Whenever someone says, "Most [fill in the blank] are/aren't [fill in the blank] without evidence, it's a gross generalization—a personal statement that doesn't say anything. However, it does reveal something about the person who said it.

My 87th portrait in my "Faces of the Republican Party" series, a U.S. Attorney for Washington, DC, Jeanine Pirro. Like Trump, she has the fiery rhetoric of a cult leader. #USPOL #art

AI (with Photoshop) image of the interior of a DC Metro car with militarized ICE agents looking at everyone's ID. A sign on the window shows an American flag and the words, "All Metro riders must be documented."

Trump's militarization of DC's police force to "reduce crime" (when the crime in the city has dropped precipitously over the last few years) is a deflection. This image represents a possible scenario should we continue to slip into authoritarianism. #USPOL #art

What's it like living in a city under what is essentially martial law? In the 1970s, I spent a lot of time on both sides of the Berlin Wall. This isn't Checkpoint Charlie; it's Checkpoint Donny. This is my Cold War vision where authoritarianism meets democracy. (Concept mine, executed by AI.)

Smithsonian restores Trump to impeachment display in American history museum The National Museum of American History last month removed a placard describing the president’s two impeachments. The new text makes minor changes — and offers slightly less detail.

White House officials wanted to put federal workers ‘in trauma.’ It’s working. Federal workers describe struggling with panic attacks, depression, suicidal thoughts. “Why doesn’t anyone care?”

MAGA's priorities: Owning the libs and traumatizing federal workers. This isn't an issue of right or left. This is a matter of right or wrong, and it is sadistic. People have committed suicide.
