Steven Cash warns Trump’s proposed January 6 "settlement" resembles the kind of state-funded loyalty network or private militia support system often seen under rising authoritarian regimes overseas.

Lawyers, Guns & Money: Look at this and Rhodes dismissal case together: a coordinated effort to create a billion-dollar funding stream outside appropriations and oversight rewarding and sustain networks personally loyal to Trump, including those same organizations. zurl.co/puc1q

What Rep. Dan Goldmen describes is not “detention.” It’s state-sanctioned abuse, and it’s what happens when human beings are disappeared into systems with no accountability.

86? Began my career as a prosecutor in the NY County DA's Officer (think Law & Order), serving in both the Trial and Racket units. I have never heard the term "86" used by criminals to mean kill. I do know it is a restaurant term. I don't think it appears in any mob movies/TV shows.

Trump’s budget request includes a new FBI centre dedicated to monitoring Americans for ideological beliefs classified as indicators of domestic terrorism, including beliefs about gender, race, morality, family values, etc. per NSPM-7. Read our statement condemning NSPM-7 on our Substack.

1/ “Blasting Iran into oblivion” and “back to the Stone Ages” is an open threat to bomb civilians (a war crime). Trump appears to be making this decision without a congressional declaration, even as he refuses to call this a “war,” though his language here makes clear that’s exactly what it is.
