DEMOCRACY WEEKENDER: Trump threatens 6 Dems with death penalty, then retracts the death part; he signs law he once opposed to release Epstein files; MTG to leave House after Trump calls her a traitor Underscoring Trump's behavior this week, besides publicly criticizing women, is his penchant for authoritarianism that becomes increasingly obvious.

No doubt, this last week was a really bad one for Trump (at least until Friday night when #MTG announced her departure from the House in January, because of Trump.) open.substack.com/pub/democrac...

DEMOCRACY WEEKENDER: Trump's bromance with pedophile Epstein & his indifference to consumers' anxieties about "affordability" sink his poll ratings; and Rep. Grijalva comes to Washington Democrats's bad week saw infighting after eight senators caved and voted with GOP to end the longest-ever government shutdown. Democracy Partners' Mike Lux writes how "DC Moderate" may not be moderate

Border Patrol Agents Pose At The Bean For Apparent Photo Op The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, 'Little Village!'"

Disgusting behavior by Trump's goons. Again.

Democracy Weekender: Oh SNAP! Trump wrongly claims Dems are “hurting their own people” during the shutdown that has run out of SNAP food aid for 42 million Americans. WRONG!

DEMOCRACY WEEKENDER: Like the dummy Charlie McCarthy, GOP lawmakers only mouth the words and lies spoken by their boss. The government shutdown shows the fiasco that is the GOP-led Congress, marching in lock-step to Trump's orders, while echoing false charges against undocumented immigrants to rile up Trump's base.

DemocracyWeekender recaps start of govt shutdown, Trump's BIG LIE re immigrants, an op-ed decrying Mark Zuckerberg’s zeal to bend Meta’s policies to serve Trumpism, & GOP not eager to swear in newly elected Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-AZ. And why is this dummy here? open.substack.com/pub/democrac...
