The replies to this are a sad example is why the left has such a hard time being a united front. Advocate for vegan diets, but be real. Hunting is legal, normal, and when done sustainably good for the environment (preventing overpopulation). Worry about trophy hunting and poaching

This was my first thought too. When the military became reliant on the leader and not the state, the republic died.

Many historians of Rome identify Roman generals becoming the personal sources of payment for their armies as a key step in the downfall of the Republic, since it personalized military authority and freed armies to fight for their immediate leader, who paid them, instead of for the Republic

So if Russ Vought and Bob Kennedy were deliberately trying on behalf of an enemy to sicken and kill Americans by destroying the public health structure - what would they be doing differently?

2020: If you don't test, you don't have cases.

2025: If you don't track deaths, people don't die.

Trump doesn't have a heart. Sounds like BS to me.

Ugh, this creep Barron is the reason Trump busted Andrew Tate out of a Romanian jail and flew him to Mar-a-Lago.

Barron thinks he's cool.

Given Tate makes videos about punching women in the face until they submit, it's clear that the psycho apple didn't fall far from the leaning tree of shit.

Along with ACA subsidies, Dems need to also not vote with Republicans to re-open the government until ICE and its bloated budget are dismantled.

30% Christian Nationalists are now wielding military power over the 70% of Americans who like living in a diverse, multicultural democracy. That is a recipe for disaster.

It's really just insane that they are ramming cars and grabbing people off the street, including those who try to document what is happening.

Who do you call for help when the government is terrorizing you for no reason and with no checks in place? A serious question.

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

MSM wrote every day that border issues could never be solved if Kamala Harris wasn't personally standing on the US Border.

But Trump can call any city he wants a war zone and they print that, without him ever leaving his gold leaf shit den.

Yes, hard to boycott military bases, too. But no reason people can't complain more loudly about it and voice their displeasure.

Hospitals & senior homes - we'd complain loudly if these places were committing physical abuse, why do we let their TV's fill minds with lies that spread fear & hate?

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

This is just insane. There is no freedom of speech in America under Trump.

Oh, Republicans have the freedom to lie and of course they are doing so. No one else is allowed to speak though.
