Good morning Blue Sky Bring all your energy today
We all need to be doing this throughout our entire fucking country now. Let's STOP THIS CRIMINAL GOVERNMENT. Most of the Democrats are complicit, and the Republicans are just fucking evil and vile - all of them.

The New York Times' story about Trump calling for the execution of members of Congress ran on Page 16 today, with an itty-bitty promo on the front about halfway down the page.
No wonder Trump thinks he can get away with anything.

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks, don't you think?
A week before he voted to cut Medicaid, Republican Congressman Rob Bresnahan dumped up to $130,000 worth of stock in four companies that manage nearly half of all Medicaid enrollees in the country.

Rep. Rob Bresnahan sold stock in several Medicaid providers before voting for cuts
The Pennsylvania Republican is one of several members who have come under scrutiny for stock trading as Congress eyes a potential ban.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

Of course they “lost” it.
And of course it happened the day after they got sued.
Because nothing screams “totally innocent agency behaving with complete transparency” like watching critical evidence vanish into the same cosmic void where accountability goes to die.

Class 48. Harnessing a Common Identity to Promote Democracy
Is there a way to get people to identify with the traits that unite, rather than divide us to change their thinking and behave in our collective interests?

Trump and Hegesth need people to be mindless zombies, only follow the orders that their given, not think more holistically about them. So literally anything that might cause someone to question: Is this order aligned with my oath? is a huge threat. To them, "treason" (which it's not) /END

What the ad does is remind servicemembers of their duty/loyalty to the Constitution, not to the person giving them orders. It is a subtle reorientation of their duty to higher principles. But for Trump and Hegseth, this is a problem 4/

It's important to understand what this ad does and why it is so threatening to the Trump admin. It gets to social identity theory, which posits that we have many identities, and the one which is salient in a given context will dictate how we think/behave in a particular situation. 1/
WATCH: After six Democratic lawmakers posted a video urging members of the military not to follow illegal orders, Trump erupted online, accusing them of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Sen. Elissa Slotkin, one of the senators in that video, joins Chris Hayes to respond.

Trump tariffs to reduce US deficits by $1 trillion less than previous estimate, CBO says
President Donald Trump's tariff increases on imports from foreign countries will reduce U.S. deficits by $3 trillion if they are maintained through 2035, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimated on Thursday, instead of the $4 trillion the agency projected in August.

Did you know that ICE personnel, like all federal officers, swear an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution, similar to the military oath. This obligates them to obey only lawful orders. The day of reckoning is coming. There will be a day like the Nuremberg trials in the United States. Mark my words.🔄

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

I have little doubt that Hitler & his party knew that they were righteous & immune in their atrocities. It is fortunate that the Nuremberg trials saw it differently. Following orders is not an excuse. I hope the ICC brings everyone involved to justice.
