I don't think people are really processing the fact that the sitting U.S. President and his team — and maybe the Supreme Court — and maybe half the Congress — want to force us to accept that we should obey the President and not the Constitution.
I don't know what news would be bigger than that.

Trump is making a conscious decision not to fund SNAP. This isn’t an accident — it’s intentional. It shows exactly how he feels about the American people: we’re disposable to him unless we serve his interests.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.
