The American people voted for CRUELTY, CORRUPTION, and INCOMPETENCE.

We know the things he's done, and know who he surrounds himself with. We heard his promises and threats. And still, we decided to give him unchecked power.

[Janet Mills @JanetMillsforME]

Thirty years of concern. Never enough courage.

[Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump]

Donald has been posting unhinged, incoherent ramblings for a decade now, but his recent threats against sovereign nations bring us into totally new and dangerous territory.

Instead of asking Republicans if they support Donald’s policies, it’s time to start asking them why they continue to back a man who is so obviously out of his mind.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

Trump‘s new gigantic temper tantrum over Norway is deep into 25th Amendment territory.

Hell, at this point? 25th Admt territory is far in the rearview mirror and we are descending further into madness by the moment.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

The entire world knows we have a president who's mentally ill. When are we as a nation going to start talking about that?

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

No, we did not teach cases at the Naval War College where the president loses his last grip on reality and wants plans to start wars against our own allies. Amazingly, we did not think we had to design cases about a POTUS in a de facto alliance with the Kremlin to destroy NATO.

Here is Vladimir Zhirinovsky saying the exact same thing as Fiona Hill in November 2020: "He will take Venezuela, we will take Ukraine. And he will say to everyone: Look... Venezuela. Tomorrow I will take Cuba."

Trump’s billionaire allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch.

They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets.

They control the AI you're asking for answers, the algorithms feeding you content, your personal data you've given up for access, and the devices you rely on.

The news and your privacy are now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

This is all by design.

The oil companies were informed about an act of war before it happened, Congress was not.

That, my friends, is what an authoritarian regime run by oligarchs looks like.

James Carville on Venezuela: “Never ever underestimate what Trump will do to draw attention away from Jeffrey Epstein and the fact we’re getting ready for average people to be plunged into health insurance they can’t pay while we run up $3T in debt”

[Vera Bergengruen @VeraMBergen]

"Two people close to the WH said the president’s lack of interest in boosting Machado...stemmed from her decision to accept the Nobel Peace Prize, an award the president has openly coveted.

“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today." https://t.co/f4En6p6TBf

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

So far, the ICE gang has shot & killed an unarmed man & lied about the circumstances; shot a woman 5 times for obstructing their vehicle; roughed up elderly women and zip-tied small children; shot a clergyman in the face with a pepper ball; marched through downtown Chicago, masked and armed.
And they're NOT going after the "worst of the worse," as promised. Most of the people they're snagging have clean records. Some are citizens.
To be clear: this is NOT making Chicago safer. It's state-sponsored mayhem; dangerous political theater calculated to provoke.

[Popular Liberal 🇺🇸 @PopularLiberal]

BOOM! Chicago priest Fr. Michael Pfleger just DROPPED a holy firebomb on Trump—slamming the tyrant-in-chief in 10 brutal ways over his illegal National Guard threats!

"The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president & his admin's reign of terror."

MLK nailed it: "I could never raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed without first speaking to the greatest purveyor of violence: my own government."

Time to rise up—truth over tyranny!

[Tim O'Brien @TimOBrien]

“Let’s be clear about what just happened: Jimmy Kimmel, a prominent late-night comedian, was just taken off the airwaves because the Trump administration didn’t like what he had to say — and threatened his employer until they shut him up.” https://t.co/dAlZGWi5v5

In a non-fascist society, advocating for euthanizing the homeless would get him fired.

Apparently not content to wipe out hundreds of thousands of American jobs, DOGE is now putting Russian computer hackers out of work by personally giving our data directly to the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin!

[Lawrence H. Summers @LHSummers]

Any self-respecting Treasury Secretary would resign rather have the Department be complicit in the weaponization of the IRS against a political adversary of the President. Harvard will endure and it is far, far from perfect, but if this directive is not withdrawn, the Administration will have taken another substantial step away from the rule of law and democracy.

ProPublica is a nonprofit newsroom. We get much of our revenue from donations. Support independent, investigative news by making a donation at any amount to ProPublica today. https://t.co/uLtBVg3RMz

[Lawrence H. Summers @LHSummers]

Important new analysis from @NatashaRSarin and @The_Budget_Lab suggest to me that DOGE’s IRS cuts could easily cost the federal government close to a trillion dollars over the next decade that may well exceed any cuts in spending that prove feasible and judiciously sustainable. 1/3 https://t.co/1Ib0GxqNtL
