I was certainly no threat. I asked my congressperson what his red line was to finally, vocally oppose the lawless administration and he didn’t answer the question, so I called out for him to answer it and he had me removed. This is what the ISA has come to. The constitution is in shreds.

They are offsetting the cost of lower taxes for billionaires by slashing programs for the most needy. So much for Christian charity toward the poor.
Washington Post headline:

Trump allies eye overhauling Medicaid, food stamps in tax legislation

Republican leaders, looking for ways to offset the cost of lower taxes, are considering changes to safety net programs for the poor.

Good news: Ben Wikler is seriously considering a run for DNC chair, a source familiar with his thinking tells me. (confirming Natasha Korecki tweet) Ben would be a great DNC chair: Fully committed to deep organizing and avoids the pitfalls of factional squabbles and finger-pointing.

Promising poor folks that he’ll fix the economy while planning to drain every American community of resources to line the pockets of billionaires is the best con. I wish they saw through the propaganda. It’s on me to help fix that. In my community. We organize starting now.

Prediction: Gaetz will withdraw his name from consideration & blame it on a Democratic witch hunt (unless Trump makes good on his recess appt threat, but that would require the Senate to go out of session). When he does, remember that even the GOP couldn't stomach Gaetz as AG. x.com/JulieNBCNews...
