the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history
Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

The problem, of course, is that the media agrees with him.

The messaging is both simple and true: Trump took 40 billion dollars of your grocery money and gave it to Argentina
Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION.

Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.

Shame.

We have a constitution that gives Congress control of spending, with zero ambiguity. Trump can’t sign a memorandum to change that. He’s not a king. #NoKings
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.

That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.

These paragraphs from page 204 are enough to keep one up at night. The risks that authors are talking about are whether Super AI kills us slowly, quickly, keeps us as pets or a corporation wields the power as they see fit.
As if we don’t have enough to worry about, this is what I’m currently reading…

Trump controls the White House, the Supreme Court and Congress. The only thing he doesn't control is public opinion. That's why the Trump regime is so worried about this coming Saturday's "No Kings" protests – so worried that it's blatantly lying about "No Kings" and showing itself to be pro-king.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.
A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"
Personally, I love me some Bob Haney comics. That Teen Titans series is just pure off-kilter fun.

"The Hawaii Constitution’s due process clause 'offers safety to HI's ppl that exceeds the federal constitution’s suddenly fluid protections'."
NEW: Hawaii's Supreme Court keeps releasing opinions that denounce the U.S. Supreme Court.

The latest? A new ruling that requires the police to record all interrogations from now on.

The author took it as an opportunity to say Hawaii's court will protect due process—while SCOTUS isn't:

Hawaii justices ruled that their state constitution requires police to record interrogations. And they vowed to protect due process for Hawaiians—unlike, they said, the Roberts Court.

“They can’t even seem to settle on which conspiracy theory they want to advance. Was it Antifa? Did it not happen at all? Did Donald Trump really win the election? They can’t figure out what it is they want to say, and it’s because it’s just a tissue of lies and conspiracy theories,”

Who ever would have thought that a narcissistic TV game show host turned politician, with multiple failed businesses and bankruptcies, no military or government experience (besides the last failed term) and a criminal record, would suck at the one real job he’s ever had?
