A Ketamine-fueled psychopathic goober has complete control over all of our nation’s money.
All your tax dollars.
The social security money that you earned and paid in, so that you can have it back.
The money for clean air, food, & water.
The money for medical cures, highways, and safe air travel…

When so many insisted on the urgency of closing Guantanamo it was because it should never be used again for the disappearing of detainees. But here we are.
And after migrants, he will try to use it for holding U.S. citizen prisoners in federal custody.

It's only been 9 days since Joe Biden was president and we've now already got multiple people doing Nazi salutes or defending them. This isn't a good trajectory.

Border czar Tom Homan is on CNN complaining that Chicago is “very well educated” and people “know their rights” too well for ICE to be able to enforce mass deportations. Good work, neighbors.

One weird thing about M*sk and the GOP is that they’re obsessed with fertility and yet somehow also obsessed with destroying Medicaid, which covers about half of all US births

There is simply no plausible argument that the president has the constitutional authority to refuse to spend appropriated funds because he doesn’t like how the money is being spent.
The legality of policy impoundments is just not a close question.

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them

There’s an alternate universe where President Kamala Harris is now talking about bipartisan immigration legislation w/ a pathway to citizenship, expanding Medicaid & federal science funding, and helping bring down the cost of living. I want to go to there.
