🚨The perfect description of the extreme right project. “It’s what’s being built behind every gutted protection and every gerrymandered map, by judges confirmed by senators who represent a minority of Americans and now write the rules for the rest of us.” open.substack.com/pub/betterdo...
Trump is trying to cut WIC food and vegetable assistance again forcing early 5.4 million participants to face cuts of 62% to 75%. All he cares about is grifting and his ballroom. www.cbpp.org/blog/for-sec...

Stocks continue to plunge after Trump’s State of the Union. This loser is a train wreck for our economy 🤬
Stocks plunge after Trump tariffs. I don’t want to hear anyone being shocked that the economic genius who filed bankruptcy 6 times and couldn’t even make casinos profitable is tanking our economy at record speed. 🤬
🎯 Courage is in short supply. Maya Angelou put it well - without courage you cannot practice other virtues consistently.
What a farce! Thank you for this excellent statement calling it out. Yes it’s a #coup The Republican House Judiciary Subcommittee on Administrative Law is holding a hearing at 10 ET on “Reining in the Administrative State”
Unfortunately #January6 and protecting our democracy from insurrectionists wasn’t a deal breaker for too many Americans who believe these traitors are patriots or didn’t care enough to vote for the leader who would follow the constitution and the rule of law, Kamala Harris.
