Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.
The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.
But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.”

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Thank you to the organizers of today's wildly successful (and peaceful) "No Kings" rallies. You did an amazing job. And thanks to all the millions of people who showed up to give us faith. And a special shout out to the White House regime and the Speaker of the House for all the free publicity!

The President of the United States has posted an AI video of himself unloading tons of raw sewage on American cities.
One of the targets in the AI video is Harry Sisson.

The dumbest possible people are making decisions that are causing incredible reputational harm to the US, and actual harm to its citizens.
The Trump administration on Saturday scrambled to rescind layoffs of hundreds of CDC scientists who were mistakenly fired on Friday night in what appeared to be a substantial procedural lapse.

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours.
Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

If you’re still pro-Trump, I don’t judge you for your choice of political party.
I judge you for your lack of morals, ethics, compassion & humanity.
I judge you for your support of racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, treason & fascism.
So will others. So will history.

While the nation has plenty of real problems to deal with, Trump is ignoring them to manufacture fake emergencies.
Why?
He wants more power — and he wants to distract from his unpopular agenda.
It should be clear that America’s actual national emergency is Donald J. Trump.
