Projection
#Trump says he 'won't be extorted' by #Democrats seeking #healthcare for the people
The government #shutdown is poised to become the longest ever this week as #Republicans continue to refuse to negotiate with #Democrats. Millions of people could lose #FoodAid benefits, #health #care subsidies are set to expire & there are few real talks between the parties over how to end it.

---
A pastor was pulled over for looking lost. A 72-year-old was marched out in his bathrobe due to mistaken identity. Memphis’ mayor welcomed the federal law enforcement surge, but some residents say they feel targeted just going about their lives.

The U.S. government shutdown could become longest ever as Trump says he "won’t be extorted" by Democrats.
@AssociatedPress reports: "Millions of people stand to lose food aid benefits, health care subsidies are set to expire and there are few real talks between the parties over how to end it."
The perfect candidate to step in for Biden will be the one who is confident looking out over the massive crowd gathered for his or her ascension and saying:
“And to my Republican friends… [restrained catcalls & boos] …to my Republican friends, my party and I welcome the fight ahead! And I urge you, please, please—do not do what we have done; stick with Trump!”

On Tuesday #Trump will hold a “crime” rally in a notorious white supremacist stronghold.
Meanwhile here, according to Jeff Asher, is what has happened to murder over the past few years (the spike was in 2020, when Trump was president)

Trump is completely incoherent when talking about one of his signature policies.
Meanwhile, the press is hectoring #KamalaHarris over her "price controls."
WaPo's run one opinion piece about tariffs in the last six months. It was headlined, "How #Trump taught #Biden to love tariffs."
They've run a grand total of one opinion piece this year about the central policy proposal of his campaign, rounding up and deporting 15 million people.

Is anyone paying attention?
"Campaigners have accused Meta of being condescending and unresponsive, with the company offering only vague reasons why certain accounts were taken down – and appearing unwilling to engage."
These interventions "...reinforce the power imbalance that allows big tech to decide whose voices are amplified and whose are silenced."
That is why we should all move to the Fediverse.

"Trump’s 'Gatsby' gala wasn’t homage but autopsy — a champagne-soaked dirge for a nation that once believed in class, grace, and conscience. ...
Trump, the man who once wrapped himself in the mantle of populism, threw a party mocking the very people who once believed him."

#Trump has accused boat crews of being *narco-terrorists*. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced
One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a fmr military cadet. And a fourth was a down-on-his-luck bus driver.

Pope Leo's recent criticisms of #Trump anti-#immigration policies are emboldening #Catholic efforts to help #immigrants caught up in the admin's hardline crackdown, snr US Church leaders say.
After Leo called on Tues for "deep reflection" in the #US about the admin's treatment of #immigrants, several top bishops as well as the country's main network of Catholic nuns & its national charity federation told Reuters they would step up their work.
