Vance is back in Indiana today, personally pressuring GOP lawmakers to ignore their conscience and enact an extreme gerrymandering plan. The fact that they have to send in the VP tells us something important and encouraging: politicalΒ pressure againstΒ this plan is working, even in deep red places.

This was always the plan.
Project 2025 was Donald Trump's blueprint to seize unchecked power within the federal government and restrict Americans' freedoms. And he is implementing it right in front of our eyes.

Trump wonβt get to heaven if he keeps murdering people on boats | Will Bunch
There was no legal or moral justification for the Trump-ordered boat bombing that killed 11 Venezuelans. It could be just the start.
Trump's fears about getting into Heaven didn't stop him from playing God himself and summarily executing 11 people on a boat who may have been drug dealers or might have been innocent migrants
The president wants you to know he can murder with impunity. My column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Just because the Trump administration labels a group or person a "terrorist" and uses the military tools of counterterrorism, it does not magically transform the target into a "terrorist" much less a lawful target for lethal force.

βThey are repurposing the βwar on terrorβ for entirely new sets of supposed enemies in a way that is radically inappropriate. Now the supposed terrorists are in our own backyard in the Caribbeanβ¦β
