Garcia: First, let’s be very honest about what’s happening. This is a White House cover-up. They are now involved in an illegal cover-up of the Epstein files. They’re defying Congress. They’re defying their own base. They’re lying to the American people.

The Roberts Court is not color-blind. It permits discrimination on the basis of race, but forbids alleviating discrimination on the basis of race. And next year, the Court will face more cases that could push America back to Conservatives' Antebellum Constitution

Most large media properties have owners, and those owners have business that relies on the federal government. Trump has made clear that the price of cooperative regulatory policies from his government is giving him friendlier coverage.

Tax cuts have been a primary driver of national debt increases over the past two decades. If you exclude emergency spending like the COVID-19 pandemic and the Great Recession, they are responsible for over 90% of the increase in the debt ratio since 2001.

Yet, they blame and cut social services.

Things to watch out for:

In Nazi Germany, "protective custody" (Schutzhaft) a system established by Hitler and run by Himmler, was a notorious extra-judicial tool used by the Nazi police (like the Gestapo) to arrest political opponents, without trial, citing threats to the German "Volk,"

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Trump and Rick Scott say they want to give money directly to the people to find their own healthcare. Here's the cost of some popular surgeries:

Heart transplant: $1.3M
Liver transplant: $1.1M
Bone marrow transplant: $950,000
Kidney Transplant: $500,000

Does their plan cover these?

A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents:

It does not provide immunity for prior crimes.

It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet.

Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.
