The use of terror is not a byproduct of Trumpian politics: it is central to how he governs.
(Politico) - An Indiana Senate Republican who President Donald Trump called out in a Truth Social post Sunday for not backing the White House’s plan to draw new congressional maps was later targeted by a swatting, according to local authorities.

Hey @GovBillLee do you have any concerns about your buddy Elon covering up firefighters and workers getting burned by chemicals in his tunnel?
“Workers go to peel off a sock and a chunk of skin comes off” 😳

I am sorry, but the first party to take up the banner of anti-corruption and accountability is going to have a hell of an easy time making its case and I honestly don't know why an opposition party isn't doing that already from every streetcorner they can.
Florida Senator Rick Scott is under fire for making millions trading stocks in companies he helped regulate. Reports show Scott and his family invested more than $26 million in firms that had direct business before the Senate committees he served on.

Seven out of 10 marketplace enrollees say if Affordable Care Act tax credits go away, they won't be able to afford their healthcare.
Healthcare shouldn't only be for the healthy and wealthy, but that's what's going to happen if these tax credits go away for good.

Trump's regime wants people to reapply for SNAP benefits, supposedly because they're cracking down on fraud and abuse. Americans should demand a re-count of the presidential election for the same reason. As for caring about abuse, I can't think of a more hypocritical group to make that claim.

A young woman was 17, homeless, & working at McDonald’s when former congressman Matt Gaetz first approached her. Yeah, the same Gaetz Trump wanted as AG.
She was living in &
