"The Biggest Criminal in D.C. Right Now Is Trump"
https://newrepublic.com/article/198996/biggest-criminal-dc-donald-trump
"The president’s takeover of the capital’s police force is a distraction from his own rampant wrongdoing."
And here we go
Don't anyone dare say #Trump isn't consistent
"Trump says he will impose 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods ... "
But wait, there's more:
"...in 30 days"
The move has nothing to do with the Canadian wildfires Trump complained about on Sunday, an official said."
So as always Trump gets to run his big yap and have his escape hatch all set up from the start
Only here it's 30 days, not 12
Maybe the #Canadian #WildfireSmoke #Tariffs will be along later...

"There are certainly no lack of examples of their glib dishonesty and putrid amorality. But one that perfectly sums up the Jonestown GOP Caucus is their nonchalance at allowing enhanced Obamacare subsidies, the only way millions of Americans can afford healthcare, to just disappear.

The White House has ramped up its vow for vengeance in the wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination, with deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller promising to bring the resources of the federal government to bear against what he described as “terrorist networks.”
“It is a vast domestic terror movement,” said Miller.

For almost a decade, North Carolina’s majority-Republican legislature tried six times to strip Democratic governors of control over the board overseeing the swing state’s elections. This year, it finally succeeded.

Republicans in the US House of Representatives have only a 5 seat majority. It is a key pressure point against Trump's authoritarian agenda.
5 calls is the easiest and most effective way for US constituents to make a political impact.
Make it clear to them that We, The People will hold Republicans responsible for trying to take away our hard-won freedoms.

"What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places — and there are so many — where people have behaved magnificently, it energizes us to act, and raises at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory."

NEWS:
"A federal judge closes Trump's lawsuit against the IRS, noting there's "no settlement of record" because DOJ never mentioned one on the docket. We'll see if that upends the $1.776B fund to Trump's allies.
@MuellerSheWrote found this during our livestream today.

Replying to: @KlasfeldReports
"To be clear, this judge's order states "there is no settlement of record" in the case that she has now closed.
That means that pieces of paper that the DOJ is calling a "settlement agreement" in Trump v. IRS is nothing of the sort."
