Open defiance of a court order + dissolution of the House = dictatorship.

Dictators don't get voted out.

Trump confirms he is weaponizing hunger
It’s a Stalinist technique
#Holodomor
Look it up
Donald Trump is defying a court order to intentionally starve American citizens. It's wild when you say it out loud.

Trump said he’d be “the jobs president.” Turns out he meant job cuts. Nearly a million Americans out of work, and he’s bragging about marble bathrooms and his gilded ballroom.

Today is Election Day. But folks should remember that there was another election earlier this fall. Adelita Grijalva should be representing her constituents but Mike Johnson still refuses to seat her. I bet he hopes we’ve forgotten about that. I sure haven’t.

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise.

Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

At a time when our politics feels broken, we need leaders like @mikiesherrill.bsky.social for Governor.

Mikie will work to create jobs, lower costs, and do what’s right for the people of New Jersey.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
In just three months, the Trump people have made the unthinkable much more likely. They have created the conditions for terrorism, and thus for terror management. T. Snyder
total disregard of real threats to national security or indeed the total indifference to US interests is the hallmark of this White House. More unqualified people are at the top. The government shutdown makes us seem more vulnerable & makes us in fact more vulnerable.

Six months ago I wrote this post about “the next terrorist attack.” I republish it now (lightly updated) because my fear of this scenario has recently grown much greater.

Fitzgerald wrote of the careless rich who “smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money.”

A century later, it’s still true, only now the party’s at Mar-a-Lago, while millions are at risk of going hungry. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

House of Dynamite , new film on Netflix. Scary, tense and, unfortunately, realistic. Very highly recommended. No blood, no gore just the chaos and panic of a possible missile attack.
