"Over the weekend I talked to a couple of people, people who generally try to keep abreast of the news, about the Chicago apartment raid last Tuesday — and discovered that they hadn’t heard about it. And that’s extremely worrying. It suggests that many people don’t realize how fast and aggressively the Trump administration is moving to end rule of law and convert America into a full-fledged autocracy."

"What do we learn from the Chicago apartment raid plus the growing number of incidents in which ICE agents have physically attacked people who posed no conceivable threat? To me, it says that even 'alarmists' who warned about the threat a Trump administration would pose to democracy underestimated just how evil this administration would be."

"All of this happened over a single weekend. Trump is ordering United States military units to go to war against states and cities led by Democratic governors and mayors. When stymied by the courts, as he was in Oregon, he is attempting to get around court orders, turning his military deployment scheme into a whack-a-mole nightmare for governors and mayors."

Trump's niece Mary is asked "if things went south for Donald, do you think that he would issue an executive 'Nero Decree' (scorched earth) order like Hitler did when his defeat was imminent?"
Her reply:
"Yeah, honestly, I’ve [been] saying that publicly since 2020. And I think the way I typically put it is this: If Donald thinks he’s going down, he will take all of us down with him if he can. It’s that simple."
