In Trump's first term, he was directly responsible for 25% OF ALL US DEBT acquired – going back to the beginning of the country. In the last 9.5 months, he's added another $4 Trillion to the national debt.
Scream this at every Republican who claims they're the party of fiscal responsibility.

"When I was a kid” (in the ’50s and ’60s) “...we were the healthiest, most robust people in the world. And today we’re the sickest.”
-RFK Jr.
Lost in his nostalgia are how Americans aged faster, had high infant mortality rates, air was more polluted & children died from polio.

When Child Death Was Everywhere
RFK Jr.’s health policies stem from the idea that the past holds the secret to health and happiness.

This is bad. Republicans have fixed the contempt provision in the billionaire bailout bill so bond has to cover the costs. It can’t be $1 anymore. This will neutralize the court’s ability to hold Trump in contempt, and only rich people will be able to file injunctions against the government.
As I just flagged, this has been replaced with something which is arguably worse; requiring that basically every plaintiff seeking a preliminary injunction against the federal government pay millions or billions of dollars in "security" to pay for "costs" to the federal government if they later win.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

As one of the main precepts of Lysenkoism is the rejection of established science. It’s happening in the US as well.. RFKJr doubting the “germ theory of disease.” His HHS Dept is full of modern day Lysenkos, planning on culling the herd using quack science to engineer MAHA.

Wherever authoritarianism appears, some variation of Lysenkoism follows, as seen in this article.
It's also worth remembering that German was once the dominant language in physics.

The Soviet Era's Deadliest Scientist Is Regaining Popularity in Russia
Trofim Lysenko’s spurious research prolonged famines that killed millions. So why is a fringe movement praising his legacy?

The Felon hasn't brought his manufacturing to the US. Why would any company move here? It will take decades to build factories and train people to work on products. Pipe dreams. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #VoteBlue2025
