In fact, it was with Rep Keith Ellison (now MN AG) staff interviews where I realized how members of Congress were migrating staff to districts to handle policy issues. In his case, national security & foreign policy. District staff normally just handle casework & local stuff.

When a president calls people “garbage” and his admin follows up by ripping away legal protections, that is how atrocities begin, not how democracies function.
Dehumanization is a tool of authoritarianism.
It tells the public some lives don’t count, invites abuse, and risks everyone’s rights.
