We cannot stay silent as Trump tightens his grip on DC

from David Pakman

David Pakman at The David Pakman Show:

Donald Trump has federalized the city’s police force and deployed the National Guard, not to respond to a natural disaster, not to secure an international summit, but to consolidate his grip on the nation’s capital. This isn’t just about “law and order.” It’s about control. The D.C. mayor and local officials now have less authority over their own streets than at any time in modern memory. The people who actually live there didn’t vote for this, didn’t ask for it, and can’t easily reverse it. And that’s the point. The move is being framed as a “security measure,” but the pattern is obvious:

Use state power to override local governance—and in this case, there is no state which opens up the loophole for federalization.

Deploy federal forces in politically sensitive areas.

Blur the lines between policing and political loyalty.

Make it harder for dissent to happen anywhere near the seat of federal power.

If this sounds extreme, it is—but it’s also familiar. We’ve seen versions of this before in other countries where leaders decided that the law was less important than their own security, and that protest was something to be stamped out rather than heard. It’s another step in an administration that has already tried to push the bounds of executive authority at every turn. When critics, whistleblowers, or journalists become inconvenient, they aren’t just ignored—they’re targeted, pressured, and in some cases, silenced. This is why independent media matters. The David Pakman Show isn’t subject to the whims of corporate boards, FCC licenses, or billionaire owners. If the White House leans on a network, the network might fold. If they lean on us, there’s no corporate board to cave. We answer to you.

David Pakman succinctly explains why Donald Trump’s faux “emergency” declaration that federalizes the DC Police is about control and not about “combatting crime,” and that big blue cities are next on Tyrant 47’s radar.

Global humiliation spreads like wildfire as dementia goes mainstream

Stumblefuck the Clown's crippling dementia is on full display. Also your daily reminder that Trump is corrupt, bigoted, deeply stupid, and a disgusting pedophile who conspires with our enemies, in case the dementia wasn't enough of a deal breaker for you.

I saw this this morning as I was scrolling around on Reddit... 🤔🤯🤬

While I'm thinking of Election 2024... I keep hearing, from pretty much everyone in my circle of podcasters except I think for David Pakman, about this one Trump campaign ad which quoted Kamala Harris from 2019 saying she'd support gender-affirming surgery for undocumented immigrants and ending with the words, "Kamala Harris cares about they/them. Donald Trump cares about you." (I still haven't actually bothered to look up this ad.) And each and every one of these commentators refers to it in some permutation of the words "the most devastating ad in the campaign" as though this were objective fact; most recently I heard some record amount of money quoted as having been spent on it. My circle of podcasters includes some pretty liberal-leaning people (e.g. Robert Wright) and skews heavily anti-Trump, but all (except again for David Pakman) are very free-thinking dissenting, hard-to-peg-in-a-political-category types. And again, the fact that this commercial an extreme example of political success is this one fact they all seem to agree on.

I can't help questioning how they know how this ad was so outstandingly effective and how one would even go about objectively measuring that.
