If you were wondering what the “wonderful secret” Trump and Epstein shared was, these new emails appear to make it perfectly clear.

Alex Lawson: We're outside the Energy & Commerce committee with folks risking arrest to protest the destruction of Medicaid which is what Republicans are doing right now in the committee room.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

We are in a constitutional crisis. Not “maybe” but yes that’s where we are.

The executive branch has chosen to defy the judicial branch.

They have chosen to defy the rule of law & due process.

Return Mr Abrego Garcia now.

“McGuire just voted to cut Medicaid for 160,000 constituents.”

A punchy, fact-filled post by watchmanVA5 on what our Congressman just did.

(In general, subscribing to watchmanVA5 is a good idea if you want to keep up on what our Congressman is up to.)

McGuire just voted to cut Medicaid for 160,000 constituents
He also greenlit cutting food and cash assistance for low-income families. Here's how that affects our neighbors.

The best case scenario is that this is a stock shorting scheme, and in a week, there will be masterful (non-existent) "dealmaking" that removes the tariffs after the billionaires buy the dip causing a massive transfer of wealth.

That's the *best* case scenario.

These days, however, Paul, Weiss doesn’t seem to want to talk about the Center’s future. It’s among the starkest examples yet of how key institutions of civil society are knuckling under, rather than holding firm, in the face of President Donald Trump’s attacks.
Paul, Weiss Said It Felt ‘Called Upon’ to Launch a Center to Fight Hate. Now It Won’t Talk About It.

Remembering when in December Trump announced:

"The media is tamed down a little bit. They like us much better now, I think. If they don’t, then we’ll just have to take them on again, and we don’t want to do that."

It is amazing how right he was and how cowardly so many of them have become.

I guess he said it pretty clearly. Without seeming to realize that the most vulnerable can’t get a passport and can’t flee. And he doesn’t say flee so you can fight. He says flee so you can have “new experiences”. How “liberating.” Thanks @timothysnyder.bsky.social
