It is striking how Republicans are more interested in cultural issues than economic issues. They’d rather go broke than allow transgenders to exist, or God forbid participate in sports of the opposite sex. They also love conspiracy theories of any sort. Pathetic.
Who are the players in Trump’s “radical brain trust?” Clearly, Trump has neither the ability or knowledge to come up with effort after effort to fix the mid-term elections, not to mention other law breaking efforts. Who and where are all these devious efforts being created to put on Trump’s desk?
Vance dismisses Watergate scandal, says ‘deep state’ went after Nixon - The Washington Post. Vance seems remarkably ignorant of history. Republicans ended Nixon’s presidency and they have never before been called the “deep state.”
It’s here. Barbara McQuade was the first person I heard refer to Trump’s running the government like a mafia boss. She truly knows because she’s prosecuted a lot of of them. When I learned she was writing a book I could only wait. Now that it’s in my hands, it will be devoured quickly. More soon.
Reading one of the most important books I will read this year. Got it yesterday will finish it today. I want to encourage all to read it to better understand how we can deal with political liars. Andrew has answers!

Powerful statements pulling no punches regarding the murders on the high seas by American fighters following illegal orders apparently with a faux justification by DOJ lawyers who should be disbarred. Ambassador Eisen is raising the key issue: can Americans now get away with murder under Trump?
Norm Eisen@normeisen.bsky.social · 8mo agoThe supposed legal justifications for these boat strikes just don't make sense Even in war you can’t target civilians Experts across party lines agree: this looks like murder We need the memo, the full video & an investigation I explained on @ms.now 👇

Stefan Lundstrom@stefanlundstroem.bsky.social · 9mo agoThere are two bsky- accounts with your pic, name etc. Original was @johnwdean.bsky.social, the new one is this account called "johnwdeanchat". Do you have two active? I've followed you since 1977, post Watergate, when was a law student @ UofW. Really cherish the "acquaintance" if I may call it so.
Recommend you follow the @steadystatevets.bsky.social! They are fighting the Trump Admin move to authoritarianism!

Wonderful analysis addressing what to watch at the High Court in the coming months…. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.
Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

If you missed Trump‘s speech to the military leadership, or have been snoozing since he resumed Office, it appears that he and roughly 30% of the voting population that support him, want the 70% that does not to give up our liberties and freedom. If we don’t, he will take them using our military.
