Why is Trump and his regime moving so fast and aggressively to dismantle our Democracy and institutions?
Because this is what they fear most: that if people wake up, they’ll realize how small the ruling class actually is 👇

Really just incredibly horrifying to see these confirmations that gen z men are shifting towards abusive, violent and misogynist worldviews en masse. Lots of blame to go around but for me corporations like Spotify and Netflix helped this happen

🚨 BREAKING: Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders is appealing FEMA’s denial of a Major Disaster Declaration. This follows severe floods and tornadoes across the state, yet the federal government rejected the request for aid. Even GOP-led states are getting stiffed.

A harmful budget that funds Trump & Musk’s government take down and to cuts services working people rely on just passed.
A temporary lapse in funding would be better than this CR.
We are disappointed at the refusal of Leader Schumer & Senate Democrats to oppose this bill.

If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.

Shutting off USAID payments is bad, but it's not just that: if someone (Trump, Musk, a lackey, whoever) can unilaterally shut off Congressionally-appropriated payments, they can shut off anything. Medicare payments to certain hospitals. Social Security checks to selected voters. Sky's the limit.
CNN with an absolutely gigantic story:
"Elon Musk’s top lieutenants at the Treasury Department asked its acting secretary, a career civil servant, to immediately shut off all USAID payments using the department’s own ultra-sensitive payment processing system."
