Confused by everything going on? It's intentional. It's an old Soviet playbook called "Active Measures". He's a New York Times doc explaining what Active Measures is and how and why it's being used on Americans:

THANK YOU to the 79 House Dems (see below) who voted against tabling Rep. Al Green's motion to impeach Donald Trump for high crimes & misdemeanors for his unconstitutional usurpation of Congress's warmaking powers.
Shame on the 128 who voted with the GOP to kill it.

To everyone asking “what do you expect Democrats to DO??” well to start they could take the extremely easy step of not doing this.
By a vote of 61-35, the #Senate confirmed Daniel Zimmerman to be an Assistant Secretary of Defense.

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.
Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.
I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

Trump probably said, "that's a lot for them kind of people".
To recap:
—Cost to have a baby: $33K
—Cost for annual childcare: $20K
—Cost of median house: $419K
Meanwhile, Trump's "solution" to the decrease in birth rates?
Give parents $5000 to have a baby.
This isn't just performative—it's offensively stupid.
Moreover, here's what MAGAs WON'T do
