These two things are of a piece, even if the motivations and details differ.

Trump’s justification for his authoritarian crackdown is an America that doesn’t exist.

Lizzie O’Leary quote post of a CNN post that pairs the headline “What is the insurrection act?” with an image of an on fire Winchell’s Donuts from the 92 LA riots.

This picture is from 1992 in LA and using it in this post and story shows terrible news judgment.

Did Dems walk into a shutdown "trap"? Or is Trump using the shutdown to continue doing all the authoritarian s**t he was going to do anyway?

Gift link 👇. I said it before and I’ll say it again. They can make policy changes that limit or change who can get benefits and they can say it’s not a cut because it technically isn’t. But it’s semantics. It’s still a cut to benefits. Don’t let them play semantics. Call it what it is. It’s a cut. 🤬

Donald Trump is plotting to cut Social Security benefits for older Americans — after he promised during the campaign that he wouldn’t touch Social Security.

We must call it out and stop these cuts.

Federally funded health centers are stuck between a 🪨 and a hard spot. 💰 comes mostly from 2 routes: fed grants and Medicaid reimbursement. Govt shutdown = no grant 💰 but the Big Barfy Bill cuts Medicaid. Ds want Medicaid funded, Rs want more 💰for billionaires.

The House has chosen not to work and is withholding the swearing-in of newly elected Democrat Adelita Grijalva. She still hasn’t been seated, and it definitely feels intentional since her signature would provide the last vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

Breaking news: ICE stops family at gunpoint—smash car window on top of newborn baby.

"I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother.

“I covered my baby with my body—I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

So mad to see this quote from one of my senators. Time to retire:

“What we found is that contrary to world opinion, Israel has been doing everything it possibly can to ensure that there’s minimal damage to civilians who are not part of Hamas’s army,” Representative Steny H. Hoyer @hoyer.house.gov
