Science gasps for breath. They are removing all the ocean monitors to understand changes in currents and climate, and the excuse is a master class in obfuscation & double speak . (1/2) https://t.co/vs782YbcI3
When the Nazis went loud with Kristallnacht, ordinary Germans balked.
So they decided to unleash a slew of smaller, tolerable outrages — all in the name of restoring their nation's health and vitality after WW1 — and killed the public conscience like the proverbial frog in a stewpot.
Bit by bit, they increased the temperature with propaganda, bureaucratic euphemism, eroding public institutions . . . conditioning the German people to shrug, sigh, and look away. Ultimately, when the concentration camps came along, that's exactly what they did.
You know that feeling more than you'd like to admit. We all do.
Think of the last time something outrageous happened and instead of speaking up, you just shrugged and ordered a latte. Chances are it wasn't too long ago.
We all spoke up back in January of 2020 after MAGA stormed the Capitol.
But ever since Trump returned to power, he's been boiling the frog too. He dishes out a fresh outrage almost every day. "I could be the next Pope"… "I could be the next PM of Israel" . . . Greenland, Canada, Venezuela . . . the Big Lie . . . climate change is a scam . . . universities intimidated into submission . . . journalists churning out propaganda . . . the EPA annihilated . . . ICE kills American citizens and kidnaps children . . . Jimmy Kimmel gets canceled . . . the rage keeps coming and the lattes keep flowing.
We know where this goes.
He is certainly trying to make it as hard as possible to justify paying federal taxes, as those taxes will soon be simply contributions to his political slush fund in all but name https://t.co/XjR6vxpz2k
Newsweek: A federal judge has ordered the National Park Service to not prevent a protest group from flying an “86-47” flag near the National Mall in Washington, D.C., finding that it could not be seen as a call for violence against Trump’s life.

Russ Vought is trying to steal spending power again.
The Trump Admin is making up a new "rule" so they can revoke federal grants whenever they want for whatever reason.

Acting AG Todd Blanche sat with Sean Hannity for an hour and a half interview and they spent so much of it talking about uncharged people who are targets of President Trump that the video ends with this notable disclaimer -->

By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.
🚨 Trump pardoned January 6th insurrectionist Taylor Taranto.
He has been arrested again for terrorism charges and carrying illegal firearms near Obama's home.
Rep. Madeleine Dean: "What is true is that the president has lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove that. There's a lot in here. It's all covered up."
Oh, MAGAs are surprised and angry about self-mythologizing, shirt-rending, taxpayer-compensated grifter and ersatz America Firster Michael Flynn turning out to be a highly paid foreign agent for a Kremlin ally?
