"Once citizens begin to view their own government’s security forces as an occupying army, violence becomes inevitable. Trump’s team knows this. In fact, that’s the point. They are not trying to restore order; they’re trying to trigger the very unrest that would justify further crackdowns." […]

Today in Politics, Bulletin 224. A very heated and contentious senate hearing today with AG Bondi over Epstein, Homan, and many other issues. That and everything else that happened today. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

This image was posted on X today by a Chicago Tribune reporter. Trump’s government has declared war on the American people — or some of them, based on race.

Big thank you to the great @murray.senate.gov for joining Meidas Health today with my great friend and physician leader @drkavitapatel.bsky.social to break down the terrible impacts of rhe government shutdown on our nations health.

Update from the war zone in Portland.

White r@c!$t Pr!€K. Should go viral on social media.

Donald Trump says he wants our military to use cities like Los Angeles and Portland as a "training ground." Absolutely not.

This un-American, illegal use of the military to terrorize in our communities must end now.

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

BTW for maga, it was never about pedophiles. It was about hating fellow Americans and the pedophile charge was a convenient way to put a moral mask on that.

The second Trump failed to release the files, because he’s in them, they defended him.

Mask is off

Sorry about your luck, 24 million Trump voters It has been the case since Donald Trump's first tenure as president that he wants to slice the size of the federal workforce. During his period in the political wilderness (also known as the Biden adm...

Some statistics about the 16 blue states Russ Vought wants to target:
- 39% of the country lives in those states.
- They contribute 44% of GDP.
- They are also home to almost a third of 2024 Trump voters, some 24 million of them.

Some of us were talking about both subjects before it was cool.

Day 2 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:

1. GOP controls government. They control what bills get voted on and the vote thresholds for each bill. Senate GOP can pass their bad funding bill today if they felt like it.

2. Dems are fighting to lower costs and save healthcare.

They’re kicking Black men out of the military over beards. Three out of five Black servicemen have pseudofolliculitis barbae which is a painful skin condition caused by shaving.

This is blatant discrimination.

No dude, McCormick, we’re actually blaming you 100%. Radical right is to blame.

This was a good interview - watch his whole segment. He called the Qu@nr!c0 fiasco a cosplay, “Culture War Ted Talk.”

Exactly. Then George moved on as most of them do. Pathetic.

There’s a New Lawsuit Against “Kavanaugh Stops.” It’s Absolutely Devastating. These detentions, far from the “brief” inconvenience the justice described, are often lengthy, violent, and dangerous.

An arrest of a person due entirely to the person having dark skin color is now known across the country as a "Kavanaugh stop," based on Justice Kavanaugh's justification of the practice. slate.com/news-and-pol...

FFS, he saw it. Liar. Apparatchik to the core. Has no business being in Congress or Speaker of the House. Keep videotaping these conversations with him. Shows how inept he actually is, always was.

Stephanopoulos - GET TOUGHER. You let him continue to lie, non stop. Interrupt him. Call him a liar. He got the last word and you moved in. You are a BIG part of the problem.

And don't forget this in 2013:

This you, Trump?

Translation: “Here’s $8 billion worth of reasons to end Republican seats in blue states.”

Thank you, Russell Vought. Incredible strategy.

Keep talking, Howard, keep talking.
