Attendees at last night’s White House dinner honoring MBS were all doing business with him and Saudi Arabia.
Under Trump, the only normative rule is to gain as much power and money as possible.
Power and wealth are honored, even if the honoree has greenlit a brutal murder.

Agents went to almost every single door in the building, zip-tying people regardless of citizenship and ignoring requests to see a warrant.
This attack on our communities is a fundamental threat to the freedom of each and every one of us.

The wealth of the richest 1% in America just hit a record $52 trillion. These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans. Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now about the shutdown is meant to distract you from this.

If, say, Louis Farrakhan was brutally murdered, I hope we would all condemn the murder.
But I am pretty sure Republicans wouldn’t be celebrating his life and legacy and insisting no one criticize anything he ever said or did.

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers.
Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us.
Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work.
It was a hoax.

That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.
