The authoritarian takover of the state bureaucracy might not *sound* like a big deal. But SCOTUS giving Trump the ability to fire the federal government is a God-King power, and represents a failure of the American Revolution.

Congressional investigations are likely the ONLY accountability this administration will face. Bondi won't arrest anyone. US officials can't be tried at the Hague. And even if we get a new AG in 2029, Trump is going to pardon everyone. These midterms are crucial for accountability.

If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

FACT CHECK:
The Afghan national who shot the National Guard members in DC was granted asylum status by the TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
But, Republicans have spent the whole day trying to gaslight MAGA idiots into believing it was Biden's fault. Unfortunately, anything works with these MAGA chuds.
