I will have to use that.
I already do not patronize Chik-Fil-A nor Hobby Lobby. We try not to buy any brands tied to Koch Industries even though they are not arbitrarily MAGA but just azzhats. I also don’t patronize Mao-Mart if I can avoid it.
Fork the MAGA.
The Republicans are gonna get smashed in the midterms. Wait till you gotta explain to all those young people that voted for him who are gamers that realize computer parts and their nintendo switch 2's are now gonna cost more because of Tariff's. Companies are gonna take advantage of the Tariff scare to raise prices. He's going to screw with medicaid, I don't buy the narrative its ALL illegals abusing medicaid and his "big beautiful bill" is more than likely gonna be heavy litigated just like in 2017.

What will it take for White, Non-College voters to wake up, realize and acknowledge that the toxic soup of the Republican party that they have invested in and supported for all of these years is not only killing this country, but it will eventually kill them too? How can they be the only group that doesn't have enough clarity to understand that this isn't going to work out for them? That whatever reason (racism, anti-woke, abortion, anti-tax the rich, etc.) they've chosen to support the charlatans that are the Republican party, it will come full circle and kick them in the arse. Hell, it already is. This group really needs a healing of some sort. Because whatever it is that is keeping them tethered to the Republican party will consume us all.

Also called Duck Lips. I thought that ugly crap went out of style circa 2016. Figures it would be all the style in Trump circles.

Due Process- Without it we’re living in a Police State as practiced by the Trump Administration and his minions, the GOP/ MAGOTs who have abdicated their Congressional Duties bowing to their Master. The Selfish Losers cheer until it’s turned on them. Surprise!.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has frozen, stalled or otherwise disrupted some $430 billion in federal funds — from disease research to Head Start for children to disaster aid — in what top Democrats say is an “unprecedented and dangerous” assault on programs used by countless Americans.
Sen. Patty Murray of Washington and Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut on Tuesday released an online tracker that is compiling all the ways President Donald Trump and his adviser Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency are interrupting the flow of federal funds, often going up against the law.
“Instead of investing in the American people, President Trump is ignoring our laws and ripping resources away,” said Murray and DeLauro, who are the top Democrats on the Appropriations committees in Congress.
“No American president has ever so flagrantly ignored our nation’s spending laws or so brazenly denied the American people investments they are owed,” they said.……

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The Trump administration could gut research on the effectiveness of child welfare programs, with plans to terminate dozens of university grants studying improvements to Head Start and child care policy, according to a spreadsheet mistakenly made public this week.
The document listed more than 150 research projects under consideration for termination by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It covered grants funded by the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation, which says it “builds evidence to improve lives” by helping policymakers evaluate programs that help low-income children and families.
“These grants are aimed at learning how to make programs more effective at pursuing goals like healthy child development, reducing abuse and neglect and promoting economic self-sufficiency,” said Naomi Goldstein, who led the office for nearly two decades before she retired in 2022. “It's hard to see why they would want to cancel these efforts.”
The grant cancellations would add to deep cuts already enacted at HHS' Administration for Children and Families, which plans to close five regional offices and abruptly fired hundreds of workers one month ago. Its staffing has dropped from approximately 2,400 in January to 1,500, former employees say, and the administration has said it will fold ACF into other parts of HHS.
Other HHS divisions, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health, have already cut billions of dollars in grants, including those related to public health, gender, race and other subjects opposed by President Donald Trump’s administration. The document released Wednesday marked the first news of plans for the possible mass terminations of ACF grants, although a department spokesperson later said it was only an outdated draft.
The proposed terminations would further undercut Head Start, the 60-year-old program overseen by ACF that supports preschool and services for hundreds of thousands of low-income children. Head Start has faced mass layoffs and a plan to eliminate its funding altogether in recent months. The grants facing termination included studies intended to answer key questions and improve its operations, such as how to retain more educators at local Head Start programs.
The spreadsheet also listed for termination grants worth millions of dollars for first-of-their-kind centers dedicated to better serving low-income Black and Hispanic children and families, located, respectively, at Morehouse College in Atlanta and at a nonprofit in Maryland.
Dozens of grants related to child care policy, child development, foster care, preventing child abuse, the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program and more were also listed as set for cancellation, reflecting ACF's widespread portfolio.
Those studies help policymakers understand what works, a former administration official said.
“Ending these projects without explanation not only wastes taxpayer dollars, it also threatens the evidence base behind key safety net programs,” said Katie Hamm, who was ACF’s deputy assistant secretary for early childhood development until January. “It’s alarming that grantees and contractors had to find out this way, through an accidental email, rather than a transparent process.”..............

White House senior advisor Stephen Miller is on a mission to place America's federal court system under White House control.
His lawsuit filed by the America First Legal Foundation directly targets Chief Justice John Roberts. While packaged as a routine records request, it asks for something far more dangerous: to declare that the bodies running America's federal courts are part of the executive branch, not the independent judiciary.
This would let the president control judicial operations nationwide, from budgets to security. The lawsuit notes that "Federal courts rely on the executive branch for facility management and security" and that judges "need resources to fulfill their constitutional obligations."
Legal scholars view this as part of an escalating campaign to erode judicial independence. UCLA Law professor Blake Emerson told Talking Points Memo that the suit's claims were "outlandish," warning that if successful, it would grant the White House control over "the means by which the judicial branch functionally operates."
Trump has already shown his disdain for the court system by ignoring Supreme Court orders and threatening to withdraw U.S. Marshals' protection from judges.
"To the extent this lawsuit has any value other than clickbait, maybe the underlying message is, we will let our imaginations run wild," said NYU Law professor Peter M. Shane. "The Trump administration and the MAGA community will let our imaginations run wild in our attempts to figure out ways to make the life of the judiciary miserable."...............
