The Department of Homeland Security is looking to boost its deployment of the military on the streets of the U.S. in order to help carry out Donald Trump’s immigration policies, according to a leaked memo written by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s brother.
There’s still a good chance he chickens out and holds actual elections this mid season and in 3 1/2 years.
We’ll find out either way.
Not sure they’ll matter. The only party viably able to unseat some of the Republicans right now is shit on by the right, left, and center daily. Meaning the odds that people will show up in droves during a midterm to vote for them is minimal. And when the Republicans hold the Senate, they’ll get Roberts, Thomas, and Alito to retire and Trump to replace them with far right justices who owe their lifelong cushy jobs to those Republicans. So we’ll have ~16 years of Republican support in the Judicial branch all but guaranteed. When 33% of the government is owned by a party, all they have to do is secure 1 half on Congress and they can prevent the country from moving left.
The last administration “led” with 50% majority control of the government. This one leads with 100% majority control. It won’t be easy to come back from.
And its being shit on because the repubs and their russian bot farms are pushing the narrative. We need to still vote and not give in.
Even if everything changes Democrats are very good at doing nothing. Not to mention the amount of damage already done and the decades it would take to fix it.
