‼️YES WE ARE‼️
Are we now in a police state? Not quite.

The right to protest and challenge Trump’s reign of violence remains. But Trump, Miller, and the rest are attempting to smother opposition to the point they’re justifying and whitewashing the brazen murders of American citizens.
Is this a police state?
We're close.

In a December 16 email to Mother Jones, at which time South Carolina already had more than 100 cases, a spokesperson from HHS downplayed the threat of measles.

Now, with 789 cases and counting, the state's current measles outbreak is the nation’s largest since measles was eliminated in 2000.
HHS wasn't worried about South Carolina's measles outbreak. It's now enormous.
“CDC is not currently concerned that this will develop into a large, long-running outbreak," the agency said in December.

Trump Is Urging Parents to Open "Trump Accounts" -- Here’s Why You Should Think Twice
Trump Is Urging Parents to Open "Trump Accounts" -- Here’s Why You Should Think Twice
As families start sorting receipts and logging into tax software, the Trump administration is using this filing season to spotlight a new savings program that Trump claims is aimed at children born later this decade. The accounts were authorized under Trump’s latest tax and spending law. Beginning this July, the federal government says it will place $1,000 into an investment account for every child born between 2025 and 2028. That deposit serves as a starting balance that families and employers can build on over time. Several large companies have already agreed to match the federal contribution for eligible workers’ children. Those firms include Charles Schwab, Robinhood, SoFi, Uber, Charter Communications, and BNY. Treasury officials say more corporate commitments are expected to be announced as the rollout continues. The push also includes high-profile backers from business, politics, and entertainment, including Nicki Minaj, Kevin O’Leary, Dell CEO Michael Dell, actress Cheryl Hines, and SoFi CEO Anthony Noto. Beyond newborns, some older children may benefit from separate private efforts. Michael and Susan Dell recently pledged $6.25 billion to seed accounts for millions of children aged 10 and under in qualifying communities. To receive government funds, families must make an election on IRS Form 4547. Parents can add up to $5,000 per year, while employers may contribute $2,500 annually. The money is locked into a broad stock market fund until the child turns 18. Administration projections suggest a single $1,000 deposit could grow to about $5,800 over 18 years, while consistent maximum contributions could exceed $300,000 by adulthood. Still, the program comes with real trade-offs families may want to weigh carefully. Because the money must be invested in a stock market tracking fund, account balances are exposed to market downturns with no guarantee of returns. The funds are also locked until the child turns 18, limiting flexibility if families face financial emergencies earlier. In addition, long-term projections are based on historical averages, not future certainty, and changes to tax law or program rules by future administrations could affect how the accounts function over time. For parents already navigating rising costs and economic uncertainty, the promise of growth comes with risks that are not always front and center in the pitch.

Republicans set to make ‘best and final’ Obamacare offer, Moreno says
Republicans set to make ‘best and final’ Obamacare offer, Moreno says
GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno said that Republicans will make their “best and final” offer after weeks of bipartisan talks to revive lapsed Obamacare subsidies. “It’s going to be in the hands of the Democrats very shortly. … Here’s the exact thing that we think is the maximum we can sell our conference,” Moreno told reporters. “This would be it,” the Ohioan added. “This is the best and final” offer. Moreno is one of the lead GOP negotiators involved in months of talks about a potential two-year revival of the enhanced Obamacare tax credits that lapsed on Jan. 1. The senators involved have discussed immediate new restrictions such as an income limit, as well as more sweeping changes kicking in the second year, including expanding the use of health savings accounts. Moreno separately told reporters the group is proposing to maintain the status quo on the Hyde amendment, which restricts the use of federal dollars on abortion services. Sen. Angus King (I-Maine), who has been involved with the talks, appeared optimistic about the chances of a deal, telling reporters Wednesday he expected to receive text later in the day. The health care discussions have been largely back-burnered as Congress has spent recent weeks dealing with an approaching government shutdown deadline. “I think we’re very close,” said King, who caucuses with Democrats. “We have a solid bipartisan group, and hopefully we can move the bill once we get through this budget situation.” But others involved in the negotiations have been surprised by Moreno’s comments about the impending release of a bill, noting that Democrats had not seen or signed off on anything yet, according to two people granted anonymity to speak candidly about the talks.

Repeated government lying, warned Hannah Arendt, makes it impossible for citizens to think and to judge
When officials lie time and again, people don’t know what to trust. And when this happens, citizens cannot deliberate, approve or dissent coherently, because a shared world no longer exists.
