Trump and Elon's whole march and baiting of government workers will leave illness and a mess that will take years or decades to mend. Nobody should have to go through this.

Lord of Flies, indeed.

Fools on a beach, serving food. Drumph with crap-covered bills, and Melon with a bottle of poison. The public and members of government look on, unsure of what to make of this spectacle.

From @democracydocket.com , outlining of mail-in voting, and how Republicans are trying to use every process to undermine it.

The Voting Rights act is also being undermined. SCOTUS, DOJ is being used to undermine the USA.

From the Guardian, you can guess already where this leads.

Actual effort against spying, drugs, terrorism, domestic abuse and community dangers, and actual national security risks, is being slashed by up to half or more.

Where does that leave the public safety?

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

According to an analysis from the health policy research group KFF, without the ACA subsidies, average out-of-pocket premium payments are expected to double, from $888 a year to $1,904.
Without Obamacare subsidies, this couple’s insurance premiums are set to go up almost $2,000
The subsidies are a key sticking point in the government shutdown: Democrats in Congress say that in order to secure their votes to reopen the government, they must be extended.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

Uniting the War on Terror and the War on Drugs will result in the ability to use lethal force on anyone. The guardrails are gone.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?
