The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

My grandfather, who was a WWII vet and staunch republican, would be horrified at the “speech”. Disgraceful.

Perfect image for this moment -- Pete Hegseth wasted millions of dollars flying military leaders from across the globe to hear him blather about gender-neutral physical fitness standards and appearance, and the chryon in the corner notes the government is about to shut down.

Not only is our new acting director of the CDC NOT a scientist, but he also has deep ties to Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley’s techno-utopia movement.

First, Donald Trump used the Marines and the National Guard to support his mass deportation agenda in Los Angeles.
Now, he's using similar tactics in D.C. like a tinpot dictator.

Trump's raw authoritarian power grab in DC is part of a growing national crisis. He's playing dictator in our nation's capital as a dress rehearsal as he pushes democracy to the brink.
This assault on freedom is exactly why we've fought for DC statehood and to give DC control of its National Guard.

And by the way, Trump couldn't care less about safety in DC or the people of DC. If he did, he wouldn't have blocked DC from spending $1 billion of its OWN money to fund its OWN police department, schools and more.
This is flatly about testing the limits of his power.

Trump is invoking Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act, which authorizes him to seize control of the entire DC police department for a maximum of 30 days.
This is insane stuff. D.C. is not in the grip of a crime wave. Crime has been falling for three years now. Violent crime is at a 30-year low.

For anyone who isn’t clear this is straight from the authoritarian playbook.
Breaking: Trump says he's placing the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control and deploying the National Guard to the streets of Washington D.C.

Ghislaine Maxwell has been barred from participating in service dog training while in prison because of her crimes.
I feel like if prison officials don't trust you around dogs, you shouldn't be eligible for a pardon under any circumstances.
