The response from Senate Republicans thus far to Donald Trump’s Shock and Awful nominations has been pathetic. But two of them are sort of stepping up. A start.

President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it.
Please tell me you see which party is actually fighting for the average worker.

As a former #SpecialEd attorney, I just want to be sure people get it.
Federal funds for students with #Disabilities will also disappear when the Department of Education does. And with #Medicaid at risk, so do related services (therapies etc). This is Trump’s plan.

So, drawing Nazi parallels is frowned upon, but I can’t help seeing one here. It all starts with small steps. I fear for people with emotional struggles and those with neurodivergence.

Trump would like to bring back mental institutions, but experts are skeptical
Permanent tent cities are another idea Trump has for dealing with people who are unhoused. Sequestering people with mental illness or substance abuse in one place has been tried, an expert says, and "it turns into hell on earth."
