When he was prime minister, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson issued his version of the ministerial code.

It included the very rules he has now been found to have repeatedly breached……no shock there then!

The US is a straight-up police state, more egregious than the vast majority of ‘totalitarian regimes’ we (in the Global North) grew up being warned about.

This shutdown is proof that Trump and his MAGA Republicans don’t care about the American people.

They don’t care about federal workers who aren’t receiving paychecks, they don’t care about your flights, and they don’t care about Americans being able to afford health care.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 19h

The longer other services remain shut off, the more the shutdown’s effects will spread.

Trump is weaponizing the Justice Department by removing a well-respected, Republican US Attorney and appointing a loyalist who will target his political opponents over the objection of career prosecutors.

It’s a threat to the justice system and the rule of law.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.
