Profoundly undemocratic

As I’ve been saying for years: Republicans don’t believe they have any obligation to those who aren’t with them.

Bill Barr's alternate universe "investigation" has a goal: Right-wing authoritarian rule https://t.co/K4eRky9A1E

Bill Barr’s concern isn’t so much about the future of religious liberty, but the future of Christian hegemony in American public life. https://t.co/cKHgwfOQ8G

1/ My quoted tweet on Barr's "dominionist" talking points received much attention, so I created an infographic on Dominionism and its relation to the Christian Right and other groups, as well as to eschatology (with helpful comments from @FredClarkson).https://t.co/tqNfBMAb0v pic.twitter.com/RWUsCKeaqF

If you read anything today about Trump's UN speech, read @HayesBrown, who actually explains why Trump's repeated use of the term "globalist" is hugely problematic and anti-Semitic, and how Trump's nationalism is connected to alt-right violence. https://t.co/8zJgvt4D01

Duh

I can’t be the only person who’s seen the over-arcing trend of the past 40 years, can I?

In my latest at @nytopinion, I argue that the truculent response to @BetoORourke's mandatory assault weapon buyback proposal betrays a disturbing hostility to democracy on the right. https://t.co/Hysuh3EVwP

I’ll bet his female “spiritual adviser” told him to do this…

Donald Trump just said, “I am the chosen one.”

Make no mistake. His push to forward the narrative that he’s a messiah isn’t an accident. It’s a strategy for 2020 and an escalation in vilifying his opponents. This is beyond dangerous in a way that’s hard to overstate.

As he talks about China, Trump actually looks to the sky when he says, "I am the chosen one."

If Barack Obama looked to the sky and said ‘I’m the chosen one’, even as a joke(which this wasn’t), everyone at Fox News would look like they just peeked inside the Ark of the Covenant. https://t.co/bfxkxWkL44

The plan

Trump wants border agents to act as judges, so he wants to get rid of the real immigration judges:

“We don’t even have the authority to order pencils," judge who heads the union says, calling claim they're managers "absurd." https://t.co/r7Emkf10qW DOJ says a change is appropriate given how nature and importance of the judges' job has evolved. https://t.co/wIC0LAmzz2

Katie Gorka, a Trump regime DHS official, suggested in a July 2017 email that the agency, which had just canceled funding for a group dedicated to deradicalizing white supremacists, redirect its efforts to focus on the real threat: anti-fascists. https://t.co/7okspZkycc

To DOJ insiders, Barr’s reference to “spying” was startling. It’s a loaded word suggesting improper government overreach. He was referring to FISA surveillance, which was approved by Trump appointee Rosenstein & the court. Barr knows better. So what’s up? https://t.co/mk9ryDFAA0
