It never had anything to do with cutting the deficit. It's not that he was trying to do that and fell short. Nothing he did had any rational relationship to it. There were no "deficit cutting goals." To frame it that way is stenography not just for a lie but an obviously incoherent, innumerate lie.

Honest Americans will recognize the reasonableness of this long overdue effort to call the government to account. I can’t speak to the legal struggle but the historical research will be long and difficult work. The commitment, however, is worthwhile. ictnews.org/news/two-tri...

I’ve been begging Dem reps to adopt criminal framing for Trump and GOP actions. Because it’s clear, memorable, and has the benefit of being true. The president is a convicted criminal. He is out on bail. His EO’s are illegal. DOGE’s actions are illegal. ICE is kidnapping people.

Of all the factors that have led us to the brink of fascism, newslessness is the most obvious. The less news you got, the more you voted for Trump. And creating an America where getting news is mostly a burden or, at worst, a path to indoctrination has been the GOP's most concrete victory.

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

One thing smart dictators learn is to limit the number of political martyrs they create and pick them carefully, bc every person they unjustly target can become a dangerous opposition leader. Trump is not a smart dictator.
