i think the key to understanding a lot of establishment discourse is that basically only the left and liberals are capable of being viewed as subjects capable of judgement which is why GOP rule is essentially treated as a force of nature

Donald Trump is plotting to cut Social Security benefits for older Americans β after he promised during the campaign that he wouldnβt touch Social Security.
We must call it out and stop these cuts.

) from 16 hours ago. Rupar's post quotes Karoline Leavitt, White House Press Secretary, saying, "When an illegal alien goes to the emergency room, who's paying for it? The American taxpayer." The image shows a news broadcast from "The White House" at 1:35 PM ET, featuring Karoline Leavitt speaking at a podium with a cross necklace, an American flag, and text indicating breaking news about a Senate shutdown vote.
It should start smoking any second. Also, all patients regardless of immigration status are asked to pay for emergency medical services if they are able, Karoline.

Growing up, my parents always stressed service to your community.
Itβs why I served as a federal law enforcement officer and CIA case officer, why I ran for Congress, and why Iβm running for Governor.
As Governor, service to Virginians will always be what drives me.

A screenshot of an X post with a black background and white text, featuring a "Being Liberal" logo in the top right corner. The post lists products launched by Donald Trump, including TrumpRX, Trump Gold Card, Trump Mobile, Trump Coin, and Trump Social/Truth Social. It also mentions upcoming projects: Trump Golf Resort in Qatar, Trump Plaza in Saudi Arabia, and Trump Tower in UAE. Additional claims include Melania having a crypto coin, Jared buying EA, and Trump accepting a $40M jet from Qatar. The post ends with a sarcastic remark about the Bushes and Clintons being the "swamp" and questions about grocery bills, salaries, and the feeling of getting poorer while the president and his family get richer.
And this is just a small sample of the scams and the grift!

After some of the biggest health care cuts in American history, Trump and his Republicans are now promoting one of the biggest health care cost increases in American history.
They can lie to our faces all they want, but thatβs what the GOP's government shutdown is all about.

A screenshot of an X post by Rep. Jamie Raskin (@RepRaskin

The post highlights a video posted by the President of the United States, a role once held by Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and FDR, and questions whether the price of groceries or housing has gone down for families or how a child's job search is going in the Trump economy. The embedded video, credited to Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump
), shows a dark, dramatic scene with hooded figures, one resembling the President holding drumsticks, with the U.S. Capitol building in the background, and a timestamp of 00:09/01:07.

This victory supports what Oregonians already know: we donβt need or want Donald Trump to provoke violence by deploying federal troops in our state. Iβll keep working to stop Trump from fulfilling his perverse fantasy of making Portland the center of his assault on U.S. cities.

The post reads: "Republicans can mock Democrats all they want, but the numbers donβt lie. By a 17 point margin, Americans blame the GOP for the shutdown. And Americans overwhelmingly back extending ACA subsidiesβ71% in WaPo, 78% in the KFF poll. This has nothing to do with 'healthcare for illegal immigrants,' and Trump knows it."
End the shutdown, GOP. Extend the ACA subsidies. Stop shoving more money at the billionaires.

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Hereβs What Never Arrived.
ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administrationβs cut...
Whenever Trump and Republicans talked about waste, fraud, and abuse, it was always projection.
Donald Trump's government is the most wasteful, fraudulent, and corrupt administration in American history.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.

JD Vance is outright LYING when he says Democrats are giving health care to illegal immigrants in our funding bill. How do I know? Because I wrote it!
Undocumented immigrants are NOT eligible for federal health care programs. But our bill DOES stop your premiums from doubling next year.

also, in keeping with Vanceβs view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)
