Yeah, one of the many nightmare scenarios facing us is that a badly led and mostly destroyed intelligence infrastructure fails to prevent a major terrorist attack and that attack is then used as justification to speed up the fascism.
I do in fact stay awake at night sometimes thinking about how the MAGA ghouls are destroying actually-essential counterterrorism efforts in favor of directing resources towards brutalizing elderly taco truck workers
NEW: Oregon could lose nearly $18 million worth of terrorism prevention and emergency funding.
In the past, the money has paid for bomb detectors, law enforcement training and barriers that prevent cars from plowing into crowds.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

He's wiping out your life savings, destroying the Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid upon which you were promised you could depend, ending the medical research that would protect and prolong your life and that of your families & gutting your liberties...and he doesn't care about any of it.

A mere 19 months ago, Trump’s net worth was $2.6B, and he owed hundreds of millions in civil penalties. Today, Trump is worth $7.1B, and most of the civil penalties have been tossed out.

Trump’s tariffs aren’t taxes on foreign countries—they’re a tax on you. Higher prices on groceries, cars, and fuel are the real cost of his trade wars. I break it all down—from his first Admin to the present. Read, share & know who’s really paying. www.livingitwitholiviatroye.com/p/the-tariff...

It is your patriotic duty to listen to this speech. Every single word. An essential guide to the deep, unfathomable corruption the new Trump administration is carrying out on a daily basis.
The corruption is so blatant and frequent as to anesthetize us against seeing it as problematic and demanding that it stop. Do not be dulled into thinking it’s okay. Great speech by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social youtu.be/hycoCYenXls?...

In the interest of saving your valuable time, here’s a summary of Trump’s address last night : “He lied and said some crazy sh*t.”
Based on the lies the president and his minions are spewing about Social Security , they’re going to try to gut it in exchange for tax cuts for the ultra wealthy.

Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.
