This is huge, and my only concern is why isn't it on every fucking front page and newscast in the country?

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 good news is that if you own a rare copy of “Heavy Rotation” by Rex Michaels, you now have a collector’s item!

Good luck, but...can't make it (and not just because you're 2000+ miles away). Got an authors festival of my own!

FASCISM!

The local police arrested him for daring to criticize dear leader.

And this isn't a threat, not even close. He posted a quote from Trump. That's it.

Post a meme - arrested for inciting violence

Storm the Capitol on Jan. 6 - actual violence, pardons for all

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.
Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

Meiselas: I think this is a serious oversight issue. $17 trillion is apparently missing right now, and we’re in a government shutdown. Trump keeps saying he’s got $17 trillion. Where did it go?

Garcia: If there is $17 trillion somewhere, the government doesn’t know about it.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

Trump: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'
Why is this quote not all over the national media? Because it raises questions about his mental competence.

Just a reminder that the Commander-in-Chief of the Louisiana National Guard, who can call them out all by himself if they were actually needed, is … Governor Landry.
