A few reflections on the US in the darkness of Trump:
1. The US is unable to defend any values.
2. The US lacks all checks & balances.
3. The US establishment is cowardly & ineffective.
Shut up about the free & brave!
They are elsewhere, in Ukraine for example.

Oh, we're not paying for large government. We're just paying for a healthy dose of good ol' armed terror.
I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

I’ll call it good news. Every bit of visibility on fighting DOGE raises awareness. Even if it gets overturned later:
Unions and retirees sued the Treasury for giving DOGE access to the federal government’s massive payment and collections system and the personal data housed in it

Interesting: Could Trump's deportation plan be backfiring? Could it, oh, say, INCENTIVIZE the immigrants who are actually criminals to commit crimes so they WON'T be deported? (ICE can't deport immigrants in US jails in sanctuary cities.)
