These kinds of things happened two decades ago under the last Republican president. A lot of people made a lot of short term money. Then it all came crashing down and his successor had to clean up a huge mess. Here we go again.

Mike Johnson has the House adjourned for 42 days, Trump just came back from a week in Asia, remodeled a WH bathroom and flew to Palm Beach for a golf weekend, they refuse to negotiate with Dems, Dems had to sue to get Trump to release SNAP funds, but Republicans are blaming Dems.

For his own vanity, Pete Hegseth is pulling our military leaders away from their missions around the world—
At great cost to American taxpayers and our national security.
In every way, this abrupt, unprecedented meeting is too high a price.
I’m demanding answers.

Well, what do Germans know about creeping fascism anyway?
“ABC and CBS are making a serious miscalculation. Their servility to Trump will not earn them peace, only greater pressure.”
That’s the German professional association of journalists, @djv.de, calling on major US media to support their journalists instead of preemptively silencing them.

NEW: Missouri voters have sued to stop Gov. Kehoe’s Trump-ordered gerrymander.

Americans have been duped.
Every other advanced country has universal healthcare, universal education, paid family leave, paid maternity leave, at least 6 weeks paid vacation, living wages, and a commitment to green energy.
That’s how you make America great.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.
In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.
Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.
