Sandwich Thrower Becomes Early Symbol Of Trump’s D.C. ‘Crime Emergency’ Both the White House and local activists have highlighted the Subway sub slinger amid Trumps’ police takeover.

"Everyone’s talking about the 'assault with a deli weapon,' the 'hurl of sandwich' — the felony with a footlong that occurred on Aug. 10 after federal law enforcement officers descended on the city."

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.

Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

How Does Trump’s Federal Takeover End? The president has opened the door to a permanent military occupation of the nation’s capital—and maybe other cities too.

Trump’s militarization of D.C. is escalating without any practical objective and no end point, @dgraham.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily. “That raises the scary prospect that it could just go on forever—or slide into martial law around the country.”

Inflation on the horizon!✌🏻❤️✊🏻

trump’s willingness to lie about just about everything is spreading throughout his administration!✌🏻

I have lost all patience with the apparently unshakeable conviction that striking a reasonable, moderate pose means assuming the sincerity of transparently pretextual horseshit. Donald Trump does not care about reducing crime in DC. He is testing and normalizing paramilitary deployments in cities.

Basing such unprecedented action on the blatant lie that crime in D.C. is soaring underscores that our democracy is under assault.

To write this off as a “distraction” misses the danger of the moment; the potential for unbridled deployment of the military for domestic policing.

Donald Trump and Republicans are pushing illegal maps that violate the Voting Rights Act.

Instead, Congress should pass fair, independent maps nationwide. Without that, Democratic states must consider all the options to protect our constitutional republic.

Like McCarthyism meets 1984

LEFT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has a tattoo in honor of a family member.

RIGHT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has facilitated and/or engaged in the sexual assault of over a thousand children.

CNN spoke with a farmer who lost a quarter of his 125-acre cherry harvest as a result of ICE raids.
Trump claims our farmers are important, yet his immigration policies are making workers scared to show up to work.

Loyalty to an individual over independence and competence!

Opinion | You May Not Be Trump’s Target This Time. But You Could Be Next.

With civil society itself under attack, our country’s foundations — our ability to hold the government accountable, to be free to dissent and debate, to support vulnerable communities — are also threatened. Even if you’re not the target this time, you could be next.

Economists Are Seriously Alarmed About Official Data Under Trump A new poll of economists finds an overwhelming majority agree that the U.S. government’s official data on the economy is a big problem.

A new poll of economists finds nearly 90% agree that the reliability of the U.S. government’s official data on the economy is a big problem.

Everything is a reality show, including our economic data!

“She’s worse than Epstein. She’s a monster… Epstein was Pinocchio, she was Geppetto.”

Epstein used Russian banks to process payments for his pedophile ring! Could the records of these transactions have been used by Putin to threaten Trump? Could this be the leverage Putin has had on Trump all these years? @hartmannreport.com

Let’s not let the truth get in the way!

The problem is it doesn’t have to be “credible” any more! Not when loyalists are in charge and the conservative media machine will run with it as though it were factual!
