NEW: When Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election, the institutional guardrails of American democracy held.
But if faced with the same tests today, those barriers — and people who held the line — would largely be missing.

Remove the president
Are you going to impeach the president today? No?
Then you do, in fact, support making a whole civilization die.
A country where Flag Officers are dismissed on the whim of a president or a secretary of Defense -- and where it's tolerated by those in a position to stop it -- is a country in decline
men famously change genders to compete in women sports which is where all the money and support is

Mmm hopefully posting photos will be part of this lost bet…..?
For every home run at the World Baseball Classic, Italian players take a shot of espresso ☕
And now, they're customizing the dugout's espresso machine by adding the players' numbers for every homer hit.

I’m so sorry Jon. I’m thinking of you and your family.
Right, how uncool is it to party with the head cop of the country?
“Mr. Beast Salesforce ad” - they’re calling it the least appealing phrase ever assembled in any language. They finally did it

A nurse. A researcher. A helper.
Alex Jeffrey Pretti, the man fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday, was a U.S. citizen with no criminal record, an official said. He was a registered nurse who worked in the intensive-care unit at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Minneapolis. nyti.ms/4t3ekJW
And what are they learning? Experts on the formation of internal security services in authoritarian regimes point to a sense of impunity as a warning sign. Regime officials abuse their power when they know they will be protected, and even praised, for doing so. Over the course of weeks and months, we have seen images of DHS officials abusing American citizens and immigrants alike, including killing them. What we do not hear is regime officials calling for credible investigations into such abuses, or even expressing any concerns. Renee Good’s killer was announced innocent, and both Good and her wife was instead the subject of an investigation, a perversion of justice so obvious that an FBI agent and half-dozen career Department of Justice prosecutors assigned to Minnesota resigned.
What we are watching is a paramilitary force learning that they can kill with impunity, that the regime will smear the victim and defend them. Unless politicians and the legal system exerts accountability, it will not stop. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...
ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

ICE not allowing agents to have unsupervised copies of ICE policies or to take any notes is an admission by ICE that it knows the policies are illegal.
Let tonight be a lesson to all of us: Make sure you have established your own, and are aware of your loved ones', advance directives.
Do you want to be awakened from your slumber when It Happens? Or do you want to find out when you awake naturally and unlock your phone? Let your loved ones know.
All it would take is for a bunch of these CEOs to confront Trump in front of the world and tell him he's unfit to run a hot-dog stand, and his presidency would be over. Seriously.
But none of them has the balls to do it.
I posted the attached letter this morning. I do not have Becca Good's address, and so I sent it via @timwalzparody.bsky.social, I hope he and the Legislature of the great state of Minnesota take its contents under advisement.
Let our law be a memorial.
Crockett: "Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6, I do want to be clear: somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful."

Still up. Glad I posted here and not YouTube. This is what Bari Weiss and CBS tried to hide from us.
Here it is
Sen. Jack Reed: "I must remind everyone that we follow the law of war, and because of that, we expect other countries. So that when our service members are in distress, they're not shot up in the water or if they're wounded, left to die. If we don't do it, then we can't expect other countries."
