Think of it this way: 7 out of 10 eligible voters didn’t support Trump. They refused to vote or backed someone else.

What Trump is doing is very bad. But I want to push back against some of the numbers here.

ICE did not hire 10,000 agents. It WANTS to. That it keeps running ads suggests it is struggling. And when it does, it seems to cannibalize local police, who don't like that.

More significantly:

"(Officers) refuse to recognize local or court authority. A judge says you can’t arrest journalists. Watch us. A judge says we have to wear badges. No. State law says we can’t drive around in unmarked vans? Too bad. Elected officials who want to see what is going on should prepare to be arrested."

Purge, Merge, and Surge

Trump is creating a omniforce of armed loyalists to establish his police state

In an emergency, you need a Member of Congress on the ground to help coordinate response services and recovery efforts.

By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson is playing politics with people’s lives.

does anyone really want someone who is worried how they will pay their bills and feed their family, buy gas etc distracted from managing a complex airspace for their flight?

Ah yes, air traffic controllers must show up for work without pay, but Congress can take the day off. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he’ll be making “necessary cuts” to the department, because nothing fixes staffing shortages quite like firing more people.

Have you noticed how Mike Johnson (et al) never knows a fucking thing that the rest of the world is aware of? Is there, like, an award for The Biggest Asshole who Feigns the Most Ignorance? Does he enjoy coming across as an obtuse, ignorant, lying, cowardly scumbag, which he of course is?

Look, I'm not in the "news" business, I'm in the legislation business, which I'm also not doing.

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know
