Trump is such a gaslighter, and some people just love being gaslit by him.

People will study this for centuries

I have a paid subscription to The Atlantic because I find analysis articles such as Tom's important, but I also love the great writing of the longer articles which are worth the price and reading time.

And so I get unlimited gift articles.

Here you all go. Enjoy.

Tulsi Gabbard, campaigning for Trump in 2024: “I am committed to doing all that I can to send President Trump back to the White House …because I am confident that his first task will be to do the work to walk us back from the brink of war.”

Good morning.

If the the Senate passes the Republican budget bill, 40% of American families - those with lower and middle incomes - will LOSE money. They will become poorer.

But the richest families will get an average $270,000 tax cut.

Because they only care about the rich.

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem.

Right fucking now.

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors.

This ain’t about law and order.

This is what authoritarianism looks like.

L.A. is a Mexican-American city. The majority of the population is made up of racial and ethnic minorities. We are all happy living together and really do not want to see our friends, neighbors and families being terrorized by federal robo-cops. This is bullshit.

If anyone you know in ICE tells you they’re “just following orders” remind them of the following:

- they can read

- they’re aware of the SCOTUS ruling and numerous injunctions around the illegality of what they’re doing

- feigning ignorance will not soften their place in history…or in America.
