‘Brace for impact’: Trump turns fraud into new weapon against blue states - POLITICO
"He's attacking blue states out of revenge," said Democratic Rep. Brad Schneider of Illinois. "If that's in the form of sending in ICE, he sends in ICE. If it's denying food and education to their children, which to be clear are America's children, he's gonna do that. What he is doing is seeking revenge at the cost of America's most vulnerable people, putting those communities at risk."…

Letitia James criminally charged in Trump’s latest effort to punish rivals
"These charges are baseless, and the president's own public statements make clear that his only goal is political retribution at any cost. The president's actions are a grave violation of our constitutional order and have drawn sharp criticism from members of both parties."…

The Art of the Sellout: Trump is giving away the store in Ukraine
Trump's team has all but stated that Ukraine will never be allowed to join the alliance. Whether or not one believes that Ukrainian NATO membership is "realistic," abandoning it publicly and unilaterally removes a key bargaining chip from the table. It is an unnecessary giveaway — diplomatic malpractice of the highest order. If Trump were truly the master negotiator he claims to be, he would understand that you don't start by announcing what you're willing to concede for free…
Why is Trump doing all this? Among the possible reasons are his long-standing admiration for autocrats like Putin, his deep-seated belief that allies are burdens and his instinctive hostility toward both NATO and the European security order. There's also the possibility of personal financial entanglements.
Beyond all this, there may be a deeply personal element: revenge. Ukraine played a role in Trump's first impeachment, and Trump never forgives. That was an insult that must be repaid in kind.
All this points to a bigger problem: Trump is a menace to the global world order that America built and that has more-or-less kept the peace since World War II…

"This is a battle of good versus evil," declared Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Lara Trump touts ‘scorched earth’ agenda after 2024 elections
"He showed us a whole lot that we didn't know was going on — within the media, within Washington, D.C. He exposed a lot of people. So they have to do everything they can to keep him out of that White House 'cause they know Donald Trump gets in for four more years, the jig is up for them. The gloves are off. There are no holds barred here. He is going full-throttle. He's not worried about winning another election [in 2028]. It's four years of scorched earth when Donald Trump retakes the White House."

Trump and allies plot revenge, Justice Department control in a second term - The Washington Post
Much of the planning for a second term has been unofficially outsourced to a partnership of right-wing think tanks in Washington. Dubbed "Project 2025," the group is developing a plan, to include draft executive orders, that would deploy the military domestically under the Insurrection Act, according to a person involved in those conversations and internal communications reviewed by The Washington Post. The law, last updated in 1871, authorizes the president to deploy the military for domestic law enforcement...

If Trump wins, he’ll turn the justice department into a vendetta machine
If there weren't already enough reason to fear a second Trump presidency, this would be it.
Public trust in our governing institutions has already sunk to a new low – due in large part to Trump's first term, his subsequent big lie that the 2020 election was "stolen", and now his second big lie that Biden is orchestrating a "witch-hunt" against him.
Even if Biden is re-elected, it will be necessary to deal with the damage Trump and his Republican enablers have wrought…
