Former GOP congressman lets loose on Trump 'cultists' in Congress
President Donald Trump’s supporters are “cultists,” according to a former Republican congressman who once voted for Trump.“I do my damnedest not to call Trump voters cultists, because I used to be a Trump voter,” said Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) on his Substack podcast on Tuesday. “I don't always hold to that rule, but I try my best. But when it comes to my former congressional colleagues — these Republican members of Congress, and all these conservative right-wing talk radio guys and Fox News guys, the world I used to be a part of — man, I'll call them members of a cult till the cows come home.”
Walsh, who prefaced his statement by acknowledging that he gets “a bunch of anger” whenever he makes it, challenged Trump supporters in Congress by saying “if you don't like me calling you a cultist, if you don't like it when I call you a cult follower of Donald Trump, then don't act like one.” As one example, the former legislator urged his erstwhile colleagues to not back the president in attacking the Supreme Court after they ruled his tariffs unconstitutional.
“When you stand up — like Trump did — and say, ‘S---- the Supreme Court, s---- the Constitution on these tariffs,’ and you stand with him, it's just so easy for me to point the ‘you are a cult member’ finger at you,” Walsh said. He added that unlike the previous three Republican presidents (Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush), Trump ruins conservatives who do not agree with him on every issue.
i still believe Bernie Sanders would’ve beat Donald Trump in 2016.
I understand why the DNC wouldn’t support Sanders. It’s the same reason I don’t blindly support the DNC.
Their priority was control; not winning. It doesn’t seem that it’s changed.
Guys like Talarico give me hope.
If the billionaires fear you; you’re my dude.

Trump has to serve and manipulate the gullible. He knows they believe anything he says. They may make up close to 50% of the people in the country, most concentrated in the Red States.Trump spoke for 108 minutes at the State of the Union last night. The New York Times and the Associated Press checked 31 of his claims. Not one was fully true as stated.
Twelve were outright false. Nine were exaggerated beyond the facts. Seven needed serious context to not mislead. Three had no evidence behind them at all. Nothing. From any source.
These were only the claims the fact-checkers had time to check. He made hundreds more.
Both sources. Same result

Yet another way to make government authoritarianism bigger. Wasn't it a Republican or Libertarian who said he just wants the government to leave him alone.

The FBI are raiding School superintendents houses now
BREAKING: The FBI has raided LAUSD headquarters (the Superintendent Alberto Carvalho's office) and his home.
This comes one week after the DOJ moved to join a federal civil rights lawsuit against LAUSD which was filed by the 1776 Project Foundation. They argue that LAUSD’s desegregation policies (specifically how the district labels certain schools as “Predominantly Hispanic, Black, Asian, and Other non-Anglo” (PHBAO) and allocates additional resources) discriminates against white students.

Pete Hegseth said he will appeal a court order against his effort to demote Sen. Mark Kelly for telling troops they can refuse illegal orders.
The move comes after a judge determined the defense secretary's attempt to strip the senator of his retired military rank violated his right to free speech.
