How many signs of democratic collapse do we need?
A push to impeach judges not for misconduct but defying Trump? Refusal to honor a court order to turn around planes? Trump invoking the Alien Enemies Act outside wartime? A budget clearing him to ignore Congress? Jailing students?
The list goes on.

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

So Musk’s people, who misread $8 million as $8 billion, who counted the same contracts multiple times and counted as savings programs that ended last year, claim that their AI is finding lots of Social Security fraud.
Why should anyone worry?

I have been turning beet red every time I see any major-media outlet imply that he is doing what he promised during the campaign.
It is actually shocking, and possibly historic, how much of what he is doing was either explicitly disavowed during the campaign or simply never mentioned at all.

When you take a step back, it’s genuinely stunning how far any of this is from anything Trump campaigned on. It aligns perfectly w Project 2025 of course, but in terms of Trump’s public rhetoric, this was totally absent.
Will be interesting to see how a state that shreds its own capacity to collect taxes can sustain global power status

While you weren't looking, Trump rolled back Biden's ethics rules prohibiting executive branch employees from accepting major gifts from lobbyists.
So much for "drain the swamp."

Kleptocracy
Last week, the Senate GOP passed a budget that included a $150B increase in military spending.
This week, the House GOP will vote on its own budget — which includes massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to pay for more billionaire tax cuts.
This isn't about what we can "afford."

The House Wants to Pass Trump’s Agenda in One Big Bill. Here’s What’s in It.
The G.O.P. bill would extend tax cuts and almost certainly make big reductions to programs serving the poor. Passing it may be hard, though.

House Republicans released a draft budget that aims to cut $2 trillion in spending.
The programs impacted could include Medicaid, SNAP, and education programs.
Why the cuts? To finance another round of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.
It's reverse Robin Hood.

This is where the problem is
Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
