Murphy: "The vast majority of Republicans, their number one priority is Trump seizing power, and the Trump family and the MAGA universe holding power forever ... with the exception of maybe 20 Republicans in the Senate, the GOP inside Congress is done with democracy."

I kind of want to go

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

Bring back art deco trains. I had to take an Amtrak across country and was devastated to find it a glorified bus. No richly upholstered interiors, no first-class dining cars. I did not solve a single murder. How far we have fallen.

call me an alarmist. whatever. but we weren’t wrong when we said he’d never concede an election, and now that he’s back in, its actually reasonable to think he’ll refuse to leave. Trump has now tested the guardrails and found them wanting. he now knows with confidence they will not hold. 🧵 1/11

Trudeau: "We're probably gonna keep booing the American anthem. But let me tell Americans: we're not booing you ... we're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us. And we're insulted ... we're gonna fight. And we're gonna win."

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

Trudeau: "He talked about banking again today in a tweet, which doesn't make any sense because 16 banks are currently active in Canada holding about $113b worth of assets in this country... what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us."

A reminder for these times.

I think about this headline all of the time.

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic. When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

NDP Candidate stepping down to avoid vote splitting. If this were to happen in many more ridings, Ford would be gone for good. #cdnpoli #onpoli #peipoli

Using AI to produce writing or art is like asking someone at the gym to lift weights for you. The effort is the point.

The Framers foresaw this problem and figured legislators' ambition, self-preservation, and self-respect would drive them to act against a tyrant. The Framers didn't expect a majority of Congress would be cowards and fools who cheered it like pigs celebrating the arrival of the butcher.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Our beloved Canada is under threat. The threat comes from the president of the US—a convicted felon and known predator. But the threat is also being driven by the hate algorithms of oligarchs like Elon Musk….

#Andor continues to be relevant.

Jon on Trump's fascist tendencies: "We must be vigilant, but part of vigilance is discernment"

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

The freezing of federal grants, the firing of all inspector generals, the immunization of political violence - does everybody not see what’s happening? In a blitzkrieg, Trump is trying to collapse our democracy - and probably our economy - and seize control. Call it what it is.
