"One of the big reasons why a lot of us grew up as conservatives is we were afraid that if you give too much power to the government, someone bad could come in and use it for their own personal gratification and empowerment," @gtconway.bsky.social says. "And here we are. This is exactly it."

Trump: "The only reason our unemployment tucked up and went up to 4.5 percent [it's actually 4.6 percent] is because we are reducing the government workforce by numbers that have never been seen before."

Donald Trump's administration is treating the people of this country as an adversary.
It's pushing the boundaries of its authority, terrorizing our communities, and disregarding all accountability.
We will not meet intimidation with fear — we will meet it with truth.

Abrego Garcia is not a "proven human trafficker." He has merely been *accused by the government* of being one. That's not the same thing. And if Leavitt is so certain of these charges, why is the administration attempting to deport him to Africa to avoid trying him in a US court?
Q: Does the White House have a response to a judge ordering the immediate release of Kilmar Ábrego García from ICE detention? Will you appeal?
LEAVITT: Absolutely. The White House opposes this activism from a judge. He is a proven human trafficker

there is no available evidence that donald trump understands what a tariff is, what a trade deficit is, and what the national debt is.
The way Trump talks about the problems he caused by unilaterally imposing tariffs is fairly insane, even by his standards.

Something every 2026/28 Dem should commit to is investigations of any company that did deals with Trump. A kind of forward guidance to get companies to think twice in advance of what’s coming.
Fox News will applaud this but can you imagine their coverage if President Biden hatched a secret plan to take over Fox News and revamp its programming to be nicer to him
