We need to get moving soon before Trump’s goons really get organized. We all know what’s happening. It’s right in front of us. Don’t count on an election happening in 2028.
Yes Ann, there must be a coordinated strategy to crush this attack, they have all abdicated their oaths to The Constitution and betrayed their constituency. This notion of '26 or '28 is a fantasy. Steve is right this must be opposed, but now and decisively! We must lean of the Senate to get rid of Schumer!
Lisa: this, this, this is good news - our honored veterans, women and men, doing the "good trouble." I hope a million turn out in D.C. in a show of force that makes Trump and his fascist cronies psychically and physically quiver with fear. Show the cowardly, women-hating, alcoholic, worst-manager-ever Pete Hegseth what real intelligence, courage, sacrifice and service is.
Don't count on anything except our own individual and collective intelligence, allegiance to uninterpreted Constitutional 3-branch and citizen-empowered democracy, courage and FORCE OF WILL to rescue a country that came so incredibly far in human, civil, and animal rights and fair opportunities for all, yet is free-falling in the gravity of sadistic, pleasure-of-cruelty techno and mob fascism and pure, psychologically sick greed of billionaires who have no conscience, no empathy, no ethics, no spirit, no soul.
On Ukraine: I have a question. If any military personnel followed orders to stop shipping defense weaponry to Ukraine or to stop all US military intelligence to Ukraine of Russian attacks as happened over the past days — are those lawful orders? Because Ukrainian children, women, men and combat soldiers (men and women) are dying and suffering because of those orders. Is is now a factual JAG predicate that the U.S. military is murdering Ukrainians by obeying orders that are unlawful in their inevitable, ineluctable outcome of Ukrainians harmed and being killed?
I think they rigged the 2024 election and will do the same in the 4/1 spl elections... and CERTAINLY again in the 2026 elections... IF those will even be "allowed".... the slope is very VERY grassy..
The fucking idiot President is scuttling the CHIPS act, to manufacture our own semiconductors, so we don’t have to be reliant on other countries, specifically Taiwan who produces 60percent of the worlds chips. The absolute idiot. The factory is almost built. Now this asshole is stopping it. He is insane. He needs to be removed from office
The factory will be in Arizona is not stopped by the great orange leader. Biden helped to make it happen and Trump is the party of "no" all by himself (with his henchmen).
They are considered worthless, back to the king analogy a leader of serfs with no power or for many no organizational skills and elderly. Fell right through the ‘safety net’ and it didn’t take long. Homeless in Seattle my college friend, smart but diseased with a inescapable mental problem. Thrown out to live in a van. There will be more. This ‘wealth creation’ will not mean him. You won’t miss him he will be on a street near you trump guarantees it.
The serfs down here have been voting Republican for decades. Now they vote MAGA. The Republican Party is the single largest reason we have serfs. Without the Democrats and the creation of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, we would have already ceased to exist.
Great presentation. You seem to be at least as angry as I am. I still can’t get over the attack on Zelensky by Vance and Trump. In my opinion they are guilty of Treason and should be condemned. Little Marco says Ukraine should give up territory. He is another traitor. Does he believe in anything?
We need to shut the government down. Mass demonstrations and boycotts of all tech companies. The Tesla boycott is working. Amazon and Meta will be harder but it can be done.
I am participating in five or more protests a week. Letter writing and phone calls to my senators Kaine and Warner were a waste of time. Warner needs to be primaried next year. He only cares about his corporate donors.
This destruction of America needs to stop. We can’t wait until 2026. There won’t be anything left to save.
How do we fight back when they have all the money and support of the wealthy? I feel like giving $10 a month to the Democrat Party is a worthless proposition. The best I can do right now is not to consume. Screw Walmart, screw Amazon, screw Musk (I don't own a Tesla), screw big businesses that support Trump!
I remember reading a book about the Kennedy administration called, "The Best and the Brightest." I am certain there will be a book titled, "The Worst and the Dumbest," about the Trump administration.
I just read this. It sounds like it comes straight from the novel, "The Handmaid's Tale." (1984) Did the author, Margaret Atwood, see America's progression to Christian nationalism developing before most Americans were aware of what faced us?
"A Texas state bill could charge transgender people with “gender identity fraud,” making it illegal to identify as trans on official documents and potentially leading to jail time.
The bill, which was filedby Republican state Rep. Tom Oliverson, would make it a state jail felony if a person “knowingly makes a false or misleading verbal or written statement” by identifying their sex assigned at birth incorrectly to a governmental entity or to their employer.
So far, the bill has no other co-sponsors, making it unlikely to pass. However, the bill is among the first of its kind nationally and is an example of how legislation targeting trans people has become more clear in its intent and more extreme in recent years, particularly in Texas." https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna195642
Is it OK to hope Texas secedes, declaring itself an independent "Christian" nation?
And the best and the brightest got us into BAD trouble in Vietnam. I am thinking of secretary of defense Robert S. McNamara. The current clowns are much worse, or course. The whole point of democracy, and a strong legislature, is that the wisdom of the many is greater than the wisdom of any single individual (or small group of leaders). We really need to fix Congress, which has become weaker than ever.
