Fascist power grab
Dictator in a hurry

Trump’s Fascist Playbook—Dismantling America

Pain and Death Budget Bill
(Senator Ernst of Iowa made the plan to increase death and suffering completely clear.
She has insisted that her comments in a town hall was taken out of context so we include the content-in which she was lying about medicaid. She was lying about many things, including claims of large numbers of ineligible people on the rolls and implying the national taxpayers pay for those persons. The linked article exposes many of the lies.
Senator Ernst insists that early death and unnecessary suffering prior to that preventable and early death (due to unmet medical needs among 14 million people) is fine with her super Christian self in her fake apology.
More people are eligible for Medicaid than have managed through the paperwork wall that GOP created.
Undocumented people ARE on medicaid BUT since they are being paid by state funds, and many of them are children, it is not the Federal government's business. The GOP, however, MAGA and Trump .
Utah's Senator Curtis also admits the pain and suffering. In Logan Utah, at a nearly private event Senator Curtis said the current patch of disruption the country is going through is painful, but stated his belief the United States will be better for it.)
Other options:
Paying-more-for-less budget bill
EXPLODING💥💥Deficit Bill 🎆🎇🎇
(3-5 trillion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
$4,000,000,000,000.
It would take approximately 126,944 years to spend 4 trillion dollars
at a rate of one dollar per second. Going back in time, 127,000 years ago was at peak of an ice age, that was followed by two others. This is such an enormous number that in human terms 125 ka was prior to homo sapiens leaving Africa.
So much debt that our US bonds have been downgraded in quality ALREADY!)
Big Bad aBysmal Betrayal Bill
Fascist Budget and Plunder Bill
(Judges lose their power to hold lawbreaking loyalists and Maga-cult members in contempt, a police state is built using our taxpayer money, exploding our already horrific prison complex . See one take here. Increase ICE detention budget for prisons to 5 that of the existing federal prison systm!!!!!. Provisions preventing the states from protecting citizens from dangerous fascist AI surveillance. They are already using our private digital data to track, manipulate, and control us for fascism).
Crippling Courts. The bill, hiding behind the premise that it is an appropriations measure, prohibits any funds from being used to carry out court orders holding executive branch officials in contempt. This is designed to enable Trump and his officials to continue defying court orders. It is almost certainly unconstitutional—if courts have the nerve to say so.
More Savaging of Migrants. The bill adds $45 billion to build immigration jails—more than 13 times ICE’s current detention budget. The bill would allow indefinite detention of immigrant children. It also adds several fees intended to harass. The measure charges families $3,500 to reunite with a child who arrived alone at the border, and a person seeking asylum will have to pay an “application fee” of at least $1,000.
Terminating the Tax Status of Nonprofits. The reconciliation text gives the administration the power to define nonprofits as “terrorist-supporting organizations” and expedite the ending of their tax status. This is ostensibly directed against pro-Palestinian groups, but could be used to suppress the free speech and activism of climate organizations and others.
Blocking State Regulation of AI. The bill prohibits any state or subdivision from passing “any law or regulation regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems, or automated decision systems during the 10-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act.” It requires the repeal of any such laws already on the books. According to The Lever, the language could be stretched to block efforts by local governments to regulate private equity firms and other landlords using AI software to jack up rents.
Stealth Cuts in the Affordable Care Act. The bill allows tax credits that subsidize ACA premiums to expire at the end of 2025. The result will be that out-of-pocket costs for insurance under the ACA will become more expensive and millions of people will lose coverage.
And … Support for Gun Silencers. Buried deep in the bill is a provision that repeals the $200 excise tax on the sale of gun silencers, which have no lawful purpose other than concealing shootings.
