In hindsight, it was probably a bad idea for voters to put the full force of the US state apparatus and military in the hands of a guy who bragged that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose any support, and who was also granted immunity by the Supreme Court before taking office.

I LOVE that this woman in Georgia decided to terrorize her neighbors with the Fall Of Democracy and Trump's Ghouls (in poetic detail) instead of your usual demons and monsters.
She said, "It's scary because it's true."

Texas is expected to be where IRS’ new stance on religious leaders endorsing candidates will matter most, one expert said. More than 200 megachurches call Texas home.
“Texas will be the epicenter for testing all these ideas out,” the expert said.

The IRS Says Churches Can Now Endorse Candidates. That Could Give Texas Pastors More Power Than Ever.
While the IRS move applies across the country, Texas — with more than 200 megachurches — will be the epicenter for pastors and congregations to test out their new influence, one expert said.

Delighting in discomfort
During Ramadan, chaplain Katrina Pekich-Bundy drove Muslim students to a mosque on Fridays. Despite her efforts, she felt like an outsider — it was both uncomfortable and beautiful.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Just watched NBC News to see if they would cover this. NOPE. Not a word about the Treasury takeover, just the tariffs. We are the ones who have to spread the news about Musk's coup.

We have a system for this. Do you have any idea how wildly expensive this is going to be? Of course the spectacle, cruelty and grifting/kickbacks from/by defense contractors is the point. For reference, the bullshit military flight deportations were over $800k a piece.

Feeling "insulted and confused" is the point. I highly recommend folks revisit some of the secret speeches and recorded conversations with Russ Vought from a few months ago.

God i love @propublica.org so much
I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)
