i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.

US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies.

That our economy is booming, while they refuse to publish unemployment and inflation reports.

That they want to expose the deep state cabal, while they actively protect them in the Epstein files.

You can either be gaslit forever or demand a better government.

The choice is yours.

They’re telling you…

That prices are down, while all your bills are going up.

That tariffs don’t raise prices, but now they’re lowering tariffs for some items in order to…wait for it…reduce prices.

That they don’t have money for SNAP or healthcare, while they send $40B to Argentina.

As the humanitarian crisis in Gaza goes on, extremist Israeli settlers in the West Bank are attacking Palestinians with impunity, displacing them & disrupting the olive harvest. We must end our complicity. Opposing annexation isn't enough, we must demand an end to the occupation.
Israeli settler attacks in West Bank threaten vital olive harvest
Violent attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank are at a record high, the United Nations says, making it perilous to carry out the economically crucial harvest.

My thoughts are with the NYPD officer who was shot this morning in Brownsville and I am praying for his recovery. I'm grateful to law enforcement for their quick response and I will continue to monitor the situation as it develops.

Coons on Epstein files: "My hunch is that AG Bondi, having just been ordered on social media by the president to open an investigation into a series of high-profile Dems, will promptly say, 'No, there's an ongoing investigation, we can't disclose any of this,' and the president will back that up."

He knows they have the votes to filibuster in the Senate.

Or they have successfully destroyed everything showing he knew all about what Epstein was doing.

The jury thought the case was baloney
The Atlantic speaks with one of the jurors in the case of the man who threw a Subway sandwich at a federal agent.

The juror says that, despite two initial holdouts, it was ultimately pretty easy to acquit: "a clear majority felt it was nonsensical, like, don't waste our time or money."

My granddad was a refugee, my wife, our close friends and those of our kids are either immigrants or the children of immigrants.

Do ministers ever think about the message their rhetoric on "handouts" and "golden tickets" for migrants sends about whether this is a government for people like us?
