The Trump administration's Justice Department has sued mostly Democratic-controlled states for detailed voter information, and the administration has sent the military into Democratic-run cities.

The president coughs up a bunch of numbers about how many lives are saved for every boat he blows out of the water, and you don't ask where that came from, and in your story that day, you don't show the slightest curiosity.

You're literally helping Russian linked Reuters spread the list of names the far right want targeted for harassment, ffs.

Why are so many on our side so clueless of even the basic methods of authoritarianism.
Reuters has done some really great investigative reporting on the impacts of Trump's retribution campaigns
Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.
