Trump has been on a rampage against mayoral candidate Mamdani. Mamdani has already been driving out criminals even before taking office, it’s easy to see why Trump, a convicted felon, doesn’t like him.

#Chicago is choosing #justice over fear, as it has in the past
In 1850, the #FederalGovernment deputized local officials to enforce #slavery. In 2025, it demands cooperation in #deportation. Chicago resisted nearly two centuries ago, & it still is today.

"Nor do people understand how quickly a shutdown can set off a catastrophic chain reaction. 'When things you can’t even imagine start to break, damage starts to occur. And then, at that point, global investors say, "Oh, maybe this is something very different than what I’ve seen in the past.’”

"In the reality show that has replaced a properly functioning system of democratic governance, we are fast approaching the moment when a shutdown stops being a subject of political bluster and starts hurting Americans."

Welcome to Day Two of the government shutdown that we are having because Republicans want people to have to pay more for health care and the Democrats don’t. …
The primary sticking point, of course, is that Democrats want to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies that allow millions of Americans to afford health insurance."

"Confucius famously said, 'Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.' Trump, Vance and the MAGA faithful are so consumed by their desire to inflict pain on us, to inflict pain on immigrants, that they clearly don’t realize (or don’t care) that they are ultimately going to hurt their own people just as much, if not more."

"There’s a time-honored rule in politics: If you want to undermine your opponents, turn their strength into a weakness. As we enter Day Two of the latest government shutdown, that’s precisely what Donald Trump and the Republicans are trying to do to Democrats as the parties wage a messaging war over the shutdown."

"Without these subsidies, 26 million people who currently qualify for subsidies will pay more than double what they are currently paying, and 4 million people who currently have health insurance will not be able to afford it.
The other sticking point is that Democrats want to undo the massive cuts to Medicaid that will lead to even more people not having health insurance.:

"[Republicans] have the votes, and they could immediately reopen the government without Democratic support if they really wanted to.
So why aren’t they doing it? Because they want Americans to suffer, and they’re hoping they can pin the pain on Democrats. It’s that simple."

"President Donald Trump and his lackeys are in an all-out push to blame Democrats for the government shutdown. It’s laughable—they control the White House, the Senate, the House, and for good measure, the Supreme Court. Democrats have no power."

"[Russell] Vought couldn't care less if every family dependent on WIC died by the side of the road. He might be a bit more gingerly in approaching military pay, but I wouldn't bet real money on it. Vought is an uncompromising ideologue dedicated to some pretty destructive notions on how the country should be run."

"In the Trump worldview, where you either dominate or are dominated, it’s obviously not a great cognitive leap to turn the government shutdown into a chance to punish blue states and Democrats."

The #shutdown is the first since Jan 2019, & the 4th of #Trump’s 2 terms. Admin ofcls this time, though, have signaled plans to use the closed agencies as a way to vastly reshape the #FederalGovernment & consolidate #power under the presidency.
#OMB dir #RussVought ordered agencies to consider #MassFirings rather than #furloughs. His instructions to agencies include guidance on rewriting #regulations surrounding federal #grants & challenging #Congress’s constitutional #power over spending.

The #UnitedStates #FederalGovernment is officially #shutdown.
The last time this happened was in 2019, wanna guess who was president then?

The complaints shed light on much of the internal strife at the agency earlier this year, as the #Trump admin clamped down on the country’s #medical research #funding apparatus.
The scientists drew particular attention to what they described as an administration-wide “hostility” toward #vaccines that they said had taken hold in the upper echelons of the #NIH, long one of the world’s leading engines of #vaccine #research.
The allegations added to a growing chorus of protest from former high-ranking #health officials over what they warned were dangerous & unscientific views about #vaccines gripping the #FederalGovernment & potentially opening the door to preventable infections.
Those policies have not only restricted people’s #access to vaccines, …but also have constrained federally funded #research on future inoculations against #InfectiousDiseases.

"Every cancer patient should know the next round of life-saving drugs is being stolen from them by people in Washington who don’t want them developed. Every parent should know their children are more likely to become gravely ill—or even die.
Make Cancer Great Again."
