institutions will bend to Trump should he win the presidency. Many are bending already, when he has no official power and is behind in the polls." —@BrianBeutler at https://t.co/XiJCilkh5N
Almost all of the MAGA Twitter influencers are saying America's hurricane relief funds are being sent to Ukraine because Vladimir Putin told them to say it, next question
