"A president without a moral compass and advisers whose true north is the extreme right, helming a government with unparalleled legal, technological and financial resources, can implement...political repression that Joe McCarthy...could not have dreamt of," writes @judith-levine.bsky.social.

McCarthyism has returned to the United States – and this time it’s even more dangerous | Judith Levine

Trump’s campaign of repression echoes the red scare. But now the government has bigger ambitions and more powerful tools

Trump's Medicaid work requirements are putting even terminally ill patients through bureaucratic nightmares to keep their health insurance — all to fund even more tax cuts for the wealthy.

Ummm. Whatever happened to all the lawless drug dealing gangs ICE were going to arrest. So far all I've seen is workers, teenagers, grandmothers, US citizens and various people on holiday.

Kamala Harris: We have a president taking America into a war the people did not ask for, spending billions of dollars without paying attention to the people right here in America who are losing their health coverage because of policies they are pushing to pay for a tax cut for the rich…

How is Ken Paxton able to own at least 15 real estate properties worth around $9 million—including a $1 million property in Hawaii with an ocean view—on his government salary of $153,000 per year? Explain it to me like I’m five.

Fauci is a decorated American Hero who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, served 7 presidents, and saved tens of millions of lives. Yesterday they tried to destroy him — diary leaked, prison threats, F-bombs, the works — because he exercised his constitutional right to take the Fifth 👇👇👇

Anthony Fauci Is a Decorated American Hero. Yesterday They Tried to Destroy Him

Presidential Medal of Freedom. Served seven presidents. Tens of millions of lives saved. Then Rand Paul, Tuberville, Moreno, Hawley, and Florida’s AG came for him

Fauci may invoke his 5th Am right, despite Biden’s pardon, which applies only to crimes he “may” have committed in the past. Unless Congress grants him immunity from using his statements against him, he has a reasonable fear of future prosecution from this DOJ. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Anthony Fauci invokes Fifth Amendment right not to answer questions at GOP-led Covid hearing, calls Rand Paul ‘unhinged’

The former top health official said he was invoking the Fifth Amendment to avoid the possibility that Republicans on the Senate committee might try to prosecute him for perjury.

CNN: "The president's overall approval rating now stands at just 34%. That matches his career low following the January 6 insurrection."

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.
