thank you Katie & Krish: Very informative. So much chaos. Every day Trump brings on more crap. I forgot what happened yesterday. Stephen Miller the great orchestrator of the immigration policy. He is a White Supremacist with a touch of the Nazi ideology. The ICE gestapo units are not concerned with harden criminals , no they want to deport all brown immigrants. Next in line will be the dissenters and political foes. A great deal of funding will be forwarded to Trumps personal state police force. SS Homan will be increasing the manpower of his gestapo units so they can speed up the pace and reach their quota. BEWARE.

This is a police state. The USA is in debt for trillions to Japan and China. The USA glory days are over. Distraction from these issues and the coming chaos of widespread poverty and climate collapse is also motivation. The consolidation of wealth and power over the past 40 years and the passing of the Patriot Act foreshadowed this horror.

The BBB has created the largest police force in the country, loyal only to Trump. What could possibly go wrong?

The Continuing Resolution is a healthcare travesty on the least of our citizens. We exclude the poor and the marginalized from access. Did I say the marginalized? Who has marginalized in a free democracy and the wealthiest country in the world? Why are they marginalized?Racism kills, both fast and slow. Health Inequity. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/health-inequity

Trump and his gang of sadists do not care about other people, children or the US constitution.
