@RollCall @politics-RollCall This tactic is not new. #Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution severely damaged China's education system. Schools were closed, teachers were persecuted, and the focus shifted to political indoctrination rather than academic learning. This disruption served to eliminate potential opposition, consolidate Mao's power, and control the younger generation by prioritizing Mao Zedong Thought over critical thinking, leaving a lasting negative impact on China's intellectual development.

Anytime I see something from the GOP, it sounds like a 'good' thing, but it is just a cruel action plan with a nice title on it.
In Canada #PP does the same thing - he makes sure he has the sound bite "We support Ukraine" and then votes against the support for some lame-ass reason.
Watch what they do and don't believe a word of what they say - because they are liars.

Something that seems like it's gone under the radar is #PBS shutting down their #deia program and firing the program management. This is an infuriating and disappointing move by PBS to choose #compliance in advance rather than #defiance. Every inch we give to the #fascists is an inch we may never get back. Hold strong and #resist. The #resistance is having an effect, #muskrat and co are not invincible and your efforts matter.
Please call your local station and send a message to PBS headquarters. Tell them you are unhappy with their decision to support an illegal #coup of #hate, #violence, and #sciencedenial #sciencedenialism. Media needs to remain independent and unafraid of #fascism, something the big media #corporations have seemingly forgotten.

Undocumented immigrants in the US have substantially lower crime rates than US-born citizens. Immigrants are 60% less likely to be incarcerated than US-born citizens.
Exclusive: Records undercut #TulsiGabbard’s claim of ignorance on cleric’s views
The nominee for director of national #intelligence said, under oath, that she did not know “until today” that a prominent #cleric she met in #Syria threatened to unleash #SuicideBombers in the #UnitedStates. Documents & emails from 2017 indicate she was told then about the threats.

Mark Wahlberg is an idiot, but one of his movies had this portrayal of a gawp senator:
"WH press Sec Leavitt did her 1st press briefing today & told a number of demonstrable lies (Biden sending condoms for Gaza, criminal records of undoc. migrants...)."
-M Hasan.
Journalist B Grueskin slammed the NYT -leaving readers with "no idea if 72M Americans had been kicked off MDCD" thanks to Trump's EO this week that froze all govt grants & led to MDCD portals temp. shut down.
The NYT described her as "steely & unflinching" despite false claims...

"Trump told prosecutors to DIVERT RESOURCES AWAY FROM DRUG TRAFFICKERS to go after #Immigrants."
-AR Melnick
Trump wants higher arrest numbers to sustain the fiction that we're under invasion & he should have sweeping new likely illegal powers to combat it -this will force LE to divert resources away from serious criminals & toward lower hanging fruit.
His demand for much higher arrests will force ICE to divert resources -potentially making us less safe.

Wondering how this is going down with those groups of Moslem-Americans who thought Trump would support Gazans more than a female Dem president.
“We've arrested 1,300 ppl, >1000 of them are criminals."
-T Homan
“ICE didn’t track down the locations of 1,300 ppl in 3 days.” Biden tracked them & was arresting that many before Trump came in. This is normal weekday operations for ICE."
-D Bier
"In FY2024, under Biden, average daily ICE arrests: 310, detainers served: 409."
-AR Melnick
We're going to see an explosion in propaganda designed to support the idea that we're under "INVASION."

Trump is upset with the WaPo because a prominent journalist reported that his admin will probably change the tariff strategy so to not immediately shock the system, & turn Americans against him.
Since he lies about everything, it's likely true.
When his tariff plans change at a later date, he will assume most Americans will forget about his original tariff agenda. So far, it's worked for him.

2025 will be a difficult year, & I'm probably underestimating the carnage that will be wreaked on Americans.
The lies & the disinformation that's already been spewed since Jan 1 by Trump & his cabal, are off the chart. Fact-checkers will need assistance in keeping up with 24/7 nauseam. Dem leaders must hold Republicans' feet to the fire, explain & remind Americans of the Biden admin successes, & what's needed to continue that work...
GOP’s 1st order of bus: getting rid of math -change how trade figures are calculated to exaggerate the size of trade deficits. It'd massively distort how we measure & understand economic changes -symptomatic of Trump’s habit of torturing the data until it confesses.
Navarro & Vought
will serve in key economic roles in his admin -records of trying to "bully career statisticians."
Extension of Trump's tax cuts: add >$4T to: fed debt over the next decade.
