Cory Mills (R-FL) arrived in Congress and handed out commemorative 40 mm grenades stamped with the Republican Party logo to fellow House members as a welcoming gift. This guy is a fucking White Nationalist, gun nut, mercenary.

#Republican Rep #EliseStefanik's nomination for US ambassador to the #UnitedNations [#UN “phew!”] is in jeopardy as #GOP pressure mounts for her to back away from the position.
…There are ongoing discussions about whether she should withdraw from consideration. Stefanik has not resigned from her seat in #Congress, & w/the narrow majority in the #House, #Republicans need all the votes they can muster.

As it becomes increasingly obvious #Trumps idiocy around tariffs will backfire, one has to wonder how he plans to fund the policies he touted during his election campaign. More debt? Devaluations? Maybe just increase taxes?
His legacy will be very simple: the impoverishment of the US population.

"The goal of this sort of kidnapping and hellish incarceration isn’t to clear the streets of criminals or promote public safety or even prevent immigration: it’s to create #terror. And it’s working.
This is a playbook as ancient as the world’s first kings...
every #tyrant throughout #history has used the threat of arrest and imprisonment as a way to force public compliance with their regime."

"Neri Alvarado was working as a baker in Dallas, caring for his 15-year-old brother who has #autism. He even got a #tattoo celebrating “autism awareness month” in support of his younger sibling.
So #Trump — with no legal process whatsoever, in complete defiance of our #Constitution and the Bill of Rights — kidnapped him and deported him to one of the world’s most notorious prisons in #ElSalvador, citing the tattoo as justification."

"This is how it begins.
Tuesday night, Tufts University PhD student #RumeysaOzturk was going out to a restaurant to meet friends when masked federal #ICE agents dressed in street clothes seized her off a public sidewalk and disappeared her. Her apparent crime was co-authoring an op-ed critical of #Trump & #Netanyahu."

“It’s a #Vichy moment in American #history,” Michael Roth, the president of Wesleyan University, told me... “Like I have a restaurant & if I #collaborate with the Nazis & don’t let any Jews eat here, then the guys who wash dishes will still have jobs. As you know, that slope is very slippery. #Appeasement doesn’t end well.”

Make no mistake, the #protests and empty chair town halls for AWOL #GOP Congress critters are having an impact. These are, of course, completely shameless people, so if they are even making deflections and empty gestures about talking to constituents, they realize they have a serious problem. That means the message of arrogant, unaccountable #MAGA electeds is leaking into the MAGA voters now.
#Resistance works!
Texas GOP Lawmakers Propose Amending Abortion Ban Linked to Deaths and a Rise in Sepsis Cases
—
The bill comes after ProPublica’s reporting on the deaths of three Texas women. It specifies that doctors don’t need to wait until an emergency is “imminent” to terminate pregnancies but leaves in steep penalties for those who violate the law.

Ron DeSsntis wants to lower the age kids can work to make up for the migrant deportations. What’s next? Raise retirement age to 75?
The #FascistGOP created the problem, let their kids work the harvests and rebuild homes after hurricanes.
When the #GOP come for #Medicare, #MAGA is going to be pretty pissed when Mom & Dad move in with their kids.
In only 66 days Trump has broken so many things. I think people should have taken Project 2025 seriously.

Remember that one of the #GOP 's main arguments about Hillary Clinton's actions was that it was a PRIVATE server, not subject to government controls.
Even then, IIRC, she never *initiated* communications that contained classified or even SBU data.
These fools like #Hegseth CREATED & sent what every expert agrees was highly classified (TS most likely) information using a chat app on personal phones! Many laws were broken here.

AWOL #GOP congress critter Kevin Kiley (MAGA-CA) is whining and crying on his blog about Indivisible holding empty chair town halls (because he refuses to hold real ones). And oh, boo hoo, he can't handle all the calls he is getting from the constituents he wants to screw out of #SocialSecurity. They were just supposed to go meekly die I guess.
