I think a key part of this scheme is robbing as much money from blue states as possible in part to make Democrats who are electeds in these states less popular by creating budget crises there.
Fraud was the excuse: this is the real goal, revealed - reduce safety net funding, but only in blue states.
“Minnesota, New York, California, Illinois and Colorado will be cut off from around $7 billion in funding for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, which provides cash assistance to households with children, according to two people familiar with the matter.”

Monstrously cruel.

All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

And all have broken that promise.

🚨 This is the pic of Donald Trump on Epstein's plane with a child.

This is the pic the DOJ deleted yesterday.

Now they want to scrub this from the Internet.

Share this everywhere.

Reading Robers' report, it is clear that he is not really asking for judicial independence. Instead, he wants a free hand to legislate from the bench whatever far-right, anti-democratic policies the Republicans are unable to push through Congress.

Under Roberts, SCOTUS is a branch of the RNC.
Chief Justice John Roberts pushes for judicial independence in history-heavy report | CNN Politics
Chief Justice John Roberts touted the independence of the federal judiciary as a “counter-majoritarian check” and urged Americans rattled by partisan politics to keep faith with the Constitution.

Donald Trump is America at its worst. But maybe he has been a necessary evil ordained by history before the relighting of America’s true spirit.

I understand the need for people to look forward to the elections in November in order to change the regime. Please fight for everyone’s right to vote before November. Elections are not assured when Fascists are in charge.

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.

He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.
