“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Congress is useless. This Administration is dangerous. This President is compromised. There is NO reason for Musk to have this level of access across our government. Our nation will rue the day we returned power to the GOP and re-elected this menace. #thepriceofeggs

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have made our farmers and families collateral damage in an idiotic trade war.
They're taking money out of their pockets and food out of their mouths — and for what?
I'm with the hard-working folks at Sola Gratia to hear how we can support them.

Ouch. Republican Representative Tom Barrett held a tele-town hall with his constituents in his swing district in Michigan on Monday and ran a survey asking if they support DOGE.
70% of the participants said they do not.

There are 756 billionaires in the US. Tax $100 million for each one...they won't feel it a bit. The poorest among them will still have at least $900 million left.
Give that $75,600 billion to each of the 154 million US Tax Payers. That amounts to $490 per tax payer.
Call it the Oligarch dividend.

Jeff Bezos recently said the Washington Post would only publish op-eds supporting "personal liberties" & "the free market."
In response, I submitted a letter asking Mr. Bezos to define his terms.
I'm releasing the letter in light of WaPo’s refusal to respond. After all, democracy dies in darkness.

Not a word from Trump politicians who posted this misinformation on their websites and Facebook.
They got a lot of their base to use every foul permutation of vitriol to describe Democrats who didn't vote for cutting taxes on tips, social security and overtime.
Because there was no such bill!

The House just passed its budget resolution. Hoping that no one actually reads H Con. Res. 14, some Trump-aligned politicians are saying all Democrats voted against:
*Tax cuts on Social Security
*Tax cuts on overtime
*Tax cuts on tips.
You can read it yourself. No such tax cuts are in it.

Firing public servants is a Trojan Horse. Sure, everyone hates waste and inefficiency.
Consider: There were no fires in my neighborhood yesterday. Our firefighters were not actively engaged in fighting fires.
Musk: FIRE them....They aren't doing anything.
