Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

‘To Terrorize Americans Into Quiescence’: Reagan Judge Excoriates Trump talkingpointsmemo.com/news/to-terr...

Trump said that he wants a shutdown so that he can get rid of programs the Democrats like and fire Democrats working for the government on three separate occasions today:

“Former Trump campaign manager [Brad Parscale] registers to advocate for Israel *** At least 80% of the content will be ‘tailored to Gen Z audiences across platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, podcasts, and other relevant digital and broadcast outlets.’” 9/30/25 … 1/

Mat Staver says marriage equality led to Charlie Kirk’s murder. Yes, really. He’s blaming Obergefell for everything from mass shootings to “the rise in trans.” It’s disgusting, dangerous, and sadly, not surprising.

this Omarion Hampton run gets both angles. What a monster effort.

Google is blocking AI searches for Trump and dementia

Does anyone care is almost never the right question. People care. The issue is that people don't know what to do.

So politically motivated terminations. Ok. I can work with that.

Donald Trump basically announces that he is declaring war on anyone he deems a Democrat... and one of the leading Democratic Senators, @blumenthal.senate.gov thinks now is the best time for a bipartisan censorship bill that will let MAGA define what content is allowed on the internet. WTF?

The endgame for all of this is constructing a military that will obey orders when ordered to fire on citizens. That's the throughline to half of what Trump is doing.

Today, 33% of all the electricity used in Oregon is attributed to data centers. In Virginia, it’s 37%. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I’m still processing what happened this morning. Is it now the administration’s position that the U.S. military does not observe or adhere to the laws of war?

Re this absurdity on the HUD homepage right now, a federal employee told me: "I'm fucking pissed that I still have to take annual ethics training and Hatch Act training."

Hegseth: "A few months ago I was at the White House when President Trump announced his liberation day for America's trade policy. It was a landmark day. Well, today is another liberation day. The liberation of America's warriors ... you kill people and break things for a living."

Impeach and remove.

It's enough to drive you insane watching the government constantly doing crimes and then calling a press conference to say "The real crime is when people say we're doing crimes, and we have to stop it"

Thanks to fascist voters, pudding-brained non-voters, a broken Congress, and a broken SCOTUS, this rank corruption and authoritarian control of the economy is simply how things work now in the failed state of American. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

We’re living with the consequences of delaying action until conditions are more favorable, they’re already committing war crimes in the Caribbean directly, and consistently aiming martial rhetoric towards people here.

I think people should be alarmed now because waiting until they consolidate enough power to carry out the desires he’s voicing now is a bad idea.

The moment where Hegseth ends his speech and not a single officer claps is the most hopeful thing I have seen in a long time.

New photo shows House Democrats in full attendance to stop government shutdown while the Republican side of the chamber is empty.

There's lots of headline-bait in this opinion. But the headlines are missing the forest for the trees. After 150 pages detailing a constitutional travesty, the judge concludes with how limited his options for addressing it are—& laments that the admin won't just voluntarily comply with his decision

The president just told all of the military's leaders that all Democrats are evil and promised to send the full force of the military into Democratic cities to assault the "enemy within," and there's *still* a chance that Democratic congressmen provide the crucial votes to keep this regime running.

Protests matter. If they didn't, Trump wouldn't be trying to silence them with military force.

The military oath is to the Constitution. Not to the President or the buffoon he has as temporary Secretary of Defense. I know these flag officers will remember that. They've served from 30 to 40 years to attain their rank. They know they'll be held accountable for failing to hold the line.

A baby in Mississippi has died of whooping cough for the first time since 2012. The infant was less than two months old and was not old enough to receive the pertussis vaccine. buff.ly/8epl2QS

So a group of democrats are putting together a response speech to what just happened… right?

I'm skimming, but this paragraph stood out:

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

👀 Just Now -- President Trump in the Oval Office said a government shutdown gives his administration the power to cut benefit programs, which include Social Security and Medicare. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

We are past pretending.

Normalcy bias is a helluva drug

Too many people are convinced the only people who will be in danger, and should be okay with some inherent danger, are the “bad” people who are always targeted by state violence.

There is no next step in the road to authoritarianism - it's just a matter of implementation. Trump declares war on the "enemy within" and his Secretary of War says the crackdown will be illegal and merciless. That's the whole enchilada right there.

If George Washington himself had done this as President, he would have been impeached, removed, prosecuted, and imprisoned. This was one of the greatest fears of the Framers.

Good thing we have an opposition party.

did anybody ask “experts” what they think this means

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

And, it's pretty crucial to remember, they say the enemy is within. The dots connect themselves, friends.
