A 1-year-old girl was pepper-sprayed through the window of a moving vehicle by ICE agents in Chicago. She was briefly hospitalized.
The dad said a masked agent pointed pepper-spray at a Sam's parking lot when they were hit.

So Mike Johnson won't commit on bringing up the healthcare subsidies if they're brought up.
Got it. Do you hear it now? All this for nothing!

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

This reminds me of his pitch for Trump’s miracle cure “signature” vitamin supplements in 2009, which were available for a bargain price if you signed up for a membership with the Trump Network and submitted a urine test because they customized them to your needs. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

You don’t compromise with hostage-takers. You don’t make deals with people who use mass starvation as a legislative tactic.
You’d have to be a fucking fool to trust Republicans on anything. They don’t compromise. They don’t bargain.

I believe that in future years, this series of maneuvers will be referred to as "the Curly Shuffle."
"Monday, a federal judge in Massachusetts issued an order blocking the Trump administration’s memo over the weekend telling states that they had to “undo” any full SNAP benefits payments to recipients, or face financial penalties."

The question of whether the Trump administration can be compelled to pay 42 million Americans full food stamp benefits is set to return to the Supreme Court.

This needs to be our mantra.
Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".
But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.
