To hear Mark Elias say this is no joke. In the context of commentators on American democracy this is as serious as it gets. This man, champion fighter of democracy, not an alarmist, filtered, passions restrained, just told us: DOJ, FBI weaponized, Republicans openly trying to rig elections. 🚨 Fire!

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Trump’s rhetoric has crossed a line — from “Deep State” conspiracy to open fascist playbook. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

MAGA's responding well to Hegseth and Trump 'giving Idaho to the Muslims'

Jeffrey Epstein? Never heard of him. Mike Johnson sent the GOP on vacation during a shutdown to avoid releasing the Epstein Files. Now Donald Trump plays dumb (I think) about them. The coverup is vast and deep. Release ALL the files.

💯Today’s must-read

Pam Bondi didn’t testify; she detonated. Oversight collapsed into insults, lies, and theater, while Republicans clapped like seals and democracy sank one more rung into the abyss. Subscribe. Read. Comment. Share. therealmichaelcohen.substack.com/p/bondi-torc...

This is so true. I engage with Trump’s base every day. 4yrs & 9mo’s after that horrible day, almost every one of them believes what’s written here. Most now believe Jan 6 was “righteous.”👇

Donald Trump is setting not just the federal government against one of the states, but pitting armed soldiers from one state against the citizens of another. This is an emergency. And so, an emergency Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

If anyone has any internal DOJ memoranda opining on the merits of charging Jim Comey, please send it to me and I may or may not provide it anonymously to the press. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

THIS FRIDAY AT FLAPPERS IN BURBANK CA! And STREAMING FOR MY PATREON AND YOUTUBE MEMBERS!

All of MAGA, and all those conservatives who continue to attack the left for stoking division will continue to completely ignore the division their dear leader stokes every time he opens his mouth. He is the most divisive person in American history.👇

Trump Administration is erasing history and data it doesn’t like in our national parks. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

👇

Rep. Jasmine Crockett just did an absolutely brilliant job on Kasie Hunt's CNN show explaining why it's fair to describe Donald Trump as authoritarian and why it's nonsense to say that saying this promotes violence. She's clearly got a lot of brain processing power, I must say.

Coming up on MSNBC at 5:30pm ET. Tune in.

IMHO The continued attack on Soros is hard to square with the Administration’s protestations that it’s against anti-semitism (its justification for attacking Harvard and other academics institutions). Pick a lane. Or is the plan to say you’re against anti-semitism until it’s useful to engage in it?

Guns & The Guard: What’s the Problem? My latest Substack video is now available: substack.com/@frankfigliu...

Donald Trump is going to turn National Guard groups against the American people.

Pritzker gets it.

At one level, it’s comical. Donald Trump is the biggest crybaby in human history. But at another level, it’s dangerous. He continues to use the powers of his office to intimidate, harass, threaten, defund, and try to destroy the livelihoods of individuals and companies. Do not normalize this.👇

If DOJ has evidence of criminal conduct by Kilmar Abrego Garcia, why are they deporting him without a trial? www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

“Instead, the FBI enlisted the local police and stormed Bolton’s house at dawn. To send a message. Not to Bolton. But to the rest of us. If you are not nice to President Trump, he will bring the full force of the state down upon your life.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

@monacharen.bsky.social on the Bolton raid: "It is just an obvious attempt to, use the power of the state in a completely corrupt and, and unjustifiable fashion...This is becoming the kind of country that you have to flee from if you're a critic of the government."

This is not a false alarm! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Bj4QGJ/

"We have this happen in the Industrial Revolution over 40 years, 50 years; the Agricultural Revolution, again, that was multi-decades. This one will happen in a decade." Jason Calacanis talks job markets, automation, and AI with @timmiller.bsky.social in the latest Bulwark Podcast:

Trump Takeover of DC Police Legally Invalid On its face, the Executive Order says the stated reason is "the precipitous rise in violent crime" in DC. DOJ's own statements are that DC violent crime has dropped to 30 year low (and dropped more since). youtu.be/VLIwlDPNGh0?...

Yall look at this I found on other app. What the hell?

Imagine seeing videos of Maxwell and court evidence videos of older men sexually abusing children and saying oh yeah we are gonna cut a deal with these people. #TrumpProtectsPedofiles

Let’s just take a moment to thank Donald Jr for his clear eyed, and steadfast determination to get answers with Epstein. He says to ask ourselves DAILY what SCUM would be against disclosure and truth? Hmmm….

What if J.D Vance and Rupert Murdoch conspired to take out Trump? Short fiction for your reading pleasure. open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

This is the economic version of “don’t listen to Stormy, I do not have a tiny mushroom dick!”

💯

The story about Colbert being cancelled because…. Trump doesn’t like him, should be a warning shot to everyone. The oligarchy has the power… they will use their money to silence you. Time to rise up.

This is Donald Trump this morning. There’s really no other way to put this. Trump thinks his supporters are really stupid. He thinks his supporters are idiots. He has zero respect for his supporters.👇

2. The only man capable of destroying the massive pedophile ring they’ve been hearing about for years. Ridiculous as that may sound, and whether they truly believed it, or just used it to defend their vote, it’s gone.

1. MAGA is freaking out over the Epstein files because it was the ONE thing they could use to ‘rationalize’ their devotion to Trump. All the horrendous actions and cruelty would be worth it because he was the savior, chosen by God, to save our children.

You've been conned.

Grateful for the invites onto Piers Morgan, Bill Maher, and Chris Cuomo's shows this week. My focus is reaching outside of the liberal bubble and doing the hard work of persuasion in front of new (or even hostile) audiences.

Wow – an A+ from America’s premier foremost constitutional law professor. Thank you so much, @tribelaw.bsky.social !
