Imagine looking at the problems facing this country and deciding the urgent legislative priority is: “How do we get Trump’s face on a $250 bill?” The lawmakers have stopped serving the country and started serving the ruler.

Authoritarian politics: declare a target corrupt, assign a loyalist to investigate, then insist it is just accountability.

The administration stripped funding from PBS and NPR in the name of ending taxpayer subsidies for “biased” media. Now tax dollars may flow to OAN, tied to election conspiracy claims. Apparently “biased media” is fine when it’s their biased media.

When detention facilities operate behind walls, the public has to rely on families, local officials, journalists, and protesters to force visibility. Delaney Hall is not just an immigration story. It is a rule-of-law story. Oversight is not optional.

MAGA survives on the politics of inversion: oppressors become victims, diversity becomes hatred, civil rights become discrimination, & cruelty becomes courage. Authoritarian movements don’t just lie about reality; they reverse it, turning accountability into persecution, and inclusion into threat.

Over the weekend, the United States government hosted what could best be described as a prayer meeting on the Mall. This was a weekend that represented a negative change in the drive towards autocracy of the Trump administration.

The key issue here is not just who might get paid but whether the executive branch can use a settlement with itself to create a nearly $1.8B taxpayer-funded payout program without Congress. zurl.co/zAcYl

Someone may have made tens of millions betting oil would fall right before Trump announced progress with Iran. If that trade was based on advance knowledge, this is not just a market story.

Trump commuted Lawrence Duran’s 50-year sentence in a $205 million Medicare fraud case, reducing it to time served with no further fines, restitution, probation, or conditions. If health care fraud matters, start with the fraudsters Trump chose to spare.

Trump runs foreign policy through family and friends instead of actual diplomats. America’s interests are no longer the priority.

The answer to import costs is already here in NZ. Local manufacturers are creating high performance building products right now. Did you know high performance and locally made can be the same choice? #architecture #smarthomes

The Senate passed a bill to fund all of DHS except ICE and Border Patrol. And we did it with the unanimous consent of ALL 100 SENATORS. Speaker Johnson refused to vote on this bill and chose to continue holding TSA hostage and to continue Trump's chaos.

"This month saw changes in the dynamics in our favor, in Ukraine’s favor. We are holding more positions and inflicting more damage. "I am grateful to all our warriors for their precision." - Volodymyr Zelenskyy 💪😊

You’re not confused. You’re hooked. When attention shows up unpredictably, your brain stays engaged trying to figure out when it’s coming back.  It can feel intense, but that doesn’t mean it’s meaningful. Try slowing your response and paying attention to what’s consistent. #relationshipadvice

The founders intended our U.S. Senators to serve as a moderating, independent check on presidential power, especially in foreign relations. Unfortunately, that “independence” is missing from Idaho Senator Jim Risch.
