Several Democratic governors have moved swiftly to protect their states’ progressive policies from Trump. If you live in one of the 17 states with a Democratic trifecta, check out our new blueprint for blue states to prepare for Trump 2.0.

Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO

That may be true if you consider that Trump is not nearly bright enough to construct this on his own. He is a puppet being operated by Thiel and the Heritage foundation so he may not know about it. He’s just doing and saying what he’s told.

I don’t think the plan involves anything relating to an even distribution. That would imply that the plan had something to do with fairness. None of this has anything to do with fairness.

My guess is that intelligence professionals are suppressing Russian intel to the White House in order to protect methods and sources since they know that anything the WH sees the Kremlin will see.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid:

“Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s.

Over half of those deported were US citizens.”

MAGA’s embrace of RFK Jr’s “Make America Healthy Again” is so funny because these same people CRUCIFIED Michelle Obama for daring to suggest that American kids should have access to healthy lunches in school.

Since Trump is unfit his nominees must ipso facto be unfit. It’s why Trump will not allow hearings.

Billionaire grifters are about to dismantle your government. So instead of your tax dollars going to your Medicare or your Medicaid or your affordable care act or to veterans benefits or your social security - it will go to THEM in the form of tax cuts for the wealthy.

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

No, but they are determined to make sure no one else reads, either. Knowledge, after all, is very dangerous to their cause.

The general silence of most elected Democrats right now is unacceptable. We need to hear them expressing their opposition to the danger loud and clear. It strengthens us. Elizabeth Warren is a notable exception.

We often talk about how Trump ran on an explicit authoritarian platform. But this is also true of corruption: During the campaign, Trump openly promised to govern in the interests of wealthy elites, and won anyway. He'll feel emboldened to be more corrupt.
