Missouri Democratic Party Chair Russ Carnahan addressing the newly-formed Stronger Together. A collaborative effort between a number of rural Missouri counties in order to promote Democratic values and Democratic candidates in east central Missouri. Stay tuned!!!

Dry run for a dictatorship

Media: don't do this. Stakes are way too high. Read #Strongmen to understand the playbook of discrediting democracy and Biden in the minds of voters and creating idea that exceptional measures, including violence, are necessary to "save the nation." Jonathan Karl

Another obvious example of someone who should not be in public office.

Rep. Matt Gaetz Praising "Force" Goes Full Fascist mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbo…

See the fascist playbook in action. Revisit Italy with the fascist dictatorship of Mussolini. Then consider why Trump is a danger to America. He has infected the GOP House but there is hope many Republicans will recognize the danger he represents. lucid.substack.com/p/to-escape-pr…

Scott will not answer the question because he knows the GOP base has been invected by Trump fever. What kind of president would he make if he won't recognize the danger to our freedom, democracy, and the rule of law?

Program! Get your program! Can’t tell the Georgia defendants without a program. Only way to keep defendants straight (or crooked). Keep score by writing in convictions and possible sentence. Gotta get your program.... statesuniteddemocracy.org/wp-content/upl…

Don't enable William Barr's reputation rehab. "As Trump’s AG, Barr covered up Trump’s illegalities, mischaracterized results of the Mueller investigation, & helped Turkish bank Halkbank avoid indictment for its effort to evade Iranian sanctions." #Strongmen, corruption chapter

Ego stroker & supplier of openings for him to tell his lies and depict himself as a victim. Every interview given to this skilled propagandist is a chance for him to indoctrinate and cultivate more followers. People who don't normally watch Fox.

We are not supporting Ukraine simply because we like the country. This is the first real test of authoritarianism vs democracy since World War II. Democracy must win for the sake of our own national security and global democracy. That is why we must support Ukraine.

Just a note this morning to say that the effect of Leonard Leo and McConnell corrupting our judiciary is one of the most destabilizing elements leading us to where we are. Before, no matter how ugly our politics we could always count on an honest judge to protect us. No more.

NEVER FORGET that time trump said "there has to be some form of punishment" for women getting an abortion. Don't let anyone forget. RT the hell out of this.

One should not mistake Republican's referred to as "moderates" with having any degree of true moderation. Most would have been viewed as extremist right wingers only a decade ago. Did anyone report on "moderate" fascists in Germany?

See my op-ed in today's KC Star on the 5 members of congress from Missouri who voted NOT to expel former Rep. George Santos from congress. kansascity.com/opinion/reader…

A video check-in with everyone about Trump the aspiring dictator and how we should never feel our fate is sealed. Fatalism is the friend of autocrats. We have rights and options and we can use them. Please share.

Steve Israel and I have a piece in today's Hill News that points out how a third party candidate could complicate the election of a president in November and might throw the election into the House to determine the outcome. Read: thehill.com/opinion/campai…
