Why? The cruelty of this administration knows no bounds.
My 3rd graders were complaining about the cost of books at the book fair.
"Why are they so expensive?!"
"Inflation."
"What causes inflation?"
"Well, at least in part... Trump's tariffs."
"Oh! My parents voted for him."
🤦

"Well, the rules committee Republicans are scared shitless of Donald Trump, to put it bluntly. They don’t want to do anything to offend him, and so they’re part of the cover-up." HOW DO WE HOLD THESE REPUBLICANS ACCOUNTABLE?!
Transcript: Epstein Survivor Nukes Trump in Moving Speech as WH Panics
As pressure mounts on Trump and the GOP to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, a senior House Democrat explains why Republicans will have a very hard time maintaining the cover-up for much longer.

"'I'd respect you more if you told me you actually believe in this crap and that's why you were supporting the bill. But to tell me you don't believe in this stuff, you think it's going to hurt your own constituents, and vote for it anyway, that's cowardice.'"
This is a damning anecdote from Rep Jim McGovern. He tells me that during debate over Trump's big budget bill, House Rs privately admitted to him that it would screw over their own constituents, yet they had to vote for it anyway.
Read all of it. He wrecks them:

"For nearly a century, Democratic and Republican presidents alike have sought to amass more power. What's different now is the degree of disdain Mr. Trump has shown for Congress and the willingness of G.O.P. leaders to defer to him even when it means undercutting their coequal branch of government."

Soldiers in MRAPs rolling around Union Station—blocks from the Capitol—seems silly, performative, and useless.
But it raises a much darker question:
What would Trump have done on Jan. 6, 2021 if he had possessed then the kind of control over local law enforcement that he seeks to acquire today?
