So Republican leadership is coming to Democrats, hat in hand, asking for help." Just say no.

@Scienceisnotopinions @CatDragon @JonChevreau yes, they do, and they don't care.

We've always had a hard time getting them involved in our union because they see themselves are kinda above it all. I hope it's a wake-up call. Fascism comes for all of us.

This is enormously important and should be the main focus of any pressure we direct at Congressional Dems, especially the moderates and blue dogs.

The Gleeful Profiteers of Trump’s Police State – Mother Jones https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/02/palantir-alex-karp-trump-private-prisons-profiteers/ "Palantir’s stock soared this week as its CEO cheerfully screamed, “We’re doin’ it,” on an investor call—clarifying that “it” includes “on occasion” killing people."

The Elite Lawyers Working for Elon Musk’s DOGE Include Former Supreme Court Clerks https://www.propublica.org/article/elon-musk-doge-lawyers-supreme-court It's essential to identify who these people are, what they look like so they become recognizable figures.

Yup

@flexghost He did the same with the pandemic. Refusing aid to blue states, stealing the supplies blue states governors got for their constituents, and save all the resources for the red states. He and Jared were ok letting people in blue states die.

Judge Cannon Hands Trump a Major Win on Day Two of His Presidency https://newrepublic.com/post/190484/judge-cannon-trump-win-jack-smith-report "Cannon on Tuesday blocked the Justice Department from sharing special counsel Jack Smith’s final report on Trump’s classified documents case with select members of Congress."
