Yesterday, Stephen Miller had one of the most terrifying Freudian slips I've ever heard.
He claimed Trump has plenary authority (absolute power)—before cutting himself off.
Today, Trump said Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson should be *jailed*.
This is how authoritarian regimes talk. (1/3)

A new KFF study reports: 24 million Americans will see their health care premiums under the Affordable Care Act DOUBLE.
Further, 15 million people will be thrown off their health care entirely.
Unacceptable. We can’t subject millions of Americans to this unnecessary suffering.

This was always the plan.
Project 2025 was Donald Trump's blueprint to seize unchecked power within the federal government and restrict Americans' freedoms. And he is implementing it right in front of our eyes.

The Trump regime has created a system to search national citizenship data. Tools like this are used by authoritarian regimes to surveil people, suppress voters, and punish dissenters. This is another alarming and likely illegal development.

The Department of Homeland Security, with help from DOGE, has rolled out a tool that purports to be able to check the citizenship status of almost all Americans.
