Foxx: This is the American Dream story they all claim to support. I’m a first-generation American, raised by a single mom in Section 8 housing. SNAP benefits—food stamps—put food on our table. Those social safety nets—they are not handouts, they are hand-ups.

Worse than Watergate? Trump hasn't just achieved that early in his 2nd term; he's also surpassed virtually every major presidential scandal of the past on its own terms. Iran/Contra, Teapot Dome...you name it, he's topped it. My GP/BP post today. goodpoliticsbadpolitics.substack.com/p/worse-than...

As much as there is to relish about the world’s richest man getting unceremoniously offboarded by the very government he spent a quarter of a billion dollars to install, the joy quickly fades upon remembering: Elon Musk made your life worse. And the true extent of his harm will continue to unfold.

If you’re a foreign government that wants influence, just slip some money in Trump's pocket. If you’re a tax cheat that wants a pardon, just buy some of his cryptocurrency. If you're a veteran that needs health care, or a kid that can't afford school lunch, you get nothing.

Americans really don’t understand that you only have a couple of months to solidify pushback to a fascist a hostile takeover and we have failed at fostering the mass resistance needed to stop the consolidation and solidification of fascist power. Stopping this now is going to be shades of violence.
