When will Republicans, veterans organizations, & retired military officers speak up about this? No president in the history of the Republic has done this. Yet Trump, Vance, & Hegseth do it constantly. It betrays the most important core value of our military-no partisan politics.

Wealth inequality has set the stage for our current political condition. The billionaires stay in power by dividing the groups who might otherwise unite and oust them from power. The race baiting, xenophobia, homophobia, and faux religious pandering is all part of the strategy. We shall overcome.
For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.
Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.
This is why we must fix the system. AOC is right.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Some of these people;

And this is how they’re being treated.

I’m sure the lawmakers who were outraged that their toll (phone) records were obtained in the course of a predicated federal investigation through a subpoena are going to back Rep. Jayapal in being outraged at just lawless surveillance of her (and likely others’) search history, right?
"It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files. (US Attorney General) Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched." - Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).

The entire ethos of the Trump administration is that nobody who disagrees with them, nobody who fails to support them, is legitimate or entitled to any rights in any way. It is the ethos of thuggish tyranny.
I can't think of an attorney general ever showing this much open contempt for Congress before.
Not only would most of them think this kind of conduct was beneath them, they'd have known that the Judiciary Committee chair, whatever the party, would never stand for clownish antics like this.
