Trump's chaos and confusion shortchanged Wisconsinites by $100m in needed funds today alone. This isn't amateur hour. People's livelihoods are at stake. Trump MUST get these funds out the door immediately.

As the mask keeps coming off and things start feeling more dystopian, just remember that the oppressor thrives off of our cynicism and hopelessness. Surround yourself with people who not only still believe a better world is possible, but that are actively building one through intentional actions.

Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand.
Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?”

A talking head on MSNBC just called Mike Johnson "a likable guy." The media's willingness to normalize the abnormal is killing us.
Johnson is likable if you like pro-insurrection Christofascists who hate gay people, support a Muslim ban and want to rip away health care from millions of Americans.
