Trump never had a mandate to federalize, much less militarize, urban law enforcement. And twice in the last week, he essentially admitted it. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-admi...

Trump Admits Americans Didn’t Vote for His Military Crackdowns

Yet he and his party keep pretending they have a mandate.

I don’t often agree with Elon Musk, but I fear that he may be right when he says, “AI and robots will replace all jobs.”

So what happens to workers who have no jobs and no income?

AI & robotics must benefit all of humanity, not just billionaires.

ICE fired shots again, hitting a civilian and a U.S. marshal. DHS, once again, is claiming the man rammed ICE with his car. Let’s see how long before that version of events unravels. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Shooting by ICE officer in Los Angeles wounds motorist, U.S. marshal

Federal authorities said the driver had threatened officers with a vehicle while trying to flee an arrest.

I assume the EPA was not involved in this (if it still exists)?
Based on the amount of water they are pumping, it stands to reason they are trying to tamp down asbestos.
I hope the workers are all masking.

And to provide DT with a gateway to dismantle further necessary guardrails for democracy and protections for the people. Also, it is increasingly evident that this Republican Congress will follow him to the gates of hell and beyond to protect him.

Truth: Even if the government opens, DT has no intention of negotiating a bill that would benefit the American people. Republicans are using this government shutdown to conceal the EF.

Q: "Are you asking the DOJ to pay you compensation for the federal investigations that happened to you? How much are you asking for?"

Trump: "I guess they probably owe me a lot of money for that. Probably, ya, that's true. That's very interesting."

Aside from being complete and total corruption, isn't this Emolument Fraud?
At the risk of being redundant, why isn't this man in jail?

All of America, oh, hell, the entire world understands what this Republican Party is doing, and it begins and ends with the sociopath in the Oval Office.

1. Vote! If there’s an election, we must be there. Voting is our most incredible freedom.
2. Encourage legislative action by lobbying Congress.
3. Peacefully protest and support civil society. “No King's Day” this past weekend was a fantastic success.
4. Record and report to the press the injustice.

Further, it is crystal clear that this Republican Congress will follow him to the gates of hell and beyond to protect him, and it is we, the people, who must hold them accountable.

The truth is that DT, who thrives on the pain and suffering of others, is incapable of prioritizing the well-being of the American people; the Republican Party knows this. The government shutdown is his gateway to dismantle further necessary guardrails for democracy and protections for the people.

The Republicans are under the impression that they can create their own reality, work outside the boundaries of the law, and essentially manipulate the system to fit their own narrative.

Not in my lifetime have I ever seen anything as dysfunctional as this Republican Congress. They are chasing their tails to cover up a web of lies the size of China, and it’s clear to everyone but them that the people are their collateral damage.
