I was part of the internal Trump administration team trying to convince the president to end the shutdown in 2018 - 2019 — for 35 days — before people went hungry, workers lost pay, and government services collapsed.
Here’s what I learned: he doesn’t give a shit.
On the bright side, Argentina’s stock market is doing great today after Trump gave them $40 billion. Meanwhile, Americans are expected to go hungry in just a few days.

This is next level authoritarianism.👇
"Following the suspension of two career prosecutors, the U.S. Department of Justice quietly revised a sentencing memo in a high-profile case — removing all references to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and President Donald Trump’s social media post."
Two federal prosecutors were placed on leave after seeking a stiff sentence for a Jan. 6 defendant who had been granted clemency and later appeared armed outside the home of former President Barack Obama.

The Senate voted 50–46 tonight to block Trump’s tariffs on Canada, and yesterday it voted to block his tariffs on Brazil. Now we need the house to vote. Where’s the House? Is Johnson still guarding the Epstein files?

The federal government keeps labeling everyone they go after as cartel members — and it keeps being proven false. These are the same people we’re supposed to trust when they execute people at sea under that very justification?

Thank you, @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for saying what no one else will
“The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no proof they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had evidence, they’d face a court, not a drone.”
When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

Together, we’ll show the world how joyful our resistance truly is and make it clear: In America, we don’t do wannabe dictators or kings.
JD Vance is refusing to condemn racist and antisemitic messages from Republican groups and Trump's press secretary is saying the Democratic Party is filled with "Hamas terrorists" and "violent criminals."

12 Democratic-led states are suing to block the cuts — alleging that Trump is trying to punish them for not cooperating with federal immigration agents.

And we're four months into the "Harvard is about to cave" narrative in MSM/NYT.
GOOD FOR PENN, BROWN, and MIT.
ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points.
But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.
Despite repeatedly promising not to cut Social Security, the Trump Admin is reportedly preparing a proposed rule that could reduce the share of applicants who qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance by up to 20%--which would be the largest cut ever. 🧵

Trump was asked multiple times to return US classified documents to the Archives. He refused. The case had mountains of evidence.
As for #Jan6, we all saw what happened.
These weren’t politically motivated cases.
They were criminal.
