Trump is now working to secure one party rule--just like Mussolini and Hitler did. Trump's new executive order designating Antifa a terrorist group is the first step in Trump labeling the infrastructure of the Democratic party as terrorists. deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-is-n...

Russ Vought is now officially using the government shutdown as a pretext for his continued attempts to permanently gut the civil service.

The executive branch cannot unilaterally reduce agency funding that Congress has allocated: This is a serious separation of powers issue.

"If they could snap their fingers and eliminate the ACA marketplaces altogether, they would. And they haven’t arrived at a consensus on what the insurance system would look like in their preferred world, beyond a bunch of vacuous bromides about 'choice' and 'patient-centered care.'"
