Amongst the flood of insanity, this is easily missed.
The #AmericanClownEmperor now has his gold $1 coin. Founders are rolling in their graves over the imperial presidency.

Focusing on the vacation time totally misses the real story - the end of Congress as a co-equal branch
Shutdowns, McConnell (and others) long absences, near constant recesses ...it's all because authoritarians don't want a functioning Congress.
Under MAGA, Congress will convene only occasionally and only to pass budgets (and sometime not even then). No oversight, no debate of the issues.
More power to Dear Leader.

I'm beginning to think Justice Roberts will be forced out shortly after the midterms. He's just not consistently loyal enough to Trump.
His reward for destroying the VRA, Roe and campaign finance limits? Being shunned and outcast.
Ever thus to those in the face-eating leopard party.

Every day, Trump is behaving more like the pre-revolution French kings.
Demanding nice things for himself, building grand monuments, all while the people get poorer.

All this, two and a half months before a federal election.
The timeline alone should be reason to suspend any new restrictions on voting.
But... #ThisIsAmericaNow with a #CorruptSCOTUS and #AmericanClownEmperor

You'd think so, but no, the US Constitution and its amendments say nothing about the right of citizens to vote.
In fact, it only says that states set the rules for elections. Of course, various states have set very restrictive rules over the ages.
Recognising the problem, Congress passed the Voting Rights Act in 1964. But 60 years of attacks and a #CorruptSCOTUS have undone that.
So here we are, racing to destroy the foundation of democracy.

And 2024 wasn't a high watermark for free elections either.
Many (mostly red) states were gerrymandering, closing polling places, restricting drop boxes, purging registration rolls, encouraging absurd disputes, adding voter ID restrictions and more.
And, of course, the #CorruptSCOTUS had already gotten quite far in crushing the Voting Right Act.
#ThisIsAmericaNow -
If Dems retake the Senate, you can be sure the GOP will jam through two replacement SCOTUS justices on the way out.
The top priority of Senate Republicans for decades has been to build the #CorruptSCOTUS
-
Virtually no citizens want this
Who do the #CorruptSCOTUS and these Republican states work for?

To recap:
America kept a 150 year old constitutional right and Trump still owes a $5m jury penalty
...meanwhile Trump can take direct command of "independent agencies" (exc The Fed), states can discriminate against trans people and corporations/the wealth can openly buy elections now.
Yeah...democracy is in great shape.

"Profit Streak".
Yeah, I guess that's one word for #PriceGouging
"Corporate profits have reached a record share of the U.S. economy" ...doesn't happen by accident. #Greedflation

How did Mexican cartels get US military ammo? 🤔
Maybe, just hear me out, maybe the US is a greater danger to Mexico than the other way round.
