From 2024: #Louisiana lawmakers pass income and #corporate #TaxCuts, raising statewide #SalesTax to pay for it
By JACK BROOK
Updated 8:55 PM EST, November 22, 2024
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — "Louisiana’s #GOP-dominated legislature passed tax cuts on personal and corporate income on Friday in exchange for a statewide sales tax increase, giving Gov. Jeff Landry much of what he wanted after his original tax reform package faced mounting resistance from lawmakers and lobbyists."The final passage of the tax measures wrapped up a special legislative session launched Nov. 6 by the governor and his allies. They said their purpose was to make the state’s tax code more business friendly, create jobs and reverse trends of outward migration from the state. It was the third special legislative session called by Landry, a Republican, since he assumed office in January.
"Critics warned the tax reforms would primarily benefit corporate #shareholders and #wealthy taxpayers while the sales tax increase would exacerbate Louisiana’s regressive tax system where #poorer households pay a higher percentage of their income on taxes."

Rising Food Prices Are Likely to Continue, Thanks to #Trump’s Trade Wars
Wholesale prices on fresh and dry vegetables rose nearly 40 percent, and soon consumers will feel the pinch
By Peter Wade, August 17, 2025
"As wholesale and consumer prices have risen, so has the demand on food banks, which were already hit hard with shortages due to federal budget cuts earlier this year and actions at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. The “One Big Beautiful Bill” congressional Republicans passed last month also cut Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (#SNAP) benefits by $186 billion, meaning more people may be turning to increasingly strapped food banks to make up for the loss in food assistance."

'Severe pushback': #HouseRepublicans fear constituent revolt over divisive new proposal
by Carl Gibson, 8/13/2025
"House Republicans are now pondering whether to pursue another major legislative push involving #Medicaid later this year, just months after narrowly passing President Donald #Trump's massive tax and spending policy. But some are hesitant out of fear for how their constituents would react.
"Politico reported Wednesday that the Republican Study Committee (RSC) – which is made up of 189 Republican members of Congress — has invited a controversial figure to its Thursday meeting that suggests the GOP may make even steeper cuts to Medicaid this year or in early 2026. According to the outlet, #ParagonHealth Institute president #BrianBlase, who is credited as the architect of Republicans' Medicaid cuts in the #OneBigBeautifulBillAct, to this week's meeting.
"Blase's address to the RSC comes as Republicans plot whether to embark on another legislative crusade before the end of the year, even though the tax and spending bill almost failed to pass despite Republican majorities in both chambers of Congress. While no official details have emerged, Politico reported that Blase's invitation likely means that future Medicaid cuts could be on the table.
"Changes to Medicare may also be included in the conversation, as Blase will be accompanied by #DemetriousKouzoukas, who leads Paragon's Medicare Reform Initiative. According to its website, Paragon is focused on changes to #Medicare and #Medicaid policy, and its leadership and board have numerous ties to #FarRight policy groups like the #HeritageFoundation (which created #Project2025) and the #FederalistSociety.
"Not all Republicans are on board with another divisive vote on additional Medicaid cuts. Rep. #MikeFlood (R-Neb.) reportedly warned that there would be
'#SeverePushback' against any attempt to impose new cuts to the popular program that provides health insurance to #LowIncome and #disabled Americans."Politico's Benjamin Guggenheim and Meredith Lee Hill also reported that there is little appetite for another bitter legislative battle given the work House Republicans are facing when they return to Washington after Labor Day. They wrote: 'A major fight over government funding looms, as well as the expiration of the #ACATaxCredits — which could lead to drastic hikes in some Americans’ #HealthInsurance premiums.' "

