I think this is a good summary of the Trump regime and 2025 in history, from the his new Acting Undersecretary of State. This is where we are now with the #Republican party.

Why They Mask
Veteran ICE officers know face coverings are a bad look. But they’re not coming off anytime soon.

As the leader of the Democratic caucus, you need to be strong enough to control your members and find unity. The senators who voted for this have deviated from the path. I hope there are some significant penalties for them turning this country over to fascists

My husband planned to retire in December. I'm not eligible for Medicare until Aug so I planned to get an Obamacare policy. I found one in Oct that was $800/month. Now it's $2000/month.

So now my husband isn't going to retire. I hate Trump & GOP so much.

Update: In 3 recent editorials, WaPo failed to disclose owner Jeff Bezos's interest in the matter under discussion.

WaPo added one disclosure after @bgrueskin.bsky.social called it out.

Two weeks after my story, the other two editorials still have none. And the paper still won't say why
'Washington Post' editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties
Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

Ok, y’all.
I’m quoting my post because I know Schumer voted no.
Why then am I admonishing him?
Because he’s the leader of the Senate Dems and couldn’t keep his people on point.
That is the leader’s job!
Never happened in The House when Pelosi was leader.
RESIGN!

Dear Chuck,
Fuck all the way off and thanks for being the weak man that Trump knew you’d be.

You are officially MAGA in my eyes.
Way to DO SOMETHING!
Please resign today.

America is in the midst of a Republican-made health care crisis—a crisis so severe, so urgent, and so devastating for American families that I cannot support a continuing resolution that fails to address it.

I am voting NO.

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.

YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

A Trumpified GOP imagined that it could build a multi-racial coalition at the same it was demonizing minorities — and targeting the Latino community with brute squads.

I'll never forget former LA mayor Eric Garcetti saying, "In a good economy, homelessness goes up."

A perfect illustration of what happens when "the economy" is measured by everything except people's ability to meet their most essential material needs.

"The economy" is GDP, corporate profits, and the stock market.

"Affordability" is wondering whether paying for your kid's medication means you won't be able to pay the rent.

It seems crucial (and long overdue) that our national political discourse has finally shifted from an obsession with "the economy" to what actually matters: whether people can afford the basic things they need to live.

While in prison for drug possession in Louisiana, Damon Landor, a Rastafarian whose faith requires him to let his hair grow long, was handcuffed by guards who forcibly shaved his dreadlocks. The Supreme Court will hear whether he can sue state prison officials for violating his religious rights.
