"Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York wants to protect his vulnerable members who are up for reelection in 2026. My response to that has been that if you do not go to the mat to highlight the Trump/Musk depredations, there might not be elections in 2026."

Yes, but I would say in this case we need to take a page out of the opposition's playbook: any Senator who is unwilling to recognize the Constitutional crisis unfolding and use every power available to impede the GOP should be primaried. Assuming there is an election we need to be prepared to raise the funds to back better candidates at the primary level, then support them again at the general election level. Chuck Schumer et al need to learn to fear the people.

1 Comment! Here Norm is telling us that the people we have elected in 2024 are now in the process of turning our democracy into an autocracy and we have 1 comment!?

Well, let me make it 2 comments by stating that if Democrats want a 2026 election (or any more after that) that they had better get together with the Dept. of Justice (assuming it is still there) and gang up on these criminals (in any way they can come up with) to get them out of power and into the slammer, and they better do it quick.

At the rate those Fascists are going, we will be losing our democracy shortly. And, IMHO, what the Democrats and the "Justice" department have done so far is truly pathetic.
