I was feeling reasonably confident about our national security until I found out our entire country could be toppled by a subway sandwich and a smiling, Muslim mayor. 😱

Atlanta Community Food Bank just pulled $5 million from its reserve fund to feed people being denied benefits by Trump. Every gift helps. $1 = 3 meals.

If the shutdown continues without meaningful and timely court intervention, Fulton County is facing a $28.4 million / month cut to SNAP benefits, impacting an estimated 73,000 households.

If you're wondering about the scale of SNAP cuts, the data does not look good. This does not capture trends and is only through June of 2025. Families in Dekalb are facing a $20.8 million / month cut in food assistance, impacting over 54,000 households.

Two years ago, Nick Fuentes was so toxic that, after I reported on a secret meet he had with a top Texas GOP donor, the party was engulfed in scandal and voted to explicitly ban Holocaust deniers/Neo Nazis.
Today, Heritage Foundation effectively said that "no enemies to our right" includes Fuentes.

Good column by Bill Torpy in the AJC today.
If there's some question about whether or not the administration's view of America looks like 1933 Germany, this answers it. The imagery in these pictures is something out of a white supremacist advertising campaign.

Labor Department’s anti-DEI campaign is Norman Rockwell meets Josef Stalin
The Labor Department's ad campaign, with numerous posters reminiscent of Russian propaganda, is part of a deliberate anti-DEI campaign being waged by the Trump administration.

Yeah, except the precedent has been set for preemptive presidential pardons.
If the current administration ever ends, many people in (and around) it will need to be prosecuted. From influence peddling to flat-out murder, their crimes seem to accumulate each and every day.

You can’t accuse others of hating a country when you won’t do your job under that country’s laws.
Mike Johnson: "Saturday, they're gonna be parading around the National Mall. They call it the No Kings Rally- we call it the Hate America Rally. They're gonna have all the Marxists, antifa people, BLM remnants, the pro-Hamas wing of the Democrat Party, they're gonna be out here screaming & wailing."

If you haven’t watched the videos of ICE harassing and abusing people, you should. Even a few. Because this thuggery is happening all over. Probably in your city.
It’s not a problem “over there,” it’s here.
And if we don’t expose and bring to light, who will?

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?
