The United States has a massive domestic terrorism problem, and the rhetoric has only ratcheted up the past few days. Federal and state authorities need to intervene on active threats.
Make no mistake: the intended thuggery and lawlessness are hallmarks of historical fascist tactics. We cannot simply roll our eyes and move on. Our republic faces an existential threat.

FACTS - Never forget that Donald Trump negotiated an agreement with the Taliban to withdraw all U.S. forces by May 1, 2021.
And he tweeted in October 2020: “We should have the small remaining number of our BRAVE Men and Women serving in Afghanistan home by Christmas!”
Donald Trump ignored the professionals and negotiated an exit agreement with the TALIBAN! In other words, the “author” of the book, “The Art of the Deal,” thought the Taliban would honor a contract.
Let me be clear: in the GOP's perfect world, the middle class suffers; our infrastructure crumbles; Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are terminated; corporate taxes are lowered even further; billionaires profit; and only wealthy white voters have the right to vote.
The GOP also wants to undermine public education, make Christianity the national religion, discriminate against the LGBTQ community, regulate women's bodies, and ignore the existential climate crisis.
I am so damn tired of the GOP's hypocrisy and corruption. We have serious problems to solve. And we are capable of doing so. But the GOP's never-ending obstruction constantly puts us behind the eight-ball.
Joe Manchin's daughter is behind the EpiPen greed. Neera Tanden rightly criticized her for stealing Americans' life savings to stay alive.
Chicago Tribune: "According to SEC filings, [her] total compensation went from $2.4 million to $18.9 million from 2007 to 2015. A 671% increase. That period coincides with the time when Mylan acquired the rights to EpiPens and hiked the wholesale price from about $55 to $320."
In other words, he should be referred to henceforth as Joe "EpiPen" Manchin.
Given that Joe Biden will receive his first intelligence briefing today, I highly recommend that he receives information on why Jared Kushner is flying to Saudi Arabia to meet with MBS.
Asking Saudi Arabia to illegally hack the Biden administration to aid Donald Trump's 2024 campaign would be a federal crime.
Leaking our state secrets to MBS likewise is a federal crime.
