Current U.S. economic policy: "Listen, I'm going to start punching you in the face. Don't panic, and don't punch back. Just lay there and let me keep punching you so I can say I beat you, and everyone will think I'm the strong and wonderful--even though they are getting bloody and traumatized, too."

Can we talk about how, given the way that the new regime has gutted pretty much all of the regulatory agencies (including OSHA) and is hostile to the work of unions, these "American jobs" they are promising will mostly be lower paying, with far fewer benefits and little safety protection?

The one thing this regime has excelled at is finding the most awful, unqualified people to place in positions of authority. Their well apparently has no bottom.

Russia - along with North Korea, Belarus and Cuba (you read that right!) - is a rare exception to Trump’s tariffs. Remember: Trump removed U.S. Intel sharing with Ukraine to force it to accept a ceasefire, which it has. Trump has yet to impose costs on Moscow, which continues to defy any ceasefire.

Found these old grievances online. Sound familiar? He cuts off our trade with all parts of the world: He imposes taxes on us without our consent: He deprives us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury: He transports us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses…

Being snatched off the street for your opinions. I'll say it again. We are deciding, right now, whether the aspirations we hold for this country are finished. Whether we're going to let these hoodlums and grifters throw what's left of the American idea into the garbage for their own profit and gain.

When we do not understand an abuser's capacity for deceit, we make it easy for the offender to continue in deception and sadly, often call it “grace.” If it lacks truth, then it is not grace.

We do not protect the God of truth by covering up sin and/or a crime within our institutions. To do so is to ‘protect’ a cancer—and cancer kills. We honor God by caring for the wounded and by dragging sin to the light and calling it by its right name.

Also think about the difference in impact here. If you make under $13k per year, losing $1000 is DEVASTATING. That’s meals you can’t eat, desperately needed medical procedures you can’t get, school supplies your children can’t afford. If you make $3+ million per year, $180k is just a third yacht.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

Read this declaration. A professional soccer player has been imprisoned in El Salvador and forced into hard labor on the basis of soccer-related tattoos and a single, innocent hand gesture. This is why the administration is withholding due process. It knows its targets could prove their innocence.

I've tried to tell folks this was coming. This regime has absolutely no concern for the actual safety of the U.S. public. None. Why? Because they have the money to ensure that THEIR food, water, air, health, and money will be safeguarded--by any means necessary.

And this is the crux of the matter. Ultimately, neither Congress nor the Judiciary have the power to enforce their authority.
