Omg, these people are unbelievable. They are robbing us blind and running up our debt and telling us they're the good guys because they're make believe bosses over people actually doing their jobs.
But all those J6 traitors got pardoned and sent home to commit more crimes
There is no Antifa organization, that's just the right's boogeyman. This is Blanche and DOJ kissing tRUMP's ass.

Anytime any respectable journalist mentions our two chief negotiators with Iran, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, they should note both receive sizeable paychecks from Middle Eastern nations with deep equities in theses talks.
It is a fundamental corruption.
Trump's DOJ is arguing that states should not be required to provide in-home or community-based care to Americans with disabilities, jeopardizing care for over 8.4 million Americans.
21 June 1924 | Czech Jew, Hanuลก Strauss, was born in Prague.
On 6 September 1943 he was deported from #Theresienstadt ghetto to #Auschwitz. He did not survive.
A Justice Department lawyer just signed a memo saying disabled Americans have no right to live in their own homes. In the same document, she admits no court in the country agrees with her.
Read that again. A government official wrote down, in black and white, that her own argument is wrong by every legal standard of the last thirty years, and she made it anyway.
Here is what it means in plain terms.
Right now, 8.4 million people get help that lets them stay in their own homes. Aides who help them dress. Care that lets them work, see friends, raise their kids, sleep in their own beds at night.
This memo tells states they can cut all of it.
And if they cut it, where do those people go? Into nursing homes. Into institutions. Into facilities where someone else decides when you wake up, what you eat, who your roommate is, whether you go outside today.
A lawyer who has visited people locked in these places said their whole world shrinks to one hallway. That is the future this memo is opening the door to.
Keeping people in their own homes is cheaper. In one case, home care cost under $7,500 a year. The nursing home would have cost close to $50,000. The cruel option is also the expensive one. They want to spend more money to make people's lives worse.
So why?
Because last summer Trump signed an order to deal with homelessness by force, by sweeping people off the streets and committing them. He said it out loud during the campaign: the mentally ill belong back in institutions.
The only thing standing in the way was the law that says people deserve to live in their own communities.
This memo is how they get around it. And it landed the same week Republicans slashed Medicaid, giving every cash-strapped state the perfect excuse to start cutting.
A think tank drew up the plan. A lawyer wrote the memo. A president signed the order. Three signatures, and millions of people could lose the right to their own front door.
We are about to spend the summer celebrating 250 years of American freedom.
Some Americans are about to find out it doesn't include them.
Vivek Ramaswamy's proposal to eliminate Ohio's capital gains tax would deliver 81.6% of its benefit to residents earning over $200,000 a year while costing the state up to $679.8 million annually โ and Ramaswamy's own released tax returns show roughly $211.6 million in capital gains income across two years, the precise category his plan would exempt.

trump is lying hard now.
If @WhiteHouse had evidence of a long gash (that magically went from 250 feet to 350 feet depending on the day trump talks about it), then trump would be parading those pictures around.
Reporters on scene couldnโt find any gash. Because trump is lying.
"These vandals remain unidentified even under the watch of National Guardsmen deployed to the Reflecting Pool. And they were apparently reckless enough to do their dirty work under 24/7 surveillance - thereโs a permanent wide angle camera mounted atop the Washington Monument. You can drop in on the feed any time. Trump himself claims there are tapes. So this is a problem very easily solved. Just release the tapes, and we can clear this all up. (Not the water, of course; that much has proven impossible.)
Not gonna happen.
As erratic as Trumpโs behavior can be, at the end of the day, heโs the most predictable guy there is. Because heโs been in this exact same kind of situation before - backed into a corner, attacked on some spurious claim that can be easily cleared up by evidence he confidently proclaims exists but never actually produces."

Texas is planning to transfer 5,000 disabled students in Houston to "hub" campuses, which will potentially segregate them from the students in their neighborhood schools.
The state made this decision without any meaningful input from communities.
Families in Texas are demanding a pause before this major restructuring proceeds, and a federal civil rights investigation is underway.
When I was a kid, the highlight of my day in school was passing the special education classes and dapping them up and chatting with them in-between the bell. It was always a high point. No matter how bad things were, they never failed to brighten up my day and I hope they felt the same about me. The thought of our nation's schools losing these meaningful interactions makes me so upset.
I'm not an expert on disability education, but I know the implications of rounding up a certain group of vulnerable people and concentrating them into a centralized institution where their interactions and personal agency are limited.
23 June 1927 | A French Jewish girl, Jeanine Goldschmidt, was born in Lyon.
In November 1943 she was deported to #Auschwitz from Drancy. She did not survive.
22 June 1878 | Dutch Jewish woman, Klaartje van der Woude-de Vries, was born in Groningen.
In September 1943 she was deported from #Westerbork to #Auschwitz. She was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.
We have a new message for Democrats: attack attack attack.
Trump is corrupt, heโs butchered the economy, and his DOJ operates like mob lawyers. And every voter knows it.
So stop looking backward. Stop with the endless focus groups. This isn't complicated.
Heโs weak. Finish him.