Let me see... #UnaffordableHousing, cuts to #FoodAid and #Medicaid. But hey, #Unhoused folks are the ones responsible for being poor?!! What's next? #SoylentGreen dump trucks to scoop up folks?! #HungerGames? We all know where this way of thinking leads...
#Trump’s #Military #Crackdowns Are Only Going to Get Worse
#LA and #DC are only the beginning, as the president’s team has been drawing up plans to unleash federal forces in other Democratic strongholdsTricia McLaughlin, #DHS on Faux News: “You look at #LosAngeles, #Chicago, #Boston, and #NewYork — they’re also facing record numbers of homicides and violent crimes. It’s natural for us to look at Washington, D.C. — if we can really clean this up and we can get rid of this plague of crime and violent activity that’s happening in our nation’s capital — could that be a blueprint and a model for other communities around the country? It’s something I think President Trump wouldn’t shy away from. We’ll have to stay tuned.”
By Asawin Suebsaeng, Ryan Bort
August 13, 2025Excerpt: "Rolling Stone reported in October 2024 that Trump and his team have been plotting a second-term takeover of the D.C. police for a long time — regardless of the actual level of unrest or street crime. The plotting extends far beyond the nation’s capital.
In recent months, according to government officials and other sources with knowledge of the situation, administration staff and lawyers have crafted detailed plans and menus of options for Trump to feed his desire for replicating and proliferating his militarized crackdowns — on #immigrants and #citizens alike — to different Democratic strongholds."National Guard troops are already mobilizing in D.C., and Trump has privately said, according to two sources familiar with the matter, that if he sees something that he feels crosses his line (like if street protests in the city grow too big or if he deems them a threat suddenly), he will gladly order larger numbers of troops to nation’s capital, as he did in Los Angeles earlier this year.
"Trump has insisted to administration officials that it’s ridiculous that troops like National Guard members are not allowed to conduct various forms of domestic law enforcement, sources add. The president and his administration to some extent have had their hands tied on this due to the #PosseComitatus Act — which prohibits using the military for domestic law enforcement — though that isn’t stopping them from actively exploring ways around the law. 'There are ways things were done, and that’s not always going to be how they should be done now or tomorrow,' a senior Trump administration official tells Rolling Stone."

#LA and #DC are only the beginning, as the president’s team has been drawing up plans to unleash federal forces in other Democratic strongholdsTricia McLaughlin, #DHS on Faux News: “You look at #LosAngeles, #Chicago, #Boston, and #NewYork — they’re also facing record numbers of homicides and violent crimes. It’s natural for us to look at Washington, D.C. — if we can really clean this up and we can get rid of this plague of crime and violent activity that’s happening in our nation’s capital — could that be a blueprint and a model for other communities around the country?

August 13, 2025Excerpt: "Rolling Stone reported in October 2024 that Trump and his team have been plotting a second-term takeover of the D.C. police for a long time — regardless of the actual level of unrest or street crime. The plotting extends far beyond the nation’s capital.
In recent months, according to government officials and other sources with knowledge of the situation, administration staff and lawyers have crafted detailed plans and menus of options for Trump to feed his desire for replicating and proliferating his militarized crackdowns — on #immigrants and #citizens alike — to different Democratic strongholds."National Guard troops are already mobilizing in D.C., and Trump has privately said, according to two sources familiar with the matter, that if he sees something that he feels crosses his line (like if street protests in the city grow too big or if he deems them a threat suddenly), he will gladly order larger numbers of troops to nation’s capital, as he did in Los Angeles earlier this year.
"Trump has insisted to administration officials that it’s ridiculous that troops like National Guard members are not allowed to conduct various forms of domestic law enforcement, sources add. The president and his administration to some extent have had their hands tied on this due to the #PosseComitatus Act — which prohibits using the military for domestic law enforcement — though that isn’t stopping them from actively exploring ways around the law. 'There are ways things were done, and that’s not always going to be how they should be done now or tomorrow,' a senior Trump administration official tells Rolling Stone."

