MAGA thinks this way, unless it is someone in their own tribe...
“At the heart of [Trumpist] policies is soft eugenics thinking – the idea that if you take away life-saving healthcare and services from the vulnerable, then you can let nature take its course and only the strong will survive.” [theguardian.com]
Maga’s era of ‘soft eugenics’: let the weak get sick, help the clever breed

69M married women could lose their voting rights if the SAVE Act is passed. Transgender individuals too.

Why? Absent a valid passport, you must present a birth certificate *with the same name as your registration* to be registered.

This is insane!

Tariffs based not on strategic decisions to incubate or protect key industries, but based on balance-of-payments calculations using domain name extensions to make the list are reckless, incompetent, and cruel.

Honestly might be the most nakedly anti-democratic move to invalidate a free and fair election in NC since the Wilmington Race Massacre of 1898
BREAKING: Republican-majority panel of the Republican-majority NC Court of Appeals rules 2-1 that the Republican candidate for Supreme Court (their colleague on the Court of Appeals) wins the election even though he got several hundred fewer votes than the Dem

But because of the flagrant misconduct and abuse of power of the Attorney General of the United States.

This is how a country loses its rule of law.

Today, at the Justice Department's urging, a judge dismissed a serious corruption case against the Mayor of New York.

Not because there was any lack of evidence.

Not because of any misconduct by the prosecutors…

I am a Democrat

Was as an elected official and town party chair

Stuffed envelopes, went door-to-door, joined social media campaigns, represented Democrats in court-participated at every level

I’ll always be a Democrat

And I’m telling leadership

You need to listen

Step down @schumer.senate.gov
Friends,

This isn’t about shifting left or right. It’s about making sure Democrats listen to the people they serve and function as a winning political machine.

Our leaders acting like ventriloquist dummies for Putin. Disgusting.
Trump to Zelenskyy: "Don't tell us what we're gonna feel. You're in no position to dictate that. You're in no position to dictate what we're gonna feel. We're gonna feel very good and very strong. You're right now not in a very good position. You're gambling with World War 3."

This isn’t an administration. This is an occupation by terrorists who are working on behalf of a hostile foreign power and are actively destroying the government, looting the treasury, and deliberately trying to kill us all. S. O. Fucking. S.

Zelensky is a hero and a president to be proud of! A very brave man who is trying to save his country. 🇺🇦🇺🇦

Our FOTUS is a bully, an embarrassment and a coward who is trying to destroy our country.

See the difference?

Trump purging every federal prosecutor and FBI agent who worked on his cases is intended to send a message that if you investigate him--or any MAGA Republican--you will lose your job. MAGA Republicans will now be able to commit crimes with no fear of ever being prosecuted.

HELL YES:

Michael Steele delivers a genius game-plan to absolutely DERAIL the GOP.

Democrats need to STOP helping Republicans. “Let them choke on (their majority).”

His words were BLUNT:

“Y'all need to chill on this, all this kumbaya partisan bi-partisan crap.” He added.

A president’s executive order cannot undo a law or a Supreme Court decision, let alone a provision of the Constitution. Forget that and you do have a dictatorship on day one.

The richest men in the world are on stage with Trump.

The real dividing line in this country is not between right and left, it’s between oligarchs and the people.

The rest is a distraction — And it’s how they keep power.
