Vance tagging Trump as America’s Hitler is looking a lot different in present context.

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 34m

J.D. Vance is joyously Nazi adjacent. His response to the Politico story isn't why we get to say that, though it makes it clear to normies, his entire internet presence and friendship with and constant casual conversation with neo Nszis lets us say that.

How weird, hasn’t all social media has issues today? The install of neo-nazi tracking spyware?

Vice President JD Vance has yet to denounce the explicit praise for Hitler, calls to send political opponents “to the gas chamber,” racist slurs, and endorsements of sexual violence.

Does anyone know what Trump’s Proud Boy gangbangers (which he’s hiding inside masked ICE costumes) did to the cartels?

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 1h

President Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum expanding his administration’s authority to repurpose unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown, escalating his challenge to the authority of Congress on spending matters.

Trump Signs Memo Expanding His Authority to Spend Federal Money

The president gave Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wide authority to repurpose funds to pay members of the military without approval from Congress, which has the sole constitutional authority to decide federal spending.

MAGA thought they elected Trump to save America, but instead he’s saving Argentina. $40 billion now going to Trump’s buddy Javier Milei, while Americans can’t afford groceries, gas, or basic healthcare.

The Founders tried to construct a government that featured all kinds of guardrails to protect liberty. They didn’t want to count too much on uncommon courage or wisdom from the people. And yet that's what it's coming down to.

It’s Getting Worse.

The Trump administration’s assault on the rest of us is intensifying.

It's "far from normal for an administration to fire line-level civilian employees during a government shutdown as a way to punish the opposing political party."

From a judge's TRO blocking Trump's mass firings under cover of the shutdown

It is also far from normal for an administration to fire line-level civilian employees during a
government shutdown as a way to punish the opposing political party. But this is precisely what President Trump has announced he is doing, by taking to social media on the second day of the
shutdown to post: “I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent. I can’t believe
the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity.”

Montana, if you had kept Jon Tester as your Senator, you would have had a Senator fighting to keep jobs in your state instead of a guy who will never oppose anything Trump ever does and who tries to gaslight you.

Choose better next time.

“We know where your brother goes to school,” Epstein said. He let that sink in ..., then got to the point: “You must never tell a soul what goes on in this house.” He was smiling, but his threat was clear. “And I own the Palm Beach police department,” he said, “so they won’t do anything about it.”

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!
