Democracies don't end with a bang. They are slowly chipped away at until they become something else. Don't be fooled into thinking it can't happen here.

Momentum is a real thing.
Democrats finally had some, after massive turnouts for #NoKings and resounding wins in both red and blue states last week.
The majority of the country, rightfully so, held Trump and the GOP accountable for the government shutdown.

Democrats asked for ONE THING today to reopen the govt: Keep health insurance subsidies where they are at now for one year. That is IT. Nothing else.
Republicans said no.
So all the lies they tell every day about things Dems are asking for is BS.
Republicans OWN this shutdown.

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.
Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.
Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.
Glad everything worked out for them.
How about you?

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

If the GOP doesn’t want tax dollars going to food, healthcare, housing, ed, SS, veterans’ care, housing, research, science, art, infrastructure, transit, childcare, the environment, public broadcasting, diplomacy, regulatory agencies, or job training… WTF are we paying them for?

The Senate just voted to strip Donald Trump of his power to impose tariffs. Multiple Republicans abandoned him and joined Democrats to shut him down, second night in a row the GOP has turned on him. Trumps grip on his own party is cracking in real time.

🚨 NOT A DRILL: AI Job Apocalypse
People are literally training AI to take their own jobs.
It might be too late for a lot of us, but if you’re a student or a parent, this is a must-share and a reason to rethink taking on student debt in a field that may be taken over by artificial intelligence.

If you’re cheering for SNAP cuts because you think it’ll save you money… it won’t.
SNAP gives more to the economy than it takes.
When people are starving, things fall apart.
You’re inflicting suffering on others to make the rich richer and you can’t even see it.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.
Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.

The entire WH complex is 55,000 square - feet.
The ballroom is over 90,000 square feet.
And they are destroying a large part of the WH to build it.
I hate these people.
