This must never happen here. Not here. Not in America. The military is not used here against our own citizens. That happens in authoritarian countries. Not here. Trump wants it to happen here. We must not normalize it. We must never accept it. Plus, my conversation with Gen Z-er Rachel Janfaza

I sat down with long time Democratic activists Mark Mansour to discuss the threat that is Trump and MAGA and what Democrats need to do to be a strong, effective opposition party. Interesting conversation.

Trump’s greatest legacy is the destruction of truth. Always has been. And we’re seeing it play out every day - lying about election results, jobs numbers, his approval rating, crime statistics, and now he’s moving to lie about American history. We can’t give up. We have to engage in hand to hand combat to defend the truth. We can’t give up.

BTW, the actual data, you remember what data is, right? The actual data shows DC isn’t even in the top 20 of most violent cities in America. Also, it’s time for the military, law enforcement, and government officials to say no to Trump. Their duty is to defend the Constitution, the law, not a mad king. We all are going to have to say no.

It’s easy, so easy, to get down. Because every day he says and does 1,000 cruel, un-American fascist things. Like today. Threatening to take over DC. But don’t get down. Resolutely call out what he’s doing today, and then stay the course. Be a happy warrior. Pace yourself. Democracy will win. Fascism will lose.

It’s been true from when he was first elected that Americans cannot support both Trump AND the Constitution. It’s impossible. Because Trump is utterly lawless and attacks the Constitution every single day. His attack on the census and the apportionment process is just the latest example of this basic truism that you can’t support both Trump AND the Constitution.

I sat down with human rights lawyer Qasim Rashid. We generally agree on what ails the Democratic Party, we disagree on some economic issues, and we most definitely disagree on the Israel/Palestinian issue. But we sat down and had a respectful conversation. Good stuff.

I sat down with whistleblower and author Lev Parnas, to discuss all things Trump. Lev has unique insight, having been on the inside of the Trump machine. He’s seen it all. And then he turned on it all and is doing all he can now to defeat Trump and help preserve our democracy. Fascinating conversation.

Turn on Fox News right now and they’re STILL going off on the whole Sydney Sweeney “thing.” The right is trying so damn hard to keep whatever this culture war is over genetics and a pair of jeans alive. This is what the right does. With ANY potential culture war. I used to do some of it. Democrats shouldn’t ignore it. They need to call it out.

Because Texas Republicans are engaging in undemocratic cheating, Texas Democrats have fled the state, to deny Republicans a quorum. They need are support. This will cost them financially and they could get arrested. We must stand with them and support them.
