Reminder: ICE has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world.

It has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.

Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

The pardon power is a useful reminder that Trump and his minions are willing to use parts of the constitution against itself. That has been the practice of other authoritarian movements seeking to subvert free governments. www.thebulwark.com/p/pardon-the...
Pardon the Corruption
Trump’s blanket pardons for stop-the-steal illegality aren’t only about settling scores from past elections. They’re about laying the groundwork to subvert future ones.

I'm about to vote on the SAME Republican budget proposal for the 6th time.

Why?

Instead of working with Democrats to lower health care costs, Republicans are forcing us to vote over and over again on a budget that would let 15 million Americans lose their coverage.

Jersey, did you know Trump is targeting our state? Delaying funding for the Hudson Tunnel Project, which is a vital part of the project to double rail capacity between New Jersey and New York City.

Stopping these funds, is illegal and completely unacceptable.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination was horrific.

That doesn’t change the fact that the vast majority of gun (and political) violence has been perpetuated by right wingers.

You don’t get to change the narrative at will.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

My latest piece.
We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life
Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

The real issue isn’t left vs right.

It’s not white vs black.

It’s not citizen vs immigrant.

It’s not gay vs straight.

The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

Aside from looking very puffy, sniffing a ton, and rambling off track even more than normal, Trump doesn’t look bad.

He seems to be recovering well from whatever the White House was hiding.
