Vance, Musk, Miller and Trump statements about the judiciary may be the most alarming thing they have said to date.

So their biggest Nazi (other than Musk?) in Trump's admin is going to investigate the investigators of Trump's crimes?! I don't know how far people want to take this walks like a duck talks like a duck thing but we are in an ongoing coup for a fascist dictatorship. I hope it fails, can be stopped, of course, but right now only three weeks in it is full steam ahead, slashing through laws and the constitution and threatening to cut essential government services b/c he's a completely venal asshole, basically, but additionally, forced deportations, phony shakedown trade wars, race-baiting like it's the 1950s (Maga!), and threatening imperialist takeover of other independent lands and the people that live there. 2025?! We've frowned on hostile takeovers of foreign peoples since WW2, for one reason because people figured that kind of thinking was how they got into two devastating world wars. At any rate, Trumpers voted for the forced deportations and the anti-DEI race-baiting stuff, no getting around that unfortunate social reality, but they didn't vote for the Doge and I got the impression somewhere they were against Project 2025? Those facts ought to collide eventually; like when they start cutting the social security or medicare. Viva la resistance.

Why do we even have Senate confirmation hearings anymore if the nominees just blatantly lie during the hearings? (See Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Coney Barrett re: precedent, and now Pam Bondi on her "promise" protect DOJ independence.) What a farce.

@raskin.house.gov Please start a class action suit against Musk/Trump as you described on The Weekend! Millions of us are waiting for a leader and event that will bring us together in force.This would generate huge energy and could be a beginning of the end - our SOLIDARITY! Be our Lech Walesa!

To be pedantic - neither Biden nor Trump revoked an ex-presidents "security clearance" - because neither one ever had a security clearance; their access was solely because of their position, while it lasted. They did both revoke security *briefings*.

I've said this before, back in

2016 and since. Stephen

Miller is a snake in the grass.

He was just waiting for his

moment to strike.

Wonder how SCOTUS is

going to feel about the new

verbiage from Trump, Musk,

Vance and others about the

Judiciary, which includes

THEM. Guess we'll find out

how "powerful" the 6 really

are.

Wake me up when the Cheneys, putting their money where their mouths are, have sent in tactical teams. That's our only hope.