#Trump Labor Statistics Pick Called #SocialSecurity a 'Ponzi Scheme' That Should Be Shuttered
"Bureau of Labor Statistics data is what determines the annual cost-of-living adjustment for Social Security benefits," said Rep. John Larson. "It should alarm everyone when a yes-man determined to end Social Security is installed in this position."
Jake Johnson
Aug 13, 2025Excerpt: "U.S. President Donald Trump's pick to replace the top labor statistics official he fired earlier this month has called Social Security a 'Ponzi scheme' that needs to be 'sunset,' comments that critics said further disqualify the nominee for the key government role.
"During a December 2024 radio interview, #HeritageFoundation economist #EJAntoni said it is a 'mathematical fiction' that Social Security 'can go on forever' and called for 'some kind of transition program where unfortunately you'll need a generation of people who pay Social Security taxes, but never actually receive any of those benefits.'
" 'That's the price to pay for unwinding a Ponzi scheme that was foisted on the American people by the Democrats in the 1930s,' Antoni continued. 'You're not going to be able to sustain a Ponzi scheme like Social Security. Eventually, you need to sunset the program.'
" 'It should alarm everyone when a yes-man determined to end Social Security is installed in this position,' Larson said in a statement. 'I call on every Senate Republican to stand with Democrats and reject this extreme nominee—before our seniors are denied the benefits they earned through a lifetime of hard work.'
"Trump announced Antoni's nomination to serve as the next commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (#BLS) less than two weeks after the president fired the agency's former head, Erika McEntarfer, following the release of abysmal jobs figures. The firing sparked concerns that future BLS data will be manipulated to suit Trump's political interests.
Antoni was a contributor to the far-right Project 2025 agenda that the Trump administration appears to have drawn from repeatedly this year, and his position on Social Security echoes that of far-right billionaire Elon Musk, who has also falsely characterized the program as a Ponzi scheme.
During his time in the Trump administration, Musk spearheaded an assault on the Social Security Administration that continues in the present, causing widespread chaos at the agency and increasing wait times for beneficiaries.
" 'President Trump fired the commissioner of Labor Statistics to cover up a weak jobs report—and now he is replacing her with a #Project2025 lackey who wants to shut down Social Security,' said Larson. 'E.J. Antoni agrees with Elon Musk that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme and said that middle-class seniors would be better off if it was eliminated.' "

#FoodAid groups bought from #LocalFarmers with #USDA grants. Abrupt cuts leave both struggling.
By Meg Oliver, June 30, 2025
"Four days a week, Maile Auterson and one of her employees drive hundreds of miles across Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas to deliver fresh produce to #FoodDeserts.
"Auterson's nonprofit, Springfield #CommunityGardens, helps #UnderservedSchools, #FoodPantries and senior centers. One center in Ava, #Missouri, is the only place for many where they can get a hot meal.
"Springfield Community Gardens is one of many organizations that relied on grants from the United States Department of Agriculture to distribute produce to schools and low-income communities through two pandemic-era federal programs. They provided about $1 billion in funding to schools and food banks to buy food directly from local farms, ranchers and producers.
"But in March, the USDA abruptly canceled the programs, calling the decision a 'return to long-term, fiscally responsible initiatives.'
"Now, Auterson says, 'some of the most vulnerable people' are without adequate access to food, including children and #SeniorCitizens."

Damn! This DDG AI summary is spot-on (I usually don't use them).
"When Rome turned its armies against its own citizens
The Roman Republic and later the Empire, saw several instances where military force was used against its own citizens, usually due to internal political struggles, civil wars, or revolts
- The nature of Roman politics: Power struggles and rivalries among powerful individuals and factions were common throughout Roman history, especially during the late Republic and periods of imperial instability.
- The evolving role of the military: As the Republic transitioned into an Empire, the army's role shifted from primarily defending the state's external borders to also playing a decisive role in internal power struggles and securing the position of ambitious leaders.
- Moral and legal implications: Using armies against Roman citizens or within Roman territory was often considered a violation of tradition and law, but ambitious leaders were willing to defy these constraints in pursuit of power."
Hmmmm.... Sound familiar?
