I think the conspiracy is comforting to people -- "a few bad guys did this." The reality -- "electeds, planners, and most of the public believed that the car was the future and rail transit was outdated" is actually more unsettling since it raises the question of what we're getting wrong now.

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything. It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in. Long thread.

This situation is a good example of why shutting down the government is logical: Right now, the Trump administration is acting as if it has 100% control of all federal spending, Congress & previous decisions be damned. If that executive overreach isn't addressed, why pass a spending bill?

For years, GOP has been campaigning against cities, rooting against their success, accusing their residents of not being “real Americans,” lying about their crime rates, denigrating their diversity. The campaign’s is logical conclusion: the GOP uses the federal government to attack those cities.
