This is the guy who lied on the stand at a trial in LA, telling the jury he witnessed the defendant assault the ICE officer, when the video showed the ICE officer assault the defendant. The jury took an hour to acquit. He's referred to immigrants as "filth, trash, and scum."

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employedβ€”but in jobs that pay poverty wages

I pointed out separately that 39% are children. And I could point out that most SNAP recipients have jobs which I've also pointed out elsewhere. But what I failed to mention is a lot of military members use SNAP... these guys REALLY hate the military

Make no mistake: Trump WANTS the shutdown. The two longest ones in history have come under his watch. He will just keep on trying to do whatever he wants because nobody is stopping him, and a shut-down government has no say in the matter.

And when one party holds all the power, a government shutdown is their fault. If Republicans need votes from the other side, they can't refuse to negotiate and compromise while blaming it all on the side that doesn't control things. This is all the leverage Democrats have to use.

You notice how during the Trump Shutdown, he's still doing things through "donor money" (like tearing down the East Wing), potentially even paying people he chooses to through "donor money," but there's no "donor money" to help the people the Trump shutdown is hurting the most?

You know Trump is going to name that fucking ballroom after himself, and you know he's going to find ways to make a profit for himself on it. Fuck him.

It's the return of the Portland Jail Blazers, only this time it's the head coach himself, not the players.

We went from "this won't impact the existing buildings at all" to "others renovated it too" to "he's just altering part of it" to "it's not actually part of the White House anyway" to "taxpayers aren't on the hook for it so it's fine."

Fuck everything about Trump and MAGA.

Trump tearing down the entire East Wing of the White House, during a government shutdown, without authorization or clearance, just to replace it with a gaudy, tacky ballroom that wasn't even supposed to impact anything already there, is one of the most inexcusable things yet.

The current MAGA line is "The East Wing isn't part of the actual White House!"

That's how they're trying to pass this off as fine.

This is why Republicans will do their crying via performative politics whenever Democrats do any gerrymandering whatsoever, but Republicans won't push to actually ban the practice. They've utilized it far more over time because they know it's their best chance to win.

Now, it's not enough to just say "I finally had enough and left this."

People who spent years helping enable this need to do more to atone for it, and do it openly.

It's not enough to say "I don't support this anymore". He needs to say, "I am so sorry for enabling this as long as I did. I was wrong, and I did wrong, and I hurt people in the process."

He's welcome to oppose Trump, but I will not greet him with open arms. He helped make this evil happen by hanging on long after it was clear exactly who and what Trump was and is.

I don't have any sympathy for him, any more than I have any sympathy for Ohio Senator Rob Portman coming out in favor of equal marriage rights because he only made that turn when it affected his immediate family.

Any Republican over the last ten years who has remained a Republican is complicit.

Honestly, he waited too fucking long, like every other Republican who propped up Trump as long as it meant a paycheck and/or an office.
