McGovern: "When billionaire CEOs need something, Republicans move at lightning speed. But when it comes to working people needing affordable health care, suddenly the story changes. There's hand wringing and the money is gone. My friends, if you are ok with that, we do not share the same values."

I can't tell if they're racing to get ahead of the Epstein Files, or racing to get ahead of a tariff-driven economic crash, or racing to get ahead of Trump's health issues, or all of the above.
Is Trump's Declining Health Driving the MAGA Rush to Autocracy?

Donald Trump is an aging, criminal vulgarian with cankles and a troublesome wound he's trying to hide on his right forehand. The MAGA ramp-up on fascism could be a sign their King is ailing.

Putting the military on the street will lower crime. It does in North Korea, did in Nazi Germany, and in the book 1984.

The question isn’t will it lower crime. The question is do we want to be a nation governed like this. Until 6 minutes ago the GOP believed in LOCAL control.

Ask yourself: If Donald Trump was a thinly-veiled Russian asset, can you name one thing he’d be doing differently?
Donald Trump arrived in Canada and demanded that Russia be admitted into the G7. He falsely claimed Canada had Russia kicked out.
He refused to work out a deal with allies on the Middle East crisis and he left town before President Zelensky showed up.
Surprised?
