The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

Scene outside ICE facility in Portland where DHS Sec. Noem is expected to visit today. Sound on for one protestor’s soundtrack.

“The recent change in the adult and children’s immunization schedule threaten the lives of the youngest Americans and pregnant people.”
This should be one of the biggest scandals in America right now. And every Democrat should be loudly calling for RFK Jr’s resignation

According to this Supreme Court, President Biden's Department of Education was exceeding its power by trying to forgive peoples' student loans.
President Trump, on the other hand, has the power to just completely dismantle the entire Education Department.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I grew up in rural South Carolina with a single mom who worked multiple jobs. At times, we relied on Medicaid and SNAP—like so many others. My heart breaks for those now wondering if that help will still be there.
Imagine having all that power and choosing to make people’s lives worse.
Shameful.

5/ So why support Trump? It's the taxes. Billionaires have constructed elaborate financial architectures that allow them to accumulate vast wealth while paying virtually nothing in taxes. This reveals a dangerous decoupling: billionaire interests have separated from general economic prosperity.

She is essentially being kept alive as an incubator for the fetus to become viable. This is the extreme cruelty that abortion laws inflict on families. She has been on a vent for 90 days. There is no guarantee the baby will survive or be born without severe deformity. The cruelty is the point.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.
It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

The failure of libertarians to pick the right side in this has exposed their whole thought system. A principled libertarian attack on limiting government overreach would be welcome at this time. Put no such thing exists. Libertarian just means selfish.
