What's it like living in DC under what is essentially martial law? In the 1970s I spent a lot of time on both sides of the Berlin Wall. This isn't Checkpoint Charlie; it's Checkpoint Donny. This is my Cold War vision where authoritarianism meets democracy. (Concept mine, executed by AI.) #USPOL #art

MAGA's priorities: Owning the libs and traumatizing federal workers. This isn't an issue of right or left. This is a matter of right or wrong, and it is sadistic. People have committed suicide.

White House officials wanted to put federal workers ‘in trauma.’ It’s working.
Federal workers describe struggling with panic attacks, depression, suicidal thoughts. “Why doesn’t anyone care?”

Marco Rubio is my 80th portrait in my "Faces of the Republican Party" series. Over 200 illegal immigrants are deported to a Salvadoran prison. ICE agents in ski masks pluck students off the streets. No due process. Secretary of Rubio supports these illegal actions
