This slogan adopted by Kristi Noem, "One of Ours, All of Yours," is taken from the Nazis, who retaliated for the killing of an SS officer by murdering all the inhabitants of the Czech village of Lidice, apparently none of whom had anything to do with it, and razing the village to the ground.

So one of my besties lives in Minneapolis. She said ICE is literally patrolling the streets in her neighborhood and that more ICE agents are expected to come between tomorrow and Tuesday. She’s not scared of anything but this shit has her shook.

I honestly can’t tell whether this makes it less or more likely that it gets 60 votes in the Senate.
It’s intended to discourage Republicans from voting for it, but it might make them figure they can vote for it knowing he’ll veto it so they can blame him instead of themselves for it failing.

Trump says he may veto extension of Obamacare subsidies
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he might veto legislation to extend federal health insurance subsidies, injecting fresh uncertainty into a debate that has pitted congressional Republicans against Democrats and threatened to raise premiums for millions of Americans.

It’s ok, if he does I’m sure some will find a way to blame Democrats for that.

I remember playing Sim City years ago, and after I'd built up a thriving metropolis I would sometimes get really bored and jack the tax rate up as high as I could & cut off funding to police & fire departments just to see what would happen.

It's weird how people insisted for *years* that Dems would throw trans people under the bus for political expediency, and then this kind of thing keeps happening.
This follows the news that the minibus spending bill has no restrictions on gender-affirming care either. It looks like Democrats dug their heels in on this one and won.

The minibus spending bill is out! This is for the Commerce, Justice, Science; Energy and Water Development; and Interior and Environment Appropriations Act, 2026. Notably, there are no restrictions for gender-affirming care or trans care in here.
