Trump hoodwinked his voters and he’s still trying to do it today…
2024: he dropped a campaign video titled “Make America Affordable Again” on day one.
2025: he hasn’t done squat to bring costs down, prices are climbing, and suddenly “affordability is a Democrat scam” because he’s panicking.

“The fear generated by this action is totally inconsistent with the goal of having a government that follows the law rather than doing whatever it pleases," a former IRS commissioner told @michaelmechanic.bsky.social, of the Wall Street Journal's Trump-IRS bombshell.
It sure looks like Trump is about to weaponize the IRS
That is very, very bad—and also illegal.

There will now be 10,000 new ICE agents & 100,000 new detention beds--and few safeguards protecting people from constitutional violations by the feds.
Time for states to pass laws allowing people to sue fed agents. Read about it these "converse-1983" statutes here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Our oldest daughter just drove by an anti-Trump protest in Kansas with three women holding signs. She was so excited to see them that she immediately sent me text.

“ICE” is detaining people without charges and blocking attorney access.
I hope L.A. and California are transparent about the data, because I bet most of these folks have no criminal record—just moms, dads and young people doing the work that most Americans won’t touch.
