Honestly, given [waves hands at everything], I really thought the S&P 500 would go along with this bullshit too, and while this is extremely bad - and still an attempt at a one _trillion_ dollar grift - the damage is much more limited as long as the S&P hold out.
The could, of course, change their minds again. But one hopes not.
And I remind everyone that the fact damage will be contained doesn't change that a full-on attempt to loot retirement accounts to the tune of _hundreds of billions of dollars_ took place here.
Wow, the feds have been raiding and harassing members of VC Defensa in Ventura County--breaking down doors, confiscating computers and phones, etc. ramming cars, etc...
LA Taco: Legal Coalition Prepares Restraining Orders Against Feds Who Targeted VC Defensa
Between 50 - 60 members, volunteers, and activists of the group have been targeted by federal agencies through a combination of tactics like raids, searches, and seizures, including agents allegedly following people home and flashing their lights.
For Trump-aligned conservatives, the Constitution is an unlimited grant of executive authority, where sovereignty lies with a president who is more Bonapartist tribune than Madisonian chief magistrate. Their American republic is not one led by and for self-governing individuals but one directed from above by an executive who claims to stand as the living embodiment of the national spirit. The entire country, in the words of the White House, must meet “the president’s priorities.”
"Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said⚡the Trump administration will drop plans for a $1.8 billion fund to pay victims of alleged government “weaponization” following a backlash from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers."
@rodhogrefe I do not think (from the reading I have done) that Immigration ought to be linked to our #HousingCrisis. The proposition is arguably improbable given workforce, demographic, birthrates and net immigration data (the latter of which is carefully dialed in).
Secondly, such correlation (true or not) only incites #AntImmigration propaganda favouring #Fascism and #Ultranationalism dividing what should be a united and multicultural nation of immigrants (on a land never ceded) already suffering from #Bigotry and #Racism.
Thirdly — not finally — the current #CostOfLiving and housing crisis is a #PoliticalAct as is #poverty. The govt(s) well know how to mitigate societal ills, they just *Choose* not to act on them. Know your responsibilities when you *vote*.

#Pentagon bans #journalists from #PressOffice, designating it a classified space [so it’s clearly no longer a #press office] The change creates a new barrier compared with previous admins, under which the office was an open room where reporters could stop by the desks of #military public affairs officials without escorts.
He fucks children. He's our all-powerful dictator-for-life eyeing the children of immigrants as, no doubt, pal Epstein did. Where are all of the kids the Republicans have separated from parents? Do the Democrats give a damn, or do they worry they won't get invites to the new Epstein's parties if the Republican DOJ feels compelled to prosecute their colleagues, whom they adore?
“How Trump is transforming Washington - by adding his face everywhere.” If anyone thought he wasn’t a wannabe dictator they know better now. #Trump#Fascism
"About all that this filing🚨contains is bad grammar & awkward phrasing, run-on sentences, random capitalizations, improper tone for court, extraneous ARGs, self-undermining logic, & overheated claims.
This #DOJ🚨hasn't only discarded the #RuleOfLaw;🚨it's discarded the basic professional acumen required to file something coherent in fed court." -The Steady State
ICE also received training from Israel, and Edmonton Police Chief Warren Driechel acted like he was the one being persecuted when he was called out for doing the same.
Colbert should turn this into a country-wide tour, raising money for the development of more public access channels and local PBSes.
actually, if there is one thing rich Hollywooders and musical acts should do all across the country ―very loudly and proudly― is raising money for local public access radio & tv; especially college radio stations.
celebrity is social capital needed to re-develop locally what the monopolists destroyed nationally.
