Anyone else notice babyface Mike Johnson is getting more air time lately? And he weasels out of every pointed question: "I haven't seen/read..." for future deniability.
Strongly suspect he's being positioned as next Maga presidential candidate. Miller, Vought, Vance, too unlikeable.

Due process. Academic freedom. An independent judiciary. A free press. A professional civil service. A protected environment. These aren't partisan talking points; they are the pillars of a healthy nation. And every single one of them is under direct assault by the Trump administration.

Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.

You’ve heard of Donald Trump. But have you heard of Russell Vought?

He’s the man behind Project 2025—a 900-page roadmap for dismantling democracy and rebuilding it in the image of the far-right. Six months in, Trump is executing this plan step-for-step.

For those confused about why the current administration seems intent on destroying all that is good about our country, Men in Black (1997) can explain:
“[Would be authoritarian regimes] thrive on carnage, tiger. They consume, infest, destroy, live off the death and destruction of other species"

The "Big Boondoggle for Billionaires" is going to devastate rural hospitals and healthcare. Hidden in the fine print are cuts to MEDICARE in addition to Medicaid.

And who is doing the manipulating?
Ask yourself: If the President so easily falls for photoshopped pictures he sees on Truth Social, what other complete falsehoods is he relying on when he makes decisions? How else is he being manipulated?

That wasn’t funny. It was scary.

Trump is PSYCHO
This exchange is so very telling.

Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:

"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

It's horrible. I think Russell Vought is playing a big part in all of this too. They have had 4 years to plan this take down of our democracy. Trump has just been the instrument or figurehead for them. All he cares about is revenge and money.

DOGE gremlins are completely unqualified to understand, let alone judge science proposals, and their standard approach of blindly destroying as much as possible as quickly as possible is stupid, counterproductive and inefficient in the extreme.
