Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.

This is an account close to the Iranian leadership. We are now seeing the shape of why Iran agreed so enthusiastically to this "ceasefire".

They will control and toll the Strait for the first time. They keep their nuclear program. They keep their missiles.

What a disaster.

Here’s another thing: people say trumps words are “just words.” But his clear public panic visa vis constant truth social posts, made it clear the the regime he was panicking and they could wait him out.

Had he STFU, we very well maybe in a different spot.

Search warrants show California ballot seizure echoed Fulton County election raid The newly unsealed warrants also raise questions about why law enforcement officers were able to seize ballots unchecked by either the courts or the officials responsible for protecting them.

Newly unsealed search warrants in the California ballot seizure case paint a chilling picture of how the types of anti-voting conspiracy theories weaponized by the White House to investigate the 2020 presidential election can be used to target elections on a state and local level.

Literally a hole in the ground countries and corporations can throw bribes into

Prime Minister Sanchez:

“.. Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.” 🇪🇸

BRUSUELAS: “.. we are revising down our forecast for U.S. [GDP] for 2026 from 2.4% to 1.7%

“.. households will prioritize spending on necessities like food and gasoline ..

“.. there is a 30% probability of a recession over the next 12 months, up from 20% before the war.”

The TACO Trade is quite real. 🌮

Over the 300-plus trading sessions since Trump took office, “9 of the 10 biggest gains have had to do with relief over tariffs or Iran. Owning stocks on just those days would have earned an investor 52% on their money ..”

Trump seems to have pretty much unconditionally surrendered, so I guess he was telling the truth here after all.

Miles Taylor: "We’re just three people away from stopping Trump’s madman meltdown. Three. That’s the number of House Republicans who — if they chose to act — could change history. Right now. By demanding he step down, voting to impeach, or flipping control of the House."

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Trump lost this war in every possible sense — morally, legally, politically, economically, reputationally, and strategically.

In a sane world, in a world of accountability, the man who incited a deadly insurrection five years ago never would have been able to hold public office again. That reckless, abusive man needs to be removed from office. Now.

WATCH: How pro-democracy activists fought off GOP gerrymandering in Utah “As long as there are threats against democratic processes we believe in, we’ll still be around in fighting for those things,” one organizer said.

Lieu: "I want the White House to send Kevin Hassett to every single TV channel and to every single swing House district where he can tell the voters of America that hurting consumers is 'the last of our concerns.'"

He doesn’t understand Article 5

Hey everyone remember this tweet from a week ago?

Tell me again how this is going exactly as planned?

Reminder: DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

We’ve seen this disastrous playbook before – it’s a lot easier to get into a war in the Middle East than it is to get out of one. Does Trump have any idea at all on how to end this?

Things are not okay.

As we start a new week, here is what Democracy Docket is tracking for you:

Afghan asylum-seeker dies after less than 24 hours in ICE custody Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal, 41, a father of six who worked with the U.S. military in Afghanistan, had no known health iss

After working with the U.S. military in Afghanistan, Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal died in the country he spent years of his life helping.

The cruelty is endless.

As though we needed any more evidence that Fox "News" is a mendacious propaganda machine and not remotely a serious journalistic enterprise.

Still, this is pretty astounding.
