My late business partner said aways ask
"Who is making money? Who is losing money?"

Ask GOP policians about the money their yes vote is bringing to their voters. They'll brag about it.

"Good news! I'M bringing ICE detention centers to Rural Nebraska!"
Jobs for construction, guards & merch!

Also, we gave money to rural hospitals! Nursing homes are safe until Jan 2027, don't worry.
But the ICE jobs are NOW!

Some Republicans avoid the wrath of Trump & the MAGA base by saying they aren't going to run again.
But they STILL are under pressure to say nice things about Trump.

As @emptywheel & @lolgop have documented, both Bacon & his wife got death threats from MAGA for not voting for Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House.

Here's Nebraska Rep Don Bacon today saying he'll stand up to Trump calling Canada the 51st state,
"But I also could support Trump on Iran when I think it's right."

Did you know that #ICE is going to parks & arresting Nannies?

@GottaLaff Do we know where Cricket's siblings are?

Trump posted this on TS from End-Times theocrat Mike Huckabee
(Thanks @Tengrain )

via Ashton Pittman:
A reminder: Israeli Ambassador Mike Huckabee believes that Israel is central to triggering the rise of the Antichrist, the rapture, the return of Christ, the battle of Armageddon, and, you know, the end of the world, generally.

@wdjorth Wow. This is horrible. I downloaded the video & added subtitles to share here at Mastodon.
#LA #DHS Tried to snatch 1st graders for LA elementary schools. They lied about parental consent and hid their IDs.

"You took an oath to the Constitution, not to the fascist in the White House." Wyatt Russell to the #NationalGuard at #ICE protest.

He's a child of Kurt Russell & Goldie Hawn, LA celebrities.
Maybe this'll get picked up by @TMZ @people @time to reach folks that only watch Fox. Sadly, it won't make cable news, no violence.
This is a counter message we can share. No violence. Words. Peaceful protest.

@dangillmor
I hear ya, Peaceful protests don't bring eyeballs.
The MSM will rerun the same car lit up by police flash bangs over an over.

So, for counter programming to share, here's Democracy Dino to the #NationalGuard
"This is how ridiculous you look! Put down your weapons. Don't follow these f*king fascists!"

I'm boosting it for contrast. As @jimstewartson said, this is a PSYACT, designed to freak us out, don't.
As @emptywheel says, Don't reshare without breaking up the message.

Kat Abughazaleh "I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay."
#ICE #LA

Karoline Leavitt says Trump has signed a Presidential Memorandum to federalize the National Guard and deploy 2,000 soliders in California
#ICE #LA #NationalGuard

This is from Los Angeles
at 1:45 PT today, Dom Ervolina @dominicervolina.com

A series of vehicles, some marked as law enforcement and some completely unmarked, are traveling in a convoy with no sirens or other identifiable way to know they are law enforcement

Protesters are using eggs and other items in an attempt to mark them as they pass

@GottaLaff

That's your end game here.
JD Vance is Peter Thiel's guy.

"They cut SNAP. So like 30% of children who rely on food stamps will lose their food stamps. "
They changed the rules about what counts as a child. It's no longer 18 & under, now it's 7 & under.

So if you're a parent with a child who would otherwise qualify for food stamps, but your child is 9, you're shit out of luck.

The GOP:
"They're literally taking food out of children's mouth to put money in Elon Musk's pocket"

Let's talk seriously about Trump's INCONTINENCE problem.
MAGA have anticipated this with their "Real men wear diapers" campaign.

But we need to anticipate the "concerned left" who will say, "Don't pick on people with disabilities!"
So we ask "WHY does he have this problem?"
Is it a symptoms of a health problem?
Name it.
Is it related to a drug he takes?
What is it prescribes for? Is it legal?
WHO prescribed it?
Finally explain why, like with Biden, the public can't know because of privacy.

Things not being eaten:
Dogs, cats & tariffs.

Marcy @emptywheel says the anti-Trump pundit class are missing what's happening because they're immersed in media that spends their time complaining about Chuck Schumer.
