It Can Now Be Plainly Said: Trump Is Planning a November Coup d’État — The New Republic During the campaign, it was kind of hard to picture the specifics of how Trump might pull such a thing off. Alas, it’s getting less hypothetical by the week.

The Democrats Aren’t Built for This — The Atlantic They say they want to save democracy. First they’ll need to get out of their own way.

Food for thought. Don’t agree with everything in the article but worth considering.

Chris Murphy: "I sat with the kids for an hour. They saw things in these prisons they'll never forget. The bottom line is we have a constitutional obligation to only fund an administration that's operating lawfully. We cannot, we should not fund DHS if it committing these crimes."

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

This is in fact one of the things congressional Dems can do - and they're doing it (and have been on this and other topics). Hard to break through, but this one seems to have a bit and even when it doesn't creating a public record is worthwhile.

Tom Homan: "My goal is a complete drawdown and end this surge [in Minneapolis] as soon as we can. But that is largely contingent upon the end of the illegal and threatening activities against ICE in the community."

Translation: The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Redistricting did not turn out how Trump wanted. So, now he is resorting to political prosecutions, ballot seizures and the threat of federal paramilitary to steal the 2026 midterms. He is normalizing the idea that his administration will take over ballot counting. We cannot let that happen.

Frazer Irving Frazer Irving art, prints, comics.

Folks, as of right now the stunningly talented artist Frazier Irving is homeless and needs your help. He hasn’t got a fundraising page because he doesn’t want charity but he is selling pages. Please give his shop a look and buy something that appeals if you can.

I LOVE this guy!!!!

I hope he's wearing a bullet proof vest - cause those are some serious zingers and ICE has thin skin.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

The house is now 218 R to 214 D.

Each Republican member if they had balls would be more powerful than any Senator. But they have to have balls to say no to trump.

But they are ball-less or ball free

As Greg has said here, the store's site has crashed from the traffic/flood of orders. But a GofundMe is still live to help with the store's renovation.
