No dictator arises on his own. He does it with the help of institutions that either fold or actively help. The Supreme Court is actively helping, by granting Trump outrageously broad & unreviewable executive authority. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Josh Hawley is exhibit #1 of what it means to have a cult leader in charge. He voted to blow up Medicaid & ACA — after vocally saying he was opposed to doing so — & now he’s complaining about it. He had power to stop this disaster. He chose not to because the leader insisted.
Q: Some of the ACA tax credits are set to expire at the end of the year. How important is it for Republicans to stop that from happening? HAWLEY: Well, if we don't, the cost of insurance is just going to explode. Explode for families, working people. Already the premium…
The “we’re all going to die” Senator is now doing her best Chardonnay-fueled anti-high-speed-rail rant.
The California crazy train is coming to a squealing halt!🐷🚂
Great day for democracy: Johnson shuts down Congress. Trump drones on endlessly about putting Obama in prison. All to change the subject & shield Trump from accountability for being associated with a pedophile network. Fascists gonna fascist.
Trump: "Barack Hussein Obama is the ringleader. Hillary Clinton was right there with him and so was Sleepy Joe Biden, Comey, Clapper. They tried to rig an election and they got caught. And then they did rig the election in 2020. And then because I knew I won that election by a…
I have no issue with Coke shifting to cane sugar & away from high fructose corn syrup. I *do* have an issue with companies making decisions based on whether Trump wakes up needing a diversion from his Epstein mess & thus posts shit on Truth. Oligarchy & kleptocracy are real.
They’re not just blowing up Medicaid. They took a huge swing at the ACA too, eliminating subsidies & exploding premiums. CA’s successful exchange Covered California insures 2M middle & low income people. 600K are projected to drop coverage due to cost. calmatters.org/health/2025/07…
As Trump deflects from his pedophile ring affiliation & threatens to arrest President Obama, let’s recall that, unlike Trump, Obama is a vocal supporter of zoning reform & making it easier to build homes. Obama & Dems want to solve problems. Trump & his cult want to cause them.
Criminals love calling other people criminals. Fascists thrive on targeting the opposition for prison. And associates of pedophile networks love changing the story away from their own criminality.
Next stage of the fascist takeover: Referrals to the Department of Justice to target President Obama, members of his Administration & federal judges. Why? Because they had the gall to investigate Putin’s effort to elect Trump in 2016. Their deranged gaslighting has no limits.
BARTIROMO: Do you expect indictments and prosecutions? GABBARD: In my view, yes, we have evidence to be able to move forward to prosecute and indict those responsible BARTIROMO: I want to put a spotlight on those responsible -- Barack Obama, John Brennan, James Clapper ...
Amazing night market in the Castro this evening. And this night market is also an entertainment zone — under a law I authored — which means people can buy drinks in bars & drink them on the street. Great for our small businesses, great for the community.
Trump is the pro-pedophile President: Pardoning child predators, hiding the Epstein Files & lord knows what else. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
With Colton's conviction, that makes FOUR pardoned January 6th insurrectionists who have faced charges for solicitation of a minor or child sex abuse of some kind.
Just because I mean, who needs scientific research anyway?
