Riffing off Brendan's method of juxtaposition in this awesome report, I'd like to offer another comparison:
Food assistance cuts versus new funding for DHS in the "Big Beautiful Bill"
Republicans cut food assistance by $187 billion while providing $191 billion in funding for DHS

#GVerse #Shit4Brains says he might sue the Epstein Estate for “political harm.”
Read that again.
The guy whose name keeps appearing 13,000 times in Epstein records now wants to sue the estate of a dead sex trafficker for damaging his reputation.
You can’t parody this level of delusion.

In healthy democracies, dissent is a civic act. In authoritarian systems, it’s rebranded as extremism. My new TIME essay examines how Trump officials have begun labeling ordinary Americans as “enemies”—and why this rhetorical shift is one of the clearest warning signs in comparative history.

If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."
