“... removing Trump will not remove the infrastructure of an entire party that embraced him; the dark money that funded him, the online radicalization that drummed his army: nor the racism he amplified and reanimated” -- AOC<a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/civics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#civics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/resist" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#resist</a>"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always." -- Gandhi

"Trump claimed in his recent speech that U.S. intelligence agencies discovered Chinese interference in the 2020 election but deliberately concealed it from him. Yet Ratcliffe was the gatekeeper deciding what Trump saw and didn't see during that exact period, Rohde noted." https://www.rawstory.com/ratcliffe-cia-trump/ The algae growing in the swamp is asking for $1.15 Trillion. 1,015,000,000,000.00 is this right? or should it be $150,000,000,000,000.00? I can't get my head...

"Trump... consolidating power... Political scientist, Donald Moynihan... argues that Trump has been very successful in dominating the federal bureaucracy, the military, and the legal system." Businesses, the media, universities, and other parts of civil society largely bowed... last year... but have been more resistant in 2026. Where Trump has been least successful, according to the professor, is in controlling the U.S. election system." https://newrepublic.com/article/213032/...

"The WSJ reported that Trump told staff in a private meeting that he’d “pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval.” Another person told the Journal that the president said he’d pardon anyone who came within 10 feet. In fact, White House aides reported that Trump makes the claim quite often in meetings." https://newrepublic.com/post/208967/trump-promises-pardon-everybody

&quot;I think what we’re seeing is 11-year-olds with the most powerful military in the entire world, which is a pretty scary thing to see in action. &quot;Netanyahu is just in a position where he’s going to get as much leverage over Trump and as much influence over Trump as possible. And Trump, being really kind of a child about foreign policy, is just going to be easily swayed.&quot; https://newrepublic.com/article/207253/transcript-trump-hit-damning-iran-leaks-polls-turn-brutal-...

&quot;Though Trump will probably be able to use other authorities to reimpose some of these tariffs, Lincicome says, those will face statutory limits, and Trump now must refund $175B in revenues + interest. “Trump’s still going to be able to do tariffs,” Lincicome tells me. “But he’s going to have to follow a lot more rules, and it will curtail his ability to impose tariffs on a whim. The need to refund will be a bureaucratic mess and a significant fiscal hit to his agenda.” https://newrepub...
