Rep. Adam Smith: "Look, it's pretty clear the president wants his own domestic police force and step by step he's trying to create it. We should be deeply alarmed by that regardless of how you feel about crime in DC or any other city ... it's a huge step toward an autocratic government."

1/2 They’re not just making videos. They’re sounding the alarm.
Because the threat to American freedom isn’t just creeping in through politics—it’s marching in robes and crosses, cloaked in Christian nationalism, hell-bent on turning pulpits into pulpits of power.
This isn’t faith. It’s fanaticism

NIH is an amazing institution with first-rate scientists and we're losing them + valuable research and innovation because of schmucks like Vought who lie their a**es off in service of an agenda.
this is not just a laughable farce of an argument from Vought, but if the NIH actually were a corporation that produces that much world-leading research & output, its stock price & valuation would *EASILY* make it one of the most valuable institutions on the planet.
TAPPER: 14 Republicans say you're risking undermining critical research by holding up NIH funding
VOUGHT: If they were a company, their stock price would in shambles. They in some respects caused the pandemic. You have an entire institute that does nothing more than DEI research at the NIH.

The real smash and grab…
🚨 Social Security is on the chopping block.
Thanks to Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” retirees are now staring down $18K/yr benefit cut in just seven years.
• The poverty rate for seniors will double
Billionaires got their tax break, though.

Watch every second of this.
Our worst fears are here. With Trump’s new bill, the police state is no longer looming—it’s official.
Expect more raids on a massive scale, shattered families, and a brutal crackdown on humanitarian protections.

"Unlike January 2021 — when the Big Lie scheme failed — by 2029 Trump and his cohorts will have new tools to carry out a coup, including a massive federal police force with a proven willingness to engage in systemic illegality at Trump's behest."
