MAGA: “The 2nd Amendment guarantees a militia to fight tyranny!”

Also MAGA: “It’s fine that Trump seized California’s National Guard against the governor’s will.”

You can’t have it both ways. Read why this matters.

Project 2025 laid out the plan for NOAA and FEMA, but folks voted for him anyway.

So now that Trump has gutted both agencies. You won’t know it’s coming, and to add insult to serious injury, when it tears through your community and state, FEMA may not show up to help.

When student loan borrowers are in default, how does the Trump regime respond?

By garnishing their wages.

When billionaires see their wealth hit record highs, how does the Trump regime respond?

By extending their tax cuts.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

It's outrageous that they gave Trump the powers trusted to them in the Constitution, even if just on an "emergency wink-wink basis"

It's unconscionable that they're now proposing a way to block themselves from taking their rightful powers back.
This is big: House Republicans tucked language into the budget res “rule” that bans the House from voting to terminate Trump’s emergency declaration used to impose tariffs. TL;DR lawmakers who vote for this are officially giving up their power to revoke his tariffs until October.

Sitting there with your little paddles and not leaving or interrupting this bullshit only grants it the veneer of normalcy.

This isn’t normal. And if you value decorum over the lives of trans people, over the destruction of democracy, go find another job. We don’t need you.

This is what House Republicans voted for tonight.

Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.
