Rep. Joe Neguse (D-CO02) & Assistant House Minority Leader to Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY08):

"There's a reason that Steve Bannon has compared the Congress to the Duma [Russian lower house]

It's because that is the way in which Speaker Johnson and House Republicans are functioning"

East Wing demolition has begun. White House says Ballroom construction “will begin … Sept 2025” & is expected to be completed “long before the end of President Trump’s term”

How is that possible?

Even ignoring planning approvals & security restrictions for site access it is a 2.5-3 year build

Some people appear to be taking Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) & Trump's "Who's funding the protests?" question at face value

This is a process to dismantle US democratic institutions & enact retribution against those on Trump's long grievance list - George Soros is near the top of that list

"Trump WH says its prepared to 'ride out' the shut down. That translates to: This was planned."

It was all planned - but no-one is talking about it

Any lingering doubts that the Republicans are moving full speed ahead for authoritarian rule … ?

No Kings October 18 rallies across America are being portrayed by the Speaker of the House as terrorist led - under the new "Anti-American" label instituted by Trump
