Trump is basically going to war with Blue America. I fear that he will use this directive as an excuse to send the military into Blue cities, turn them into occupied territory, and use violence against those who oppose him.
Trump posted this deranged message ordering every federal agency, including the pentagon, to do mass deportations in major cities because of trans people. I wish I was joking.

If the Treasury Secretary does not remove DOGE’s access to the Treasury payment systems at once:
Congress must immediately act.
That is why Rep. Jeffries and I will work together on legislation to stop unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department’s payment systems.

I'm voting for Kamala and think she could be a great President, yet I understand the anger over Biden's Gaza policy. But to those not planning to vote for Harris: voting is not meant to reward or punish a candidate. It's about creating political possibilities and shaping conditions for democracy.
