Once again, an independent watchdog found the Trump admin illegally withheld funds, including ~$80 million intended for the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality here in MD. Congress must re-appropriate these funds & make clear we will not tolerate these illegal cuts.

This is horrifying and barbaric. We should not be executing ANYONE in America. Not by firing squad. And certainly not publicly. We need to abolish the federal death penalty and impeach this incompetent, insecure, and violent Defense Secretary.

Not my president. Clearly, not a president for all Americans. “Let them (Iran) take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.” Then Trump called it a “small price to pay.” Millions of us dead. And his audience laughed. Reporting from my local news…

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

Dean Blundell: "That’s not a campaign promise....The President of the US told 11.8 million Americans that federal help depends on whether they vote for his guys....Ohio just got a taste of what it’s like to be treated as a hostage instead of a state." deanblundell.substack.com/p/trump-high...
Screenshot reading: "Let’s start with the part that should have led every newscast in America, and somehow got buried under the swearing.

Trump told the crowd that Ohio’s Republican officials call him all the time asking for money for the state. Then he made it clear that if Ohioans elect Democrats, that phone stops getting answered. On Amy Acton, the Democrat running for governor, he said it straight: “But I’m not going to help her.”"

Fascism, neo- or otherwise, isn't like an oppressive hereditary monarch. We're dealing with a mass movement. Anti-democracy, anti-rights, anti-liberal. In numerous countries, with considerable transnational solidarity. For example, this crowd wasn't reluctantly forced into it. They're ecstatic.

I was just told last night that my disabled son may lose 2/3s of his caregiver funds. This pays me to be his trained, live-in caregiver, and if anything it will CAUSE US to become homeless. All while Trump lives for free off tax payers. Anyone can become disabled at any time. Vote Blue. Please!

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Even if a federal prosecutor was watching the Atlanta Hawks and not the Iowa Hawkeyes, I still think crime should be treated as illegal, and coup attempts should be treated as bad.

This coin is illegal. The laws of our Congress specifically ban coinage depicting a living president (31 U.S. Code § 5112). What better metaphor could there be for the numb shattering of our constitutional order, than a $1 coin being sold to the American people for $10?
