I keep coming back to this passage by Kelly Hayes about violence, in particular state sanctioned violence. This is why the corporate media consistently parrots the Trump regimes 'the radical violent Left' propaganda.
their respective states into locally controlled escrow type accounts. If Trump cuts of federal funding to blue states, then we'll just keep the money local and cut out the middleman. No point in sending our hard earned money to the US Treasury anymore. I'd rather send it to my state capital. /2
Always. With Trump, everything is transactional. Even worse, he views the federal taxes that we all pay not as the money of the USA but his own personal money to do with as he pleases. Once again driving home the point that the blue states must develop a mechanism to divert federal taxes paid in /1
They've already done the 'fuck around', now they are about to do the 'find out' phase. It will be interesting to see how they internalize this. Will it somehow, magically, still be Biden's or Obama's fault? Or, will it be the fault of some vaporous anti-fascist boggymen? Clearly, it could never /1

My guess would be it's about optics. Sure, Grijalva could likely bypass Johnson and be sworn in as the duly elected rep of the AZ 7th right now despite him trying to block her. But if Speaker Johnson is willing to show everyone, not just people who pay attention to politics, what a craven /1
They're commonly called 'Stingray' (one of the original brand names) cell phone trackers or interceptors and law enforcement has been using them for many years now. The legality of their use is gray, at best. Not that legal really matters to ICE anyways.
