Coming soon from the GOP: you too can denounce your neighbor and receive $300 in little silver coins. Then you can plunder your neighbor's apartment - after the GOP's goons are through with it.
Under GOP rule it will be wise not to demonstrate any kind of affluence, to avoid drawing attention.

ICE expands surveillance state in new and awful ways
So on Nov. 12, we learned that Immigration and Customs Enforcement was going to hire bounty hunters to track down immigrants and feed them to ICE. But what if government officials made that much, ...

Have you ever noticed that every Republican policy involves the death of Americans?
There is not a single element of the Republican stew that is not affirmatively organized around the death of citizens. Food, medicine, air and water, work rules, even religion.
The Party of Death owns them all.

Is that $Billions? Chump change. They gave that to Argentina. Spent it to buy a foreign president.
They lose that much in corporate taxes foregone. They lose that every month in inheritance taxes lost. They lose that every month in dollar depreciation.
And we are all poorer.

Word is that Ghislaine Maxwell will be released from her light prison duty in time for the dedication of the White House's new Epstein Wing. She will begin interviews and staffing immediately afterward.
The underground "bunkers" are something powerful Republicans avidly anticipate.

If you are against the illegal American invasion of Venezuela, speak up now and use every means. Because as soon as the dictator firms up his war, he'll make opinions that conflict with him rot in prison.
And as things develop, thank a Republican with pictures of the carnage.

Assuming we're alive and able to vote in 2028, it's hard to imagine any current Republican remaining in power. When a rational order asserts itself in DC, its first task is to take a bulldozer to that ballroom.

The difference between a school shooter and ICE?
The school shooter doesn't wear a mask.
The difference, to a child?
None.
In Idaho, these kids found their parents after being terrorized by ICE. They were the lucky ones. "I didn't get caught," says one.

If CBS intends to compete with Fox for the same right-wing turf, how do they go about it? Do they compete with bigger lies in a kind of propaganda-organ-wagging contest? ABC and NBC will be crowding on the same boat, at least until the King of Orange falls, so there's a lot of potential wagging.

Patel's lies are intended for the GOP faithful, not for the world at large. The world knows the GOP is shrouded in lies.
All the participants in the fascist takeover MUST present and develop the fabric of lies or the facade will crumble, taking them with it.
More judges need to say "You lie!".

The GOP wants to demonstrate that their hollowed-out federal government, as set up by the Constitution, is unworkable.
Their goal is to start over; to create a new national government in their own image.
One that is massively corrupt, thieving, lying, patrimonial syndicate - but more efficient.

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

GOP knows it's near impossible to make smart people believe their lies. They are focused on those who will. They need to convince the faithful that the shutdown, the bleeding economy, the kidnappings and the fascist takeover are all necessary sacrifices to keep the Democrats from taking power.
Johnson: Miss Grijalva has not yet had a scheduled date because she was elected after the house was out of session,

The first thing I want to know from every broke farmer is if they are now or have ever been a "card-carrying Republican".
Soybean Farmer: So now I've got a tariff war that's killing my market. I don't have any money from grain we're sending to other countries for USAID. I mean, I've got a compound problem. I don't know how you plan for next year because we don't know where we're at.

Live rounds are only a heartbeat away. I remember the shock of Kent State but at the rate Barbie Noem is escalating we'll have a daily Kent State and treat them as normal as a school shooting.
The good news? School shootings will diminish. Those shooters are now ICE and there's bigger game afoot.

Reduce inhaler use?
People with crisis-level respiratory problems rely on these things to keep them alive.
Reducing use means killing them.
Big Pharma will never tolerate killing off their customers.

Homes are burning, innocent people are being hit and gassed and shot, and killed.

The GOP is trying to kick-start a civil war. They keep pushing stuff like this until something explodes.
The country isn't young enough to sustain a civil war. It prefers the courts. Things still get destroyed but mediated battle is waged by professional word gladiators and little blood flows.