Of course, you are right. David Halberstam's book investigated how the "best and the brightest" got us involved in a disastrous war in Vietnam. And you are correct that the "current clowns are much worse." However, IMO, their goals are evil and antithetical to everything decent about our country and world; thus, the danger they represent is far greater.
Very urgent, the online news are now flooded with mixed, confusing and distracting stories and views. Take everything you see with skepticism. You will either be sucked into rabbit holes, cajoled and rocked into stupor or made to be confused and to believe that fighting for democracy here and everywhere is futile. Overnight, every imaginable scenario has emerged to rescue the beleaguered Putin and even Assad’s image all across information medium. They use and promote the ambivalent second rate reporting by including established news organization to subtly change the narrative against those fighting for freedom and democracy in critical space of the people’s conscience. Beware! For example, massacre in Syria may not be all that they are making you believe. Or stories that making you doubt that Ukraine and its fighting forces are corrupt or failing. So be careful.
This is the angriest I’ve seen you. You are seeing something very clearly. I’m trying to not be afraid. You are telling us to get off our asses and get out there. It is near that time.
The Americans who support Trump must be called to account. We all know some of them, and it is now time to suck it up and say to them..."f-you, traitor." Voting for Trump was bad enough, but for those folks to continue to stand behind his treasonous betrayal of our allies and his destruction of our institutions/the Founders creation is unforgiveable. Screw all of them.
Jeff, the stock market absolutely agrees DOW down 890pts at closed and going down more at the close! Don’t buy bitcoin like Charlie Munger said ‘shit-coin’ that is Warren Buffett partner but deceased recently.
The US has the strongest military in the world, but America has been exposed as a paper tiger. The core of this country has become hollow. We do not stand for our ideals any longer and that has made us an easy conquest. We are at war and there is no one at the wheel. I think Steve has said this but maybe not clearly enough.
We have been attacked. It has been reported that Donald Trump is a foreign asset. We have been taken over without a shot being fired. The Democrats have not fought this administration with the tools that they have at hand. I have read many good suggestions about how they could fight, but there have only been a few who have gotten off the dime. The republican House and Senate deserves to be excoriated.
The horror is real. I am afraid that Trump will get Zelinsky to humilate himself to save Ukraine and then Trump won't keep his end of the bargain. Zelinsky will have humiliated himself for nothing. Yes I am sick to death of all the people who will not stand up and fight ..The ones that are giving over there power. Too many to list. Avner Less an Israeli Policeman who interviewed Eichmann for 275 hours said this about democracy there Adolf Eichmanns everywhere ..They are all around us . He said, "They are latent in democracy but that in a dictatorship of the left or the right they become deadly in an instant. " It seems to me we are meeting a lot of possible Eichmanns right now.
Doge and Trump's war on science and education continues.
"NASA is eliminating its chief scientist and other roles as part of efforts by the Trump administration to pare back staff at the agency’s Washington headquarters.
The cuts affect about 20 employees at NASA, including Katherine Calvin, the chief scientist and a climate science expert. The last day of work for Dr. Calvin and the other staff members will be April 10." From New York Times.
Steve!! I am glad to have YOU to rely on for the truth and no-holds-barred analysis. I’m a 70-year-old Dem woman surrounded by a sea of aggressive red folks. I want you to know something I HEARD and SAW Musk say when interview. Saw it on Instagram. Musk said — and it HORRIFIES me to say — “In the future some sort of ‘universal income’ will ultimately be necessary.” Isn’t this a statement of communistic philosophy?? Please research it a bit and mention it in a podcast. I think it’s BEYOND IMPORTANT that people know what this man has in-store for
There are grains of hope that a 2026 midterm election will happen, and that steel-spined, constitution-defending Democrats will elect or become majorities in the House and Senate.
Let Impeachment number three be the final strike to remove DJT, JDV and deport EM.

Me too. Spread the word. I've been posting it everywhere I can!! Thanks. ❤️🇺🇸💙
OCCUPY THE WHITE HOUSE
I will be there on Friday
Don't count on anything except our own individual and collective intelligence, allegiance to uninterpreted Constitutional 3-branch and citizen-empowered democracy, courage and FORCE OF WILL to rescue a country that came so incredibly far in human, civil, and animal rights and fair opportunities for all, yet is free-falling in the gravity of sadistic, pleasure-of-cruelty techno and mob fascism and pure, psychologically sick greed of billionaires who have no conscience, no empathy, no ethics, no spirit, no soul.

I’m counting on a Congress that changes the game, it starts now a year and a half from now, do what you can!
We don't have a year and a half...
I think they rigged the 2024 election and will do the same in the 4/1 spl elections... and CERTAINLY again in the 2026 elections... IF those will even be "allowed".... the slope is very VERY grassy..

MAGA is just a symptom. Consider the following:
Nearly 14 percent of American children live in poverty.
Last year, homelessness was the highest ever recorded for the United States.
Wealth inequality in the US has no equal in the history of the world.
When it is time for our epitaph, keep in mind the above.
It’s a helpful reminder to partly understand the apathy of the moment for those just trying to survive.
