I asked Trump's former OMB director Mick Mulvaney to acknowledge it's a lie that undocumented immigrants get ACA subsidies (they don't), and he ended the interview.

"Would you agree that not a single dime of ACA subsidies goes toward undocumented immigrants?"

"I'm not gonna do this anymore."

It’s strange enough that the US President shared (then deleted) an AI video pushing a fake “cure-all medbed card.” It’s even more strange that the video was a fake news segment starring himself. It takes a special kind of dumb to get fooled by your own AI clone.

You ever just stop and think about how the good ol’ days in chaotic American politics was just George W. Bush dodging footwear in a Baghdad press room? Now it feels like we’re all taking a shoe to the face, every second of the day.

Let’s just put it on the record and call it like it is, the White House is attempting to get people hurt by pitting Americans against each other. This is not okay, this is not democracy, and this is definitely not the way.

“Kimmel’s refusal to capitulate stands out because so many other well-situated people—those with the resources, platform, and power to stand up to the president, including, initially, the leaders of ABC—have surrendered, withdrawn, or become Trump sycophants…

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Trump is threatening to sabotage HIS OWN GOVERNMENT if there is a shutdown.

Ok. Thats dumb but you own that.

Why are we not hearing Dem leaders saying that? “Well that sounds reckless, Americans won’t be happy about that.”

The Trump administration’s threat to deploy troops in Portland is unlawful.

Here’s a thought.

Focus on protecting the healthcare of the American people.

When a lower court judge rules that a Trump admin policy is illegal & blocks it, Trump’s DOJ rushes an emergency appeal to the SCOTUS’s “shadow docket” to get it overturned. They usually win. Emergency requests have their uses, but the Trump admin is abusing the system. And SCOTUS is letting him.
How the Supreme Court’s 'shadow docket' keeps the public – and other judges – in the dark 
President Trump has submitted a record number of emergency cases to the Supreme Court’s “shadow docket,” persuading it to overturn lower court rulings that go against his administration’s policies. Slate senior writer Mark Joseph Stern warns the high court is giving Trump “unprecedented control over the federal government” with little or no explanation and even less transparency. Jeff Rosen says its use of the shadow docket “invites chaos.”

“The polite phrase for this is ‘democratic backsliding.’ But that’s a euphemism that doesn’t meet the moment. Let’s call it what it is: it’s a power grab. The rule of law isn’t slipping; leaders are sabotaging it. Rights aren’t being neglected; they’re being stripped."

Donald Trump is going to wage war on American cities over a fake crisis that isn’t happening involving a fake “terrorist organization” which doesn’t exist, so he can stop us from talking about the real child sex trafficking files he’s very much in.
