A hallmark of an abuser is doing really messed up stuff and then telling you that you’re the crazy one.

Or that you’re the violent one.

That’s what Trump is doing.

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate.

I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man.

Never change your last name.

Trump is such a such a useful idiot for the oligarchs that the NYT had bombshell reporting today that Space X has never paid federal income tax and it barely registered with American public.

Moore: We were able to see historic drops in violent crime, and never once did I activate the National Guard to do municipal policing.

This is not about performance — this is performative.

They are now using the military as pawns in this process to feed into this military fetish

So far this year, employers have announced plans to cut more than 800,000 jobs, the highest number since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The so-called Department of Government Efficiency, which has eliminated thousands of federal jobs, was the number one reason cited by many.

The Administration’s callous termination of Temporary Protected Status for Afghans leaves thousands at risk of being deported. This would be a terrible betrayal of so many who supported us during the war and I am fighting to get them the legal certainty they deserve.

This is a really terrific piece that reads like an American tragedy: a smart and curious young man interested in history and technology bought into the online far-right ideas about govt and used his talents to eviscerate it.

Texas Democrats are fundraising to potentially leave the state to block GOP-backed redistricting
The money could be used to cover the $500-a-day fines lawmakers would incur under House rules set to discourage members from absconding after Democrats fled the state in 2021.
