On August 1, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced that it would close following the cuts approved by the Republican Congress last month.
The same day, Donald Trump announced he would fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because he didn’t like the job numbers that show how quickly his policies have wrecked what was the best job market for Americans in this century.
The same day, the Republican Supreme Court announced what looks like its intention to destroy what’s left of the Voting Rights Act.
The same day, we found out the Trump regime had broken the federal prison system’s rules to send Jeffrey Epstein’s partner in a massive child rape scheme to a cushy prison as part of Trump’s cover-up of his role in said scheme.
The same day, we learned we get to buy Trump a $200 million ballroom for the White House to go with the billion dollars we’re spending on his Qatari plane, which he’ll hopefully only fly for a year as president.
The same day, Trump wagged a nuclear weapon at Russia to rage against the weakness he’s feeling despite all his unchecked power.
The same day, Trump’s illegal tariff regime went into effect, smacking hundreds of millions of dollars in sales taxes on American consumers for imported products.
Meanwhile, we found out that there’s a hunger strike going on inside the showcase concentration camp of the Trump regime.
This unfolding nightnmare should remind us that, as bad as all this purposeful confusion, doubt, and cruelty is for all Americans who don’t buy into the MAGA zero-sum-gain worldview, it’s the worst for the most vulnerable—those Trump is needlessly crowding into unfinished camps or sending to foreign countries to be raped, tortured, or both.
