I fully expect to see an “ID required to enter” sign scrawled in black Sharpie next time I’m at the grocery store
Trump: "It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do and that's terminate the filibuster ... we should start tonight with 'the country's open, congratulations,' then we should pass voted ID, we should pass no mail in voting ... you go to a grocery store, you have to give ID."

For nearly four years, the mainstream press AND right wing propaganda talked non-stop about the pain Americans were feeling because of the covid inflation. I surely hope we get just as much coverage of the Trump's tariff "transition cost" that's already being felt on main street.

If Trump’s goal were to imprison/deport dangerous criminals, he’d do it easily without a fight. But due process would defeat his real purpose: to intimidate vulnerable people. Proving that people are criminals does nothing to convince law-abiding people that the same thing could happen to them.
