This deserves to get a lot more attention than it is. Here is a US Representative laying out the bigger picture, in very clear terms, of Trump's efforts to destroy our democracy and replace it with a repressive authoritarian state.

Right? I've barely seen this and it should be shared far and wide. I do wish he would have called out ICE as Gestapo, but I understand why he didn't. It does seem like an earnest attempt to at least sway a few folks from across the aisle to acknowledge the coup.

Bravo Senator Murphy, really encouraging to see a representative still prioritizing core values and working towards national unity here. Big props to the Senator for stepping up and addressing some tough issues and laying it bare for all of us to see.
