Photo of Trump pale with unfocused eyes. Headlines go across his face.
HEADLINES "Transportation: Trump kicks off potentially messy fight over Biden's infrastructure money"
"Trump is punishing Blue States by defunding their infrastructure projects"
"Trump slaps his name on Infrastructure Projects funded by Biden"
"What Trump's infrastructure funding pause means for cities"
"Where did billions in climate and infrastructure go?"
Four years ago today President Joe Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill into law. This was one of the most consequential bills of our lifetimes.
Trump has been working to dismantle that work since entering office. He is always working against the people.

Mafia governance in action
"the only offer on the table was that I needed to resign by 5pm that day or the DOJ would basically rain hell on UVA... If I did not resign that day, I was told that the DOJ would extract/block hundreds of millions of dollars from UVA before they would even negotiate."

Then they came for the Dreamers
Immigrants brought here as children were told they wouldn’t be deported. Now, they’re being targeted anyway.
Dreamers were once obvious candidates for a path to citizenship. Now, they’re getting picked up, detained, and set for potential deportation.

The White House is a 24/7 pay-to-play enterprise.
The latest? Trump is pardoning Changpeng Zhao, who built a company that allowed terrorists and sex predators to launder money.
Why? Because Zhao made a huge investment in Trump's corrupt crypto business.
Pay-to-play.

THAT MAN IS MY BROTHER
And if genius is madness tempered with discretion, this sly sadist and plotter of revenge is a genius
MARCH 1, 1939 | THOMAS MANN
WERE it not for the frightful sacrifices which continue to be offered up to the fatal psychology of this man; were it not for the ever-widening circle of desolation which he makes, it would be easier to admit that he presents an arresting phenomenon. Yet, hard as it is, we must admit it: nobody can help being preoccupied by the deplorable spectacle. For he has chosen—in default, as we know, of capacity to wield any other-to use politics as his tool; and politics always magnify and coarsen the effects they produce. So much the worse for us all; so much the worse for all Europe today, lying helpless under his spell; where he is vouchsafed the role of the man of destiny and all-conquering hero, and where, thanks to a combination of fantastic chances -or mischances - everything is grist that comes to his mill, and he passes unopposed from one triumph to another.
Back in 1939, Thomas Mann wrote an essay called Bruder Hitler. Esquire magazine ran it with the title “That Man Is My Brother”.

Artillery Shell Detonated Over Interstate 5 During Marines’ Celebration, California Officials Say
We love our Marines and owe a debt of gratitude to Camp Pendleton, but next time, the Vice President and the White House shouldn’t be so reckless with people’s lives for their vanity projects.

Historians of the future: Rest assured, millions of us know all this in real time. We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends. trib.al/0islLh9
