Wait, was the pledge to end corruption or end investigating corruption? I guess if you stop investing corruption, you won't find any. Problem solved!

Weakening the judiciary to consolidate power in the executive is a classic authoritarian move seen in many far-right populist and/or fascist regimes.

This administration & the GOP are completely rewriting the events of January 6. The president is doing it here. They pretend all the evidence, footage, confessions, & documents just don't exist, that we didn't see it happen. It's an authoritarian move, & it should terrify us all.
Reporter: You are going to meet with first responders today, but you pardoned hundreds of people who assaulted first responders. Trump: No, I pardoned people who were assaulted themselves… by our government. I didn’t assault. They didn’t assault. They were assaulted. What I did was a great thing for humanity.

This is a partial video, but it's embarrassing. You have the power to obstruct, push back, reach out to those hurt by these policies, get in front of the media & hammer home what is happening, realize this moment is not just a constitutional crisis; it's a coup. Or step aside.
"What leverage do we have?" says Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "They control the House, the Senate and the presidency; it's their government."

Musk, then Trump, then Vance: calling for a judge to be removed & seeking to undermine the separation of powers. It seems pretty obvious the goal is to consolidate power in the executive branch. We are likely to hear more of this in the coming weeks.

Surveys that fail to ask people about their news consumption are meaningless! If most people in the survey watch Fox News or no news at all, the results will be predictable. Tell us where they get thir news and how often they tune in to those sources.
